TAMRON USA ANNOUNCES MOBILE LEARNING CENTER 2016 TOUR 

3rd Annual Tour Adds Hands-On Shooting Experience at Every Stop

March 31, 2016, Commack, New York - Tamron USA announced today that its new Mobile Learning Center Tour will commence April 14th in Fairfield, NJ. The new fully-equipped and customized Tamron vehicle will travel around the USA through December 2016, making over 70 official stops at authorized Tamron retailers. Tamron upped its game with the 2016 tour, designing it to provide attendees at dealer locations with free 45-minute seminars followed by live shooting opportunities where techniques learned at the seminars can be put to the test using Tamron lenses. Several tour stops will follow a different model and provide a traditional seminar followed by next-day in-the-field shooting at a cost for attendees.

The Tamron Tailgate Tour, launched in 2013, took a casual and fun approach to photography education by offering easy and free access to great information to anyone interested in photography at stops in photo retailer parking lots. The 2016 Mobile learning Center moves the concept forward by integrating live shoots thematically tied into each free seminar. For more information and to find out when the Tamron Mobile Learning Center will make a tour stop  in your area, visit www.tamron-usa.com/TMLC.

Free Hands-On Photographic Instruction

The Tamron Mobile Learning Center will work with local photo retailers to deliver this unique learning experience. The Tamron vehicle will pull into the parking lot and set up for a full day of education to help people with their photography questions, see the latest in Tamron products, and provide valuable tips and tricks on subjects attendees frequently photograph. Each day will feature team members leading free seminars under the Tamron Mobile Learning Tent - "Travel & Nature Techniques," "The Art of Macro," and "Light Like a Pro." Attendees are encouraged to bring their cameras so that after each seminar, they can try out Tamron lenses on subjects such as birds of prey or other animals brought to the event by local conservationists and sanctuaries that offer educational outreach for better understanding of wildlife; small objects hand-selected to provide attendees with interesting subject-matter for stunning macro images; and models posing in several lighting conditions for better understanding of shooting under various types of light. There is no need to register at most locations and all seminars and shooting are free for every attendee. The tour stop and schedule can be seen at www.tamron-usa.com/TMLC.

About Tamron

Among its many optical and mechanical innovations since the founding of the company in 1950, Tamron's development of mass-produced hybrid Aspherical elements in 1992 paved the way for today's compact high power All-In-One™ lenses. Tamron continues to lead in this category of lenses with the 16-300mm Di II VC PZD Macro - the world's widest All-In-One™ zoom lens at 18.8X range starting at an unprecedented 16mm true wideangle. This compact and versatile lens features Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) system for blur-free hand-held shooting of photos in low light and at telephoto settings, PZD (Piezo Drive) autofocus system for fast and quiet autofocus operation, and macro capability. Tamron's recent SP (Super performance) lens introductions have received accolades and high praise from leading photographic magazines and websites for their outstanding best-in-class performance. The redefining of the SP series has resulted in the launch of four prime lenses-SP 35mm F/1.8 Di VC USD and  SP 45mm F/1.8 Di VC USD in September 2015 and SP  85mm F/1.8 Di VC USD in March 2016 as well as a new SP 90mm F/2.8 Di VC USD in March 2016-that are designed to meet the requirements of today's high pixel-density full-frame DSLR cameras.  Tamron has garnered international acclaim for its extensive line-up of professional and consumer lenses.
