Tamron 28-105/4.0-5.6 | $128.95 | | |
The AF28-105mm F/4-5.6 features an Internal Focusing (IF) design which provides excellent depictive capabilities such as color fidelity contrast and image sharpness throughout the entire focal length range at any focusing distance from infinity to minimum
focusing distance. The IF system also allows a minimum focus distance of only 19.7-inches (50cm) throughout the entire focal length range. At this close M.O.D. the lens will yield a 1:5.6 magnification ratio at the 105mm setting to capture extraordinary
images of objects close-up.
The new AF28-105mm is extremely appropriate in size and weight for today's compact SLR cameras. The multi-group zoom design consisting of 15 elements in 12 groups employed in this lens achieves the compactness in its overal
l chassis size while achieving a higher level of image quality. In addition like many of Tamron's other popular zooms this lens uses sophisticated engineering plastic components to achieve its light-weight a critical factor in the standard zoom category.
High contrast levels from wide to telephoto are accomplished in part due to Tamron's flower-shaped lens hood supplied as a standard accessory which is an intrinsic part of the mechanical design of the lens. Use of this efficient lens hood as well as a p
olarizing filter are made easy by the non-rotating front element another benefit of the IF system.
