Tamron is a leading manufacturer of single-lens reflex (SLR) and closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera lenses for both standard and digital cameras. Tamron Co., Ltd.’s optics manufacturer has a sales subsidiary in the United States. The company was founded in 1950 in Japan by Takeyuki Arai under the name Taisei Kogaku Kogyo and is now headquartered in Commack, New York. The headquarters and main plant were established in Hasunuma, Omiya-city, a few years later, in 1959. In 1969, the company opened its first branch office in New York.
Tamron’s products are sold by authorized dealers who must display a certified logo on their website or in their store. These dealers can be found via a link on Tamron’s official website. There are a slew of dealers across the United States, as well as online. Check for the certified logo, as buying a lens or closed-circuit TV camera from an unauthorized dealer can void any manufacturer’s warranty.
Tamron sells lenses that can be used with either SLR or digital SLR cameras (DSLR). All-in-one zoom lenses, fast zoom lenses, wide and telescoping lenses, and macro lenses are among the lenses available for cameras. For various photography needs, a variety of sizes are available. Tamron also sells security cameras, including CCTV lenses and small dome-shaped cameras.
Tamron’s website also has a number of guides and hands-on tests to help customers choose the lens that will best suit their needs. These guides will come in handy if you’ve just bought your first SLR or digital single-lens reflex camera and want to upgrade your lens or try out a new style of photography. Experienced photographers also favor Tamron digital camera lenses.
Tamron is constantly developing new lenses with cutting-edge technology. Some lenses have extra features to make photographing easier, such as Vibration Compensation, a new feature (VC). This helps to prevent camera shake, which occurs when the shutter button is pressed and causes the camera to move slightly, resulting in a blurry photo.
When shopping for a lens for your camera, make sure the lens you’re considering will fit your specific camera. Some lenses are proprietary and only work with the camera’s original manufacturer, while others are interchangeable and work with a wide range of camera brands. Tamron lenses are compatible with Nikon, Canon, Pentax, and Sony cameras, but always double-check the specifications before buying.
