The Tamron 80-210mm F/4.5-5.6 is a full-frame telephoto zoom lens built for DSLR systems, available in Canon EF and Nikon F mounts. Its focal length spans 80mm to 210mm, covering a range well-suited to a variety of telephoto applications. The variable maximum aperture runs from f/4.5 at the wide end to f/5.6 at full zoom.
