The Nikon F-mount 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD from Tamron is a real all-in-one lens suitable for photographing the widest of panoramas to the details of animals. It has an excellent wide-angle to super-telephoto range. This 27-600mm equivalent lens, made for DX-format DSLRs, features a three-step extension mechanism to maintain a small and light form factor despite its wide field of view. For constant sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range, a number of aspherical and low dispersion elements in the optics work to correct different aberrations and distortion.
This lens has an HLD autofocus motor that benefits the reach and optical design by providing rapid, responsive, and silent focusing performance for video recording demands. Additionally available is vibration compensation, which may compensate for up to 2.5 stops of camera shake and help produce better images when shooting handheld. Additionally, a moisture-resistant construction ensures its use in challenging environmental circumstances, complementing the 18-400mm's all-in-one certification.
- All-in-one zoom is designed for Canon EF-mount APS-C-format DSLRs, and provides a 28.8-640mm equivalent focal length range.
- Two molded glass aspherical elements and one hybrid aspherical element help to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range to deliver notable sharpness and accurate rendering.
- Three low dispersion elements suppress chromatic aberration and color fringing to realize improved clarity and color accuracy.
- HLD (High/Low torque modulated Drive) motor delivers fast, precise, and responsive focusing performance that benefits both stills and video applications. The motor's design and circular arc shape also contributes to the lens's compact overall form factor.
- Vibration Compensation helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake by up to 2.5 stops for sharper imagery when shooting handheld
- An electromagnetic diaphragm is used for more precise and consistent exposure control, especially when shooting at high continuous shooting rates.
- Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
- Moisture-resistant construction enables this lens's use during inclement weather conditions.
- Both the zoom and focus rings are textured for improved grip and, additionally, a Zoom Lock mechanism prevents the zoom from accidentally extending when not in use.
- Compatible with optional TAP-in Console for fine-tuning select focusing adjustments and for updating lens firmware.
