The Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD Lens is an all-in-one wide angle to telephoto zoom lens for Fuji X-Mount mirrorless camera systems. APS-C lens, covers 27mm to 450mm zoom range, making it a very versatile travel zoom lens with over 16x zoom range. Also very impressive is its amazing close up focusing abilities of just 15cm, with a half life size macro capability, and its in-built Image Stabilisation / Vibration control (VC) - making the Tamron 18-300mm a superb all rounder for the Fujifilm mirrorless compact digital cameras. It is the worldwide first zoom lens with 16.6x magnification for mirrorless APS-C cameras and is suitable for a wide range of photographic applications. The carefully balanced optical system includes several special glasses that enable 16.6x magnification with the highest image quality. The resolution from the optical centre to the edge of the image remains consistently high over the entire focal length range. Fascinating close-ups are achievable with a maximum reproduction scale of 1:2 (half life-size), with a close-up distance of only 0.15m at the 18mm focal length the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD has impressively good close-up skills compared to other all-in-one zoom lenses. Even at 300mm the 1:4 (quarter life-size) is useful for larger insects such as butterflies to remain a longer distance from the subject to avoid scaring them. The autofocus system is based on the VXD linear motor technology developed by Tamron, which focuses on the subject quickly and precisely with near silent operation, ideal for photo and video recording. The lens has Tamron's VC image stabilization, which uses a free-floating element, controlled through two gyroscopic sensors to measure the horizontal and vertical vibrations, which compensates for unwanted camera shake. In addition, it is equipped with artificial intelligence that automatically selects the optimal VC setting for video recordings with focal lengths of up to 70mm.
