Dynamic shots require dynamic lenses
With an XLD lens element to deliver high resolution, image stabilization and a turbo speed silent autofocus, Tamron's new telephoto zoom makes it easy to capture the most difficult shots. Introducing the new SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di VC USD. The new optical design of Tamron's advanced telephoto zoom lens delivers a whole new world of possibilities. It allows the photographer to draw the subject close and separate them from their background, creating photographs with spectacular contrast and depth.

This lens also boasts Tamron's USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) and proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization. It gives the photographer the ability to capture fast moving subjects without blurring even in low light and its new optical design that employs an XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) lens element made with highly specialized glass delivers crisp, clear images with sharp contrast.

Highly specialized XLD lens elements for extreme high resolution
This lens advanced optical design employs a sophisticated XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) lens element made from specialized high-grade glass that has lower dispersive properties than standard LD lenses (where refraction causes the dispersion of white light into spectral hues). The dispersive properties of the XLD lens are at a level similar to fluorite and in combination with LD elements make for an optimal optical design that delivers best in class resolution with advanced axial chromatic and magnification aberration correction - major inhibitors of image quality enhancement. The result is a lens that delivers sharp contrast and better descriptive performance throughout the entire zoom range.
