The AF18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro is a lightweight, compact and ultra high power zoom lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras with APS-C sized imager sensors. It is the ultimate high power zoom boasting the world’s greatest zoom ratio of 13.9X, a milestone that Tamron has achieved by commanding its technologies to further expand the capabilities of high power zoom lenses.

The new zoom lens covers up to a 250mm telephoto focal length, the longest focal length among zoom lenses that start with an 18mm wide angle focal length available on the market for exclusive use with digital SLR camera. Thus, it provides an overwhelmingly impressive telephoto effect that is entirely different from the effect obtainable at 200mm on conventional high power zoom lenses.
