Page 3 of 3 4. Minimum Focus Distance of 0.24m (9.4) Across Zoom Range Because a close-focusing capability is essential in wide-angle photography, Tamron engineered a 0.24m (9.4) minimum focus distance across the zoom range. This capability gives the user freedom to create images with an exaggerated perspective at the 10mm ultra wide-angle end and shoot with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5 at the 24mm semi-wide-angle setting, the largest magnification ratio in its class. 5. Flower-shaped Lens Hood Is a Standard Accessory A glare-reducing, flower-shaped lens hood is included as a standard accessory. The special hood provides optimum shading of light rays that enter from the rectangular frame outside the image field. 6. New External Design Expressing State-of-the-Art Ultra Wide-angle Zoom Lens in the Digital Era The new zoom lens features a refined exterior design that eliminates unevenness in the lens body and enhances its uniformity and smoothness, matching the designs of current digital SLRs. The metallic finish of the gold band on Tamron lenses makes it stand out as a Di II lens, and the layout of alphanumeric markings, including the TAMRON logo in the center of the control ring, has been improved for greater visibility. Exquisite black mat finish is applied to the black paint over the lens barrel for improved quality appearance. The rubber patterns on the zoom and focus rings have been enhanced to compliment todays digital camera design style and ensure better handling.
