The Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD for Fuji X is a versatile superzoom designed for APS-C format Fuji X-mount mirrorless cameras. Key features include:
Versatile, all-in-one, 27-450mm equivalent zoom
High-quality optical design
Fast, precise, and nearly silent autofocus
VC image stabilization system
Versatile All-In-One Zoom. The Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD’s versatile 27-450mm equivalent zoom range makes it great for a broad array of shooting situations, including travel, wildlife, and everyday use.
Variable Aperture. The variable f/3.5-6.3 aperture isn’t useful for low-light shooting, so you’ll probably want to stick with outdoor-lighting conditions for best results. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth, pleasing bokeh for shallow depth-of-field techniques.
Advanced Optical Design. The five-group/nineteen-element optical formula includes aspherical and special lens elements to give you sharp, high-contrast images across the image plane at every point in the zoom range. Each element features Tamron’s BBAR-G2 coating to combat flare and ghosting for even greater contrast in backlit and harsh lighting conditions.
Fast, Accurate Autofocus. The 18-300mm uses two linear motors to autofocus quickly, accurately, smoothly, and quietly, making it ideal for stills and video alike. This focusing system gives you a 5.9-inch minimum focusing distance when fully zoomed out, and a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio at the wide end of the zoom range.
Vibration Compensation. Tamron’s Vibration Compensation system is based around a free-floating element controlled by two gyroscoping sensors that measure horizontal and vertical vibrations and compensate accordingly to eliminate the appearance of camera shake.
Di III refers to Tamron’s third generation of Digitally Integrated Design lenses that have been engineered specifically for mirrorless, interchangeable-lens cameras with no internal mirror box or pentaprism.
VC refers to Tamron’s proprietary Vibration Compensation image-stabilization system.
VXD refers to the Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive autofocus system. “VXD” being catchier and less unwieldy than “VCETD,” I suppose!
No, this lens was designed specifically for APS-C format Fuji X-mount cameras.
