The SP 150-600mm G2 Ultra-telephoto lens with upgraded optical performance enables handheld shooting with remarkable definition. The new lens builds upon the success of the current SP 150-600mm (model A011) which Tamron first introduced in December 2013, including better overall optical performance and faster AF speed, VC enhancements plus flouring coating and Flex Zoom Lock. This new lens includes three LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements which completely eliminate axial and transverse chromatic aberrations. Anti-reflection technologies, band Coating and BBAR Coating improve light transmission and suppress internal reflections, including light reflected off the camera’s image sensors. So even when taking a backlit photograph, ghosting and flare caused by reflected light are fully eliminated. This lens is equipped with a USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor that delivers excellent responsiveness and control. AF speed is significantly improved and enables high-speed focus even when capturing moving subjects. FLEX ZOOM LOCK mechanism quickly locks or unlocks the zoom at any position simply by sliding the zoom ring. The VC (Vibration Compensation) effectiveness is equivalent to 4.5 stops.

Products not sold by Tamron Authorized USA Dealers in the USA are considered gray market and as such do not qualify for rebates (if applicable), warranty, service or repair of any kind in the USA.

Tamron USA, Inc. will not repair and/or service any product that is not an officially imported product and sold through an Authorized Tamron USA Dealer. In other words, there will be no authorized repair service under any circumstance for gray market products, including but not limited to any available firmware updates. Due to the proprietary technology incorporated in Tamron lenses, specific factory calibrated equipment is required to service many of our lenses and therefore Tamron USA, Inc. does not authorize any third party service center to repair and/or service Tamron products. Tamron USA, Inc. maintains a 3-day turnaround for all Tamron USA products sent in for service.

Furthermore, third party warranties are not serviced through Tamron USA, Inc. and are therefore invalid in that they are not able to offer service for these lenses for the reasons stated above. Only Tamron USA lenses purchased from an Tamron Authorized USA Dealer come with a 6 Year USA Factory Warranty (see http://www.tamron-usa.com/support/warranty_statement.pdf ), the only warranty that is valid for service in the USA.

CAUTION WHEN PURCHASING ON THE INTERNET: Some major shopping websites employ third party sellers to enrich their offerings. Therefore, purchases made on a specific website may NOT be sold, shipped, or even supplied by that website, but rather by a third party marketplace seller that may or may not be a Tamron Authorized USA Dealer - even though that website itself may be listed as a Tamron Authorized USA Dealer. If purchasing through a website listed as a Tamron Authorized USA Dealer, please verify that the product itself is being sold and shipped directly by that website or, if not, sold and supplied by a seller that is listed as a Tamron Authorized USA Dealer.
