Product Description
Digitally Integrated Design, is a designation Tamron puts on lenses featuring optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras. This lens employs an IF (Internal Focusing) system that maintains the overall length of the lens during focusing. It uses two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements that effectively compensate for chromatic aberration. Providing high-contrast, outstanding image quality and a soft out-of-focus background effect it incorporates an AF/MF one touch switchover mechanism built into the focus ring (for Canon & Nikon only). Super performance series provides high performance through outstanding design specifications. The lens features the new FEC (Filter Effect Control) function that enhances operational ease of Polarizing Filter use. The new Filter Effect Control is designed to rotate the filter to the desired position while the hood is attached. This is accomplished by turning the FEC ring that in turn rotates the portion of the filter mount where the filter is mounted.

Customer Reviews
Such a shame (2009-11-13)
Image quality is just astounding. I love the pics I took with this lens.
When I purchased the lens I realized that the focus was a little forward, but as it's a macro I'd only be using manual focus.
All was going well until it started to auto focus when both the camera and the lens were in manual focus mode.
I have returned it today and miss it already.
