TAMRON zooms to new record

Optics maker TAMRON says it's developed an interchangeable lens for digital SLR cameras that sets the record for zoom: 15x, ranging from 18mm to 270mm. That's ultra-wide-angle to powerful telephoto capability, in one lens. The "AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 DiII VC LD Aspherical [IF] MACRO (Model B003)" (possibly a record-holder for product name length) is 101mm long, weighs 550g, and incorporates auto-focus and "VC (Vibration Compensation)" image stabilization. Alas, TAMRON hasn't announced a release date or price yet.
