Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens Announced

September 21, 2017 By Eric Reagan

Last week, Tamron announced a new telephoto zoom lens with a long reach. The Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens will be available for Nikon and Canon mounts later this year.

Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens Key Features

  • Maximum Aperture Range: f/4.5-6.3
  • Three Low Dispersion Elements
  • eBAND and Fluorine Coatings
  • Ultrasonic Silent Drive Autofocus Motor
  • VC Image Stabilization
  • Dust and Moisture-Resistant Construction
  • Compatible with TAP-in Console
  • Weighs 2.45 lbs

The new Tamron lens is designed to be lighter and smaller than other 100-400mm and similar options in this range. However, the downside is the rather slow f/4.5-6.3 max aperture throughout the zoom range. Still, assuming the price is right, it should make a solid daylight sports and budget wildlife option a wide range of enthusiast photographers.

You can find out more about the Tamron 100-400mm lens here at B&H Photo.
