1.High level of optical performance that offers 3 mega-pixel compatibility
- The use of an aspherical element, XLD (Extra Low Dispersion)* lens, and advanced optical design technology delivers high image quality that is compatible with 3 mega-pixel cameras. This image quality is of a level that exceeds Full HD 1080p.
- Delivers F/1.6 (Wide) and F/2.0 (Tele) levels of brightness.
2. Delivers mega-pixel image quality, even during NIR shooting
- Existing lenses generally provide lower image quality under near-IR light conditions than under visible light conditions. Tamron believes that if using "Night Mode" results in lower image quality, there will not be much point in installing mega-pixel class cameras. This lens maintains 3 mega-pixel image quality from the visible to near-IR spectrums, which allows shooting video footage without the associated decrease in image quality when the camera is switched to "Night Mode". This lens heralds a new era for IR compatible mega-pixel lenses.
3. 8-50 mm that covers standard telescopic ranges
- The telephoto type mega-pixel IR series covers the most frequently used focal ranges, from 8 mm to 50 mm.
4. Wide image circle that is compatible with 1/2.8" and 1/2.7" format sensors
- 1/2.8"- and 1/2.7"-format compatibility means the lens can be installed in cameras with large sensor sizes.
