Tamron has declared the growth of a 60mm F2 macro lens that provides 1:1 zoom for APS-C receptors. The lens, called the SP AF60mm F/2.0 Di II Macro 1:1, will be available in Cannon, Sony models and Nikon installs (with a built-in auto-focus engine to allow AF to operate on the D40, D40X and D60). Its style, which features two low distribution components to to make up for various aberrations, lets you achieve 1:1 zoom at a operating range of 100mm. The F2 highest possible aperture makes it a whole quit quicker than other contacts in the same category. Cost and availability will be declared later.comprehensive manufacturer of visual products with its secret headquarters in Saitama City, declared the growth of the SP AF60mm F/2.0 Di II LD (IF) MACRO 1:1 (Model G005), a life-size macro lens designed only for electronic SLR electronic cameras with APS-C dimension picture sensors** that offers a quick highest possible aperture of F/2.0.
The SP AF60mm F/2.0 Di II LD (IF) MACRO 1:1 (Model G005), covering an comparative position of perspective of 93mm when converted to the Negatives format*** and offering a highest possible aperture of F/2.0—one quit quicker than the F/2.8 highest possible aperture found on traditional macro contacts in the same class—is a quick life-size macro lens that provides dramatically eye-catching blurred qualifications results.
The new life-size macro lens from Tamron is expected to be made available in installs for Cannon, Nikon (with built-in AF motor) and Sony models. Cost and launch dates will be declared at a later date.
Development Concept
Tamron’s macro contacts (SP AF90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 (Model 272E), SP AF180mm F/3.5 Di MACRO 1:1 (Model B01) are well-known for their excellent visual efficiency. Particularly, the Tamron SP AF90mm macro lens first introduced in 1979 and subsequently upgraded and restored seven times since has been highly analyzed by many photography lovers as a lens that provides not only eye-catching out-of-focus results and distinct illustrative efficiency in macro electronic photography with its easy-to-use central duration, but also as a lens ideal for portraiture.
Amid the growing popularity of APS-C dimension DSLRs, Tamron identifies that there are many photography lovers who wish have fun with macro electronic photography with a central duration that provides an position of perspective comparative to 90mm.
Tamron therefore designed the SP AF60mm method telephoto macro lens to meet the desire of those users and goes a step further by providing the very quickly and desirable highest possible aperture of F/2.0. The SP AF60mm is a top rated and versatile lens that is suitable not only for macro electronic photography of fabrics, small animals, plants and more, but also for portraiture by using its easy-to-use central duration, quick highest possible aperture and great visual high quality even in low-lit conditions.
Optical Features
Medium telephoto 1:1 life-size macro lens featuring a quick highest possible aperture of F/2.0 that strikes a fine stability between eye-catching out-of-focus results and sharpness
The SP AF60mm is a method telephoto macro lens designed for APS-C dimension electronic SLR electronic cameras that realizes the quick highest possible aperture of F/2.0 for initially on the globe. Using an visual style approach that connects systematic importance to visual high quality, Tamron’s visual designers have successfully controlled complex movements of respective lens groups to be able to limit the increase in aberration changes due to the quick highest possible aperture, thus achieving excellent depictive efficiency that is consistently distinct from the center to the outside.
Since the highest possible aperture of F/2.0 provides a depth-of-field that is not so deep than that of traditional F/2.8 contacts, the new lens allows the customer to expand the range of the macro photography expression. The SP AF60mm designed by mixing Tamron’s gathered macro lens style know-how is an eye-catching lens that preserves a well-balanced relationship between distinct picture efficiency and beautiful out-of-focus qualifications results.
Employment of special low-dispersion cup elements
The lens utilizes two huge LD (low dispersion) cup components in its first team to thoroughly make up for various aberrations and attain great visual high quality.
Working range of 100mm, the lengthiest range among contacts in this class. Tamron has noticed the lengthy operating range of 100mm from the top side element of the lens to the subject in 1:1 life-size macro electronic photography. The lengthy operating range allows the customer to take macro shots while keeping a sufficient range from such topics like fearful insects that are likely to escape if you move in too near. Also, with this more time operating range, you can avoid catching the shadow of the lens gun barrel as is often the case with traditional macro contacts with insufficient operating distances.
Meticulous countermeasures against blurry and flare
Tamron employed new BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) multi-layer coverings to make sure optimum efficiency in all photography situations. The new BBAR coverings increases the light transmission factors in both the lengthy and short wave length varies, a condition that was thought not compatible with traditional anti-reflection covering technology. Moreover, Tamron utilizes inner surface coverings (coatings on encapsulated surfaces of lens elements) for sharpness, great shade reproduction efficiency and superior shade stability.
Mechanical Features
Lightweight and lightweight macro lens boasts F/2.0 quick highest possible aperture
In purchase to avoid the lens from becoming bulky due to the quick F/2.0 highest possible aperture, Tamron’s technical engineers thoroughly analyzed the inner designs of traditional macro contacts and improved the accuracy of perfection components by mixing Tamron’s gathered technical technological innovation techniques. Through the career of perfection injection-molded technological innovation plastic parts with great reliability, Tamron noticed a lightweight body that measures only 73mm ( 2.9in.) in its highest possible size and weighs a mere 400g (14.1oz.).
Internal concentrating program for enhanced ease of use
The lens utilizes an inner concentrating (IF) program without changing the overall duration of the lens due to concentrating. Since the top side number of the lens does not extend, the lens is particularly simple to use in near concentrating varies. Tamron has noticed the important range of 100mm, the lengthiest range among contacts in this class******. The inner concentrating program combined with new visual solutions to realize this more time operating range allows the customer have fun with macro electronic photography comfortably while keeping an adequate range from topics.
Full-time guide management mechanism
Delicate concentrating management is essential in macro electronic photography. The lens has a full-time guide management procedure that allows the customer to personally adjust concentrate without engaging the AF/MF switch-over button, even when in the auto-focus mode. Moreover, the lens utilizes a huge concentrate management ring to make sure a solid grip and precise management when personally concentrating.
Simple and eye-catching external design
The lens utilizes a new external style that is more refined and better in its overall shapes by minimizing concavity, convexity and variations in its profile to match various electronic SLR electronic cameras. The lens gun barrel functions a sensitive flat finish, which increases the top high quality appearance of the lens.
Tamron’s conversion value is 1.55X.
Di II contacts are designed only for use with electronic SLR electronic cameras equipped with APS-C dimension picture receptors and employ an visual program optimized for the characteristics of those camcorders. Di II contacts are not designed for use with Negatives film electronic cameras or electronic SLR electronic cameras with picture receptors larger than 24 x 16mm.
