SP AF300mm F/2.8 LD (IF)
Model 360E

SP - Special PerformanceLD - Low DispersionIF - Internal Focusing

Tamron's fast telephoto SP AF300mm F/2.8 LD (IF) delivers the remarkable and exacting performance demanded by professionals, with the following features:

  • Two large LD (Low Dispersion) elements in the front lens group provide high contrast and crystal-clear image quality from the full open aperture. Internal Focusing maintains optimum holding balance since the lens' overall length remains constant during focusing.
  • The Floating Focusing System improves optical performance especially at close shooting distances.
  • Nine specially-shaped aperture blades form a nearly perfect circle to create excellent background blur for outdoor portraits.
  • The true value of this lens is apparent when photographing sports action, low-light theatre performances, and wildlife.

Changeover mechanism for focusing ring
Switching between AF and MF is easily accomplished by sliding the focus ring back and forth. Manual focus is smooth and precise with the focusing ring.

NEW! The Canon version provides an easy-to-use AF/MF focusing ring, rear filter insertion frame that is compatible with the standard accessory circular polarising filter and with the ring rotation capability from outside the lens, and detachable tripod mounting stand.
