Tamron has announced their new development of 70-300mm VC USD, a telephoto zoom lens for Nikon, Canon and Sony digital SLR camera. This lens is high quality lens (SP) and will be significantly better than regular zoom kit lenses.
Tamron 70-300mm VC USD
What interesting is not on the actual lens, but more about the new silent and fast auto focus feature. Tamron calls it USD (Ultra Sonic Drive). This lens will be the first Tamron lens that has this feature.
Tamron has been lagging behind from other lens manufacturer in auto focus technology. All Tamron lenses still rely on old motorized mechanic that make a noticeable noise and not very accurate at times.
This will probably mark the end of the old auto focus mechanic and we can expect more Tamron lens equipped with this feature.
Note: Tamron is a third party lens maker. It is famous for their superzoom lenses.
Specification, Press Release available at Tamron official website.
Price and shipping date is not available at the time I write this post.
