The SP 150-600mm G2 (Generation 2) ultra-telephoto zoom lens with improved optical characteristics provides impressive results. This new lens is a further development of the current SP 150-600mm (model A011), which Tamron introduced for the first time in December 2013. It includes improved overall optical performance, faster autofocus speed, fluoride coating, the newly developed FLEX ZOOM LOCK, and the ability to use teleconverters.

Built from the ground up to strict quality standards and design specifications, the new 150-600mm G2 combines intelligent technology and high performance with craftsmanship, durability, and ease of use.

The SP 150-600mm G2 contains three LD (low dispersion) elements, which almost completely eliminate chromatic aberrations at a very high performance level. The optical construction of the lens consists of 21 elements in 13 groups.

Two special coatings, eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular Dependency) and BBAR (Broad Band Anti-Reflection), guarantee first-class anti-reflection properties. Even when shooting a backlit subject, ghosting and unwanted control light (e.g., night shots) are completely eliminated.

Another improvement of the lens is the enhancement of the Minimum Object Distance (MOD). The shortening to 2.2m opens up completely new possibilities in the field of tele-macro photography.

The 150-600mm G2 is equipped with a USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor, which provides excellent responsiveness and control. The autofocus speed has been significantly improved, enabling precise high-speed focusing for accurate detection of fast and moving objects.
