18-300mm VC VXD: wide-angle though ultra tele-photo, all-in-one

The 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD (Model B061) is an all-in-one zoom lens for Canon RF-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. The main feature of this lens is its broad 16.6x zoom ratio. It covers a focal length of 18-300mm, allowing you to take a wide range of photos from wide-angle to super-telephoto. In particular, this all-in-one zoom with its 300mm super-telephoto reach is useful in a wide range of situations, from vast landscapes and everyday snapshots to portraits, as well as animals, birds, sports and kids’ events. In addition, the weight is 625g, and the filter diameter is 67mm - the same as many in Tamron’s mirrorless lens series. The compact design is ideal for use on trips and hikes.

Best-in-class fast and precise autofocus VXD
The 18-300mm f/F3.5-6.3 VC lens is a versatile zoom with speed, precision and responsiveness that ranks at the top of the all-in-one zoom lens category, due in part to Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. Even at the ultra-telephoto focal length of 300mm, this lens provides comfortable focusing from the minimum distance to infinity. Its focus tracking expertly captures decisive moments when photographing birds, animals, vehicles or other moving subjects. Since the lens group for focusing can be driven directly without the use of gears, the linear motor suppresses drive noise, making it ideal for still photo and video shooting in quiet environments.

Maximum magnification ratio is 1:2
At the 18mm wide end, the lens attains an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15m and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. With an amazing working distance of 5mm, you can get as close as you want to your subject while capturing the background and take a photographic expression unique to wide macro photography.

Uncompromising optical performance throughout the entire zoom range
The 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 VC provides superbly high resolution created through Tamron’s persistent pursuit of outstanding image quality. The optical construction includes several special lens elements, specifically four LD (Low Dispersion) and three hybrid aspherical lens elements. These elements help to produce clear, sharp images from the centre to the corners. Chromatic aberration and other optical aberrations are well corrected. In addition, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating suppresses ghosting and flare, which commonly occur in backlit scenes. Throughout the entire zoom range, the 18-300mm f/5-6.3 VC provides both high image quality and soft creamy bokeh.

VC supports telephoto and low-light shooting
This lens is equipped with Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism to minimize the effect of camera-shake, which is likely to occur in the telephoto range. It displays its ability to perform when shooting handheld under low-light conditions such as indoor or when shooting at night. It effectively reduces the degradation of image quality. Using AI technologies, the lens will choose the compensation characteristic for videography at focal lengths of 70mm or less.

AF/MF switch and VC ON/OFF switch for Canon RF mount
The 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 VC for Canon RF mount is equipped with an AF/MF switch and a VC ON/OFF switch. You can adjust the AF/MF switch for close-up photography of flowers or table photos. Also, you can switch VC ON/OFF for handheld or tripod shooting. It allows flexible settings according to the shooting situation and achieves even greater convenience and comfortable operability.

Tamron Lens Utility software for Nikon Z and Canon RF-mounts
With the Nikon Z and the Canon RF mount versions, you can use the dedicated Tamron Lens Utility software that was developed in-house by Tamron. This application lets you easily update the lens to the latest firmware themselves without going through the camera. On the firmware information screen, you can check the version of your lens and update it if a newer firmware version is available.

Unified 67mm filter size
Nearly all Tamron mirrorless lenses have a 67mm filter size. This allows you to use the same filter among a wide range of lenses. PL and ND filters are typically expensive, so sharing saves money. Additionally, this eliminates the need to search for caps with different diameters when switching lenses. All lenses in this series are compact, lightweight and extremely portable, making it easier when carrying multiple lenses at the same time.
