Tamron Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Saitama City; President: Morio Ono) announced today the Release of two 1/3"-format 2.8-8mm F/1.2 Vari-Focal lenses (Models M13VM288IR / M13VG288IR) that are compatible with 3-Mega-pixel-Day/Night cameras and deliver full high-definition 1080p images over the entire focal length range, both in visible and near-infrared light ranges.

As a result of the rising demand for higher image quality in security systems, requirements for higher pixel sensors are increasing. In addition to this trend, the demand for Mega-pixel Day/ Night cameras for night time surveillance is also increasing. To meet the trends and needs of the market, Tamron engineers challenged the themselves to expand the specifications of Mega -pixel camera lenses and have successfully developed two new, state-of-the-art Vari-Focal lenses that are compatible with even 3-Mega -pixel-resolution systems and at the same time correcting the shift in focus for the Day/ Night function.
