Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD Lens (Canon)

Wide to ultra telephoto 18-400mm 22x zoom

Thanks to a wide 22x zoom range, the Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD lens can capture anything from wide landscapes, narrow portraits, or distant wildlife. Tamron is the first lens manufacturer to achieve this zoom range, previously superzoom's only managed 18-300mm.

Special lens elements

The optical construction of the Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD Lens consists of 16 lens elements in 11 groups.

These elements effectively reduces aberrations, including chromatic aberrations and distortion, thereby assuring outstanding image quality. Optimum power distribution among the individual lens element groups achieves both the optical performance and the compact size necessary for an ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom lens that boasts 400mm focal length.
