The Tamron 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD (Model B028), is the world's first ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom for APS-C DSLR cameras. This dramatically wide zoom range is achieved by combining a high-quality optical design and other breakthrough technologies, including an all-new three-step zoom construction.

Since the introduction in 1992 of Tamron AF 28-200mm F/3.8-5.6 Aspherical (Model 71D), Tamron has dominated the all-in-one zoom category and has developed numerous lenses with a zoom range from wide-angle to telephoto. Tamron has now designed an ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom lens with a focal length of up to 400mm (620mm with crop-factor) and a 22.2x zoom range.

Packed in a light compact body, it is yet another perfect example of Tamron's accumulated knowledge and experience in all-in-one zoom lenses, including the most advanced optical and mechanical designs, a High/Low torque-modulated Drive (HLD) for the AF system and the image stabilization system.

Photographers can now enjoy both wide-angle and ultra telephotography with one lens. This lens is ideal for holidays, photo tours, etc. as it eliminates the need to carry extra lenses. The Tamron 18-400mm enables a wide range of ultra-telephoto shots, including everyday snapshots.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
