Landscape, Snapshots, Portraits, Animals, Birds: An All-in-One Zoom Lens for All Kinds of Photography

The main feature of this lens is its broad 16.6x zoom ratio, the world’s first¹ for an APS-C size mirrorless interchangeable lens when it was released in 2021. It covers a focal length of 18–300mm², allowing you to take a wide range of photos from wide-angle to super-telephoto. In particular, this all-in-one zoom with its 300mm super-telephoto reach is useful in a wide range of situations, from vast landscapes and everyday snapshots to portraits, as well as animals, birds, sports and kids’ events.

In addition, the weight is approximately 620g (21.9oz)³, and the filter diameter is φ67mm — the same as many in our mirrorless lens series. The compact design is ideal for use on trips and hikes.

Best-in-Class Autofocus, VXD That’s Fast and Precise, Great for Bird and Animal Photography

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC lens is a versatile zoom with speed, precision and responsiveness that ranks at the top of the all-in-one zoom lens category, due in part to TAMRON's VXD linear motor focus mechanism.
