StandardDescription
This Tamron lens was a popular budget-friendly telephoto zoom during the transition from film to digital. The "LD" stands for Low Dispersion glass, which helps combat chromatic aberration (color fringing), and the "Tele-Macro" designation indicates its ability to focus relatively closely ($1:3.9$ ratio) for a lens of this focal range. This specific unit features the Minolta/Sony A-mount, making it a perfect functional match for the Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D we just cataloged. Like many lenses of this era, the rubber zoom and focus grips have taken on a slightly "ashy" or white cast due to the blooming of the rubber compounds over time, though this is purely cosmetic.Category
