    Hossein Farmani, Founder of the Lucie Technical Awards, commented, “This evening we announced the 19 winners of the coveted Lucie Technical Awards from a roster of 101 finalists representing 52 companies. Our jury of experts selected these winners as the most innovative and successful additions to the photographic world’s toolkit.”

    “Medium Range Zoom Lenses go beyond the normal angle of human vision. Offering both a wider and closer look at a scene, they are far more versatile than the normal prime lens and are the most popular category of lens purchased at the same time as a camera,” commented Bob Rose, Photo+ Editor-at-Large and Lucie Technical Awards Advisory Board Member during his presentation of the Best Medium Range Zoom Lens category finalists.

    “This award validates the state-of-the-art optical and mechanical engineering that has gone into this lens to make it a world class zoom desired by photographers and a quintessential lens for photographing subject matter ranging from portraits and weddings to landscapes, travel and more,” stated Gregg Maniaci, President and CEO of Tamron USA who accepted the award on behalf of the whole Tamron group.
