Tamron 15x Zoom - Cannon and Nikon DSLR

by Jay Garrett on August 2, 2008

Tamron 15x ZoomWe’re used to seeing 15x attached to point n shooters but for DSLRs it seems to be a different story.

Not for long though people!

Tamron’s new ultra zoom lens will set the record straight.

Apparently the first lens of its kind, the AF18-270MM Di II VC covers the 35mm equivalent range of 28mm to 419mm, and does so with a little help from Tamron’s proprietary tri-axial Vibration Compensation (or VC) mechanism.

This VC gubbins promises to eliminate, or at least, substantially reduce the effects of camera shake.

There’s not even a hint regarding price or release date but we are assured that the lens will be available in both Canon and Nikon mounts whenever it makes it out.
