A built-in Digital Signal Processor (DSP) on the lens delivers responsive and accurate autofocus performance which allows photographers to track fast-moving subjects at high speed. The Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) motor ensures that the lens focuses fast and quietly.
The Tamron 100-400mm F/4.5-6.3 VC USD also features an enhanced Vibration Compensation (VC) system which delivers up to 4 stops of image stabilization. The system ensures that the lens delivers excellent stability at the long end of the zoom range.
The lens barrel is constructed from magnesium alloy which helps keep the weight of the lens down without compromising the overall integrity. This is ideal for photographers shooting handheld for long periods. The front of the lens has a Fluorine (FL) coating to protect it against the elements when shooting outdoors.
