Description — Tamron A035
The Tamron 100-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD is a telephoto zoom lens covering a 100–400mm focal length range, designed for full-frame DSLR cameras. It is offered in both Canon EF and Nikon F mounts, giving photographers using either major DSLR system the option to add long-reach zoom capability to their kit. The lens features optical image stabilization to help counter camera shake during handheld shooting, which is particularly relevant at the 400mm maximum focal length.
A maximum aperture of f/4.5–6.3 means the lens follows a variable aperture design as you zoom through the range. Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, allowing the shooter to choose their preferred method of focus control. The lens accepts 67mm filters, and its zoom design provides compositional flexibility across a wide telephoto range.
At 1,115g, it has a substantial build suited for full-frame DSLR bodies.
