Tamron A17 AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Lens

With this 70 to 300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification ratio of 1and 2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4 inches, enabling close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens. Moreover, this is a zoom lens that casually offers the distant capture and foreshortening effect pleasures of the 300mm ultra-telephoto world.
