18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD Model B028
Go to extremes with the world’s first* 22.2x ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom.

The world’s first ultra-telephoto
All-in-One zoom lens for the APS-C format
With a focal length range of 18-400mm and 22.2x zoom, it has an ultra-telephoto range equivalent to 620mm in the 35mm format. This brings distant subjects closer, while providing perspective-flattening effects that are only possible with an extreme telephoto lens. Plus it offers exceptional optical performance across the entire zoom range—from wide angle to ultra-telephoto. With this new lens – and its Moisture-Resistant Construction – Tamron brings the art of photography to the joy of travel. Now you can use the same lens to shoot everything from stunning landscapes and neon-lit cities to detailed portraits and delicate flora. The ultra-telephoto range makes it just as easy to photograph animals and sports. And with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9, you can even enjoy tele-macro photography.
* Among interchangeable lenses for DSLR cameras (As of April 2017; Tamron)
Key Features
620mm capability, compact size
Until now, shooting at ultra-telephoto ranges meant carrying large interchangeable lenses. Thanks to the all-in-one zoom technology developed by Tamron, you can travel with a single lens that’s 121.4mm long and weighs only 705g.* Experience the thrill of shooting with compact equipment that makes it easy to capture ultra-telephoto images.
* Length and weight are based on the Nikon-mount lens



Highly precise. Conveniently compact.
Tamron’s exclusive HLD (High/Low torque-modulated Drive) saves power while providing superior drive. It focuses accurately and quietly while adjusting the motor’s rotation from low to high speeds, enabling smooth autofocusing. HLD let us design a space-saving AF module, for a sleeker barrel and reduced overall lens size.
One smooth zoom from extra-wide to super-telephoto.
Our ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom includes an all-new barrel design. By distributing complex movements across no fewer than three cams, Tamron has ensured that all zoom extensions are smooth and easy.
