Breaking News: Tamron AF55-200MM F/4-5.6 Di II LD Macro Lens


November 2005


bn_tamron_af55_200_smallTAMRON INTRODUCES AF55-200MM F/4-5.6 Di II LD MACRO

A Telephoto Zoom Designed for Exclusive Use with Digital SLR Cameras Available at an Affordable Price

Tamron announced the winter delivery of the AF55-200mm F/4-5.6 Di II MACRO LD (Model A15), a new tele-zoom designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras with smaller-size image sensors* that will be available at an affordable price.

*Di (Digitally integrated)-II lenses are designed for exclusive use on digital cameras with smaller-size imagers. This lens is not designed for use with 35mm film cameras or digital SLR cameras with image sensors larger than 24mm x 16mm.

For photographers who bought their digital SLR camera in a kit with a standard zoom lens but are dissatisfied with the telephoto capability of the standard lens, the new AF55-200mm F/4-5.6 Di II LD MACRO offers in a second lens a desirable telephoto range at an affordable price. The new tele-zoom from Tamron will allow these photographers to enjoy the telephoto capabilities that yield dynamic images in many photographic situations including sporting events, large wildlife, scenery and portraiture.

MAIN FEATURES

Popular-type Tele-zoom for Exclusive Use on Digital SLR Cameras

This is a telephoto zoom for exclusive use on digital SLR cameras that covers the focal length range equivalent to 85-310mm when converted to a 35mm format. The lens will allow owners of digital SLRs fitted with standard zoom lenses to enjoy with ease the professional-looking “pulling” and “compression” effects particular to telephoto lenses.

Lightweight and Compact Design Thanks to Optical System for Exclusive Use on Digital Cameras

Since the optical system is designed for exclusive use on digital cameras, the image circle is smaller, resulting in a compact package measuring 83.0mm (3.3”), accepting a 52mm standard filter and weighing a mere 295 grams (10.4oz.)*.

*Values given are the lens for Nikon AF cameras.
