Tamron Camera Lenses
Interchangeable Tamron Lenses: A Cut Above the Competition
WIth a current reputation for crafting specification camera pieces designed for the modern photographer, Tamron pursues quality engineering in every new product they create. But these award-winning lens makers didn't start out with photography in mind—in fact, they began with a staff of only 13 employees. Tamron began as Taisei Optical Equipment Manufacturing in the city of Saitama, Japan, where they started with a subcontracting business polishing and creating binocular eyepieces. Over 70 years later, their customers are seeing farther and better than ever before thanks to the technology they spearheaded for SLR cameras.
They've come far since their first set of binoculars, and their current portfolio is stocked with all the Tamron lenses a professional or amateur photographer might need. And unlike other camera companies in Japan, they never jockeyed for place between other entrepreneurial businesses like Nikon. Instead, they created their own niche and specialized only in lenses by Tamron. With less pressure to compete, they were able to create everything they wanted to.

Build Your Own Starter Kit
If you're just getting into the world of picture-taking, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available. Numbers, fractions, unfamiliar terms and products that look the same can make it hard to understand what you're even looking for, or how to get started with amateur or professional photography. For an easy-to-understand guide to Tamron lenses, check out our Digital Camera Buying Guide.
Whether you're completely new to shooting photos or are just getting back into an old hobby, there are a few eyepieces that every DSLR owner should bring with them anywhere. You'll want to have at least one 35-50 mm normal version in your camera bag. These do a good job replicating the human eye's type of vision, and are often the type that seasoned veterans reach for first. For added flexibility, keep an eye out for a normal version that can zoom in. These models are great for photographing people or nearby animals and can zoom in and out to capture expressions.
Expand with Specialized Accessories
Those who snap pictures for a living might not be impressed by a simple zooming model. You want that camera bag packed with everything you'll ever need to capture the moment. Make sure you're well equipped to hike through the Alaskan wilderness in search of unbeatable landscapes or find a wide-angle model for extra-broad shots of skylines or group photos. Whatever your dream shot is, find the gear you need to capture it with Tamron lenses from Abt.
