Tamron introduces two prototype zoom lens models designed for true Far-Infra Red Imaging with its proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) system built in, the very first in the industry. The two zooms include a 14–40 mm and 35–105 mm, addressing the needs for both wide-angle and telephoto coverage with versatility in use with a 3X zoom ratio.

Integration of the VC feature certainly enhances practical values, delivering crisp IR images without the blurring caused by camera vibration. “Expansion of Tamron’s product portfolio to the true far-infrared zone, stretching out to 14,000 nm wavelength range is a quantum leap in a sense,” stated Mr. Morio Ono, president & CEO, “but this is in line with our corporate management direction to bring new imaging solutions to a whole variety of industries, and a departure from optics for visible ray.”
