Low dispersion glass Works with APS-C or Full Frame cameras 1:2 reproduction ratio The Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro is a versatile zoom lens with the ability to function on either a full frame or APS-C DSLR. The low dispersion glass minimises chromatic aberrations, which can appear as purple fringing within an image, and the focal length allows for portrait and action shots to be taken. Within the macro function images can be taken at a 1:2 reproduction ratio, which is half of life size. This makes the Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro capable of highly detailed images of small objects. This lightweight, comparatively compact lens misses out on the Vibration Compensation feature of the newer version, but the lower price makes it an excellent choice for beginners.
