Second Prize
Tamron 70-300mm Di VC USD Camera Lens
(for Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony APS-C DSLR cameras; $449 value)

Fast becoming a benchmark for this category, the SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di VC is an ideal choice for a two-zoom system—complimenting a wide-to-moderate-tele zoom perfectly. Delivering class-leading sharpness, brilliant color and striking contrast, discriminative APS-C and full-frame digital SLR photographers alike are quick to laud its performance. The first lens to feature Tamron’s USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) auto-focus drive mechanism and VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization, these proprietary technologies are teamed with XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) glass in a 17 element, 12 group formula. Combating blur from camera shake, Tamron VC enables shooting handheld at as many as four shutter speeds slower than would be possible otherwise.
