August 15, 2017, Commack, New York – Tamron USA has announced that the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) presented its EISA Awards 2017-2018 to two Tamron lenses; SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (Model A022) for “EISA DSLR ZOOM LENS 2017-2018” and 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD (Model B028) for “EISA PHOTO INNOVATION 2017-2018.”
The SP 150-600mm Di VC USD G2 (Model A022) is the evolutionary second version of the globally acclaimed Model A011. Model A022 also received the 2017 TIPA Award for BEST DSLR TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENS, making this a double title achievement. Additionally, the 18-400mm Di II VC HLD (Model B028) lens, the world’s first* ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom lens for APS-C DSLR cameras to achieve a focal length range of 18-400mm and a 22.2x zoom ratio, won in the PHOTO INNOVATION category — a first for Tamron — in recognition of its outstanding innovation.

SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (Model A022)
“EISA DSLR ZOOM LENS 2017-2018”
The second generation (hence ‘G2’) of Tamron’s SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD ultra-telephoto zoom lens makes an attractive lens even better. The speed and accuracy of the autofocus system have been improved, as has the effectiveness of the built-in VC (Vibration Compensation) system. A ‘Flex Zoom Lock’ mechanism keeps the lens barrel fixed at any chosen focal length. The Fluorine Coating and Moisture-Resistant Construction make the lens less vulnerable to dirt, dust and moisture. The optional TAP-in Console allows the owner to easily update the firmware as well as customize features including fine adjustments to the autofocus and Vibration Compensation.18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD (Model B028)
“EISA PHOTO INNOVATION 2017-2018”
The Tamron 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD challenges our preconceptions about what we can expect from a super zoom lens. In addition to offering the broadest zoom range of any interchangeable lens in the world, at 22.2x, it also includes an effective image stabilization system to improve sharpness at lower shutter speeds, and weather resistant seals to allow users to keep shooting even in adverse weather conditions. Although especially suited to travel, safari and sports photographers, the Tamron 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD will also appeal to any photographer looking for a single lens solution to cover all their shooting needs.ABOUT THE EISA AWARD:

Among its many optical and mechanical innovations since the founding of the company in 1950, Tamron’s development of mass-produced hybrid Aspherical elements in 1992 paved the way for today’s compact high power All-In-One™ lenses. Tamron continues to lead in this category of lenses with the 16-300mm Di II VC PZD Macro – the world’s widest All-In-One™ zoom lens at 18.8X range starting at an unprecedented 16mm true wideangle. This compact and versatile lens features Tamron’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) system for blur-free hand-held shooting of photos in low light and at telephoto settings, PZD (Piezo Drive) autofocus system for fast and quiet autofocus operation, and macro capability. Tamron’s recent SP (Super Performance) lens introductions have received accolades and high praise from leading photographic magazines and websites for their outstanding best-in-class performance. The redefining of the SP series has resulted in the launch of four prime lenses thus far-SP 35mm F/1.8 Di VC USD, SP 45mm F/1.8 Di VC USD, SP 85mm F/1.8 Di VC USD and SP 90mm F/2.8 Di VC USD- as well as the ultra-telephoto SP 150-600mm Di VC USD G2 and the new SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2. All are designed to meet the requirements of today’s high pixel-density full-frame DSLR cameras.
