TAMRON AF 70-300 F4-5.6 Di LD Macro Lens for Nikon SLRs

TAMRON AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 AF

Lens suits Nikon Digital and Film SLRs

Suited to: Nikon D100, D200, D300s, D3, D70, D70s, D90, D80 & D50 SLR's, where the focusing motor is inside the camera body.

Not suited to: Nikon 40, 40x, D3000, D5000 and D60.  Owners need to use AF-S lenses.

This is the definitive lightweight, compact telephoto macro zoom with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at the 300mm setting - ideal for shooting subjects that are difficult to approach such as sporting and theatrical events. The lens also features special effects such as the capability to provide beautifully blurred backgrounds to highlight the main subject in portraiture, or "compression effects" that make the most of the telephoto lens. By switching to macro mode, subjects as close as 0.95m can be shot within the focal range of 180-300mm, for true macro photography. The optical system incorporates a LD (Low Dispersion) lens, resulting in clear sharp images free of chromatic aberration.

Telephoto photography couldn't be easier.

Tamron now offers a lightweight, compact,
high-image-quality telephoto zoom lens with macro capability of 1:2
that can be used with digital cameras. This new lens is a Di type lens
using an optical system with improved multi-coating designed to function
with digital SLR cameras as well as Nikon 35mm film cameras.

With this 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch
in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification
ratio of 1:2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4", enabling
close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally
require the use of a specially designed macro lens. Moreover,
this is a zoom lens that casually offers the distant capture and
foreshortening effect pleasures of the 300mm ultra-telephoto world.
