Tamron Patents - 300mm f/4, 400mm f/4, 500mm f/4 Lens



Tamron is the lesser known third party lens manufacturer in addition to Sigma. They are trying to enter the Super Telephoto lens market by coming out with their version of the big white Canon 'L' lens.

Three different optical formulas have been uncovered in the same patent application from Tamron. I have never been enamored of Tamron lenses but am willing to take a look at these glasses when they come to market.

I am waiting for the Canon EF 600mm f/4 DO BR lens to be announced this year. I own the EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II lens but it is a bit short sometimes with a full frame camera like the EOS-1D X Mark II and a 600mm f/4 will fit my needs perfectly. I will be off on an East Africa wildlife photo shoot very soon. You can follow my travels on Facebook  and Twitter , see my equipment bag and works on MichaelDanielHo.com
