Product Description

The Tamron AF Tele Macro 100-300mm f/5-6.3 Lens for Minolta AF is a versatile telephoto zoom lens designed for Minolta AF cameras, offering a 100-300mm focal-length range with a variable maximum aperture of f/5 to f/6.3. The lens features autofocus operation and a built-in Tele Macro function that provides a close-focusing distance of approximately 1.5 meters, with a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:4 at the 300mm setting. Its 100-300mm zoom range allows the photographer to adjust framing without changing lenses, while the longer 300mm setting provides increased subject magnification and a narrower angle of view. The lens uses a Minolta AF mount and features a 55mm front filter thread for compatible filters and accessories. Its aperture range extends to f/32, providing additional manual exposure control when the lens is used with compatible camera bodies. The optical design incorporates multiple elements arranged to provide telephoto zoom coverage while maintaining a relatively compact form compared with many longer focal-length lenses. The lens has an angle of view ranging from approximately 24.5 degrees at 100mm to 8 degrees at 300mm. The Tele Macro mechanism can be engaged at the long end of the zoom range, allowing the lens to focus more closely than its standard focusing range. Autofocus operation is controlled through the compatible Minolta camera body, while focusing and zooming are performed through the lens controls.
