Tamron has postponed development of their 28-300mm lens for the Canon mount, blaming a “technical problem in a part of the VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism”. The Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC lens was expected to be available on August 29th in Japan. A new release date has yet to be announced by the company.

We have been working toward releasing the Canon mount for AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC zoom lens on August 29 (release date in Japan) as already announced. Unfortunately, we are obliged to postpone the release of the product because we have found a technical problem in a part of the VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism.

To everyone who has looked for the new product and been interested in it, we wish to express our deepest apologies for the delay.

We will inform you of the revised release date as soon as we know when it will be.

We are doing our utmost to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
