Tamron Educational Pricing

Tamron is committed to photo education.
For many years Tamron has worked to find new ways to lower the cost of providing our internationally awarded lenses to educators and students of media and photography. And as always, we continue to examine how we can do more to advance the cause of photographic education.

Traditionally, we have provided consumers in general and educators and students in particular, with several key advantages over competitive lens makers.

1- We relied on our superior optical quality supported by independent laboratory tests and reports which conclusively show that our professional products provide greater enlargeability than the camera makers while maintaining excellent contrast, sharpness and edge to edge illumination.
2- We offered our lenses at prices that have been typically 30-50% LESS than the OEM’s closest models, in spite of the better quality, believing that everyone, but particularly students would be able to grow faster if they could acquire better tools more cheaply.
3- Then, we provided educators and students with additional discounts in the form of bonus rebates to make the price more attractive.
4- We continue to advance and enhance lens design and build lenses with a greater range of functionality than any other maker.
5- For over 30 years we have supported our lenses with longer warranties than any of the camera companies on all of our products.
6-We have committed corporately to the most stringent environmental sustainability and preservation technologies (being recognized as ISO 14000 compliant) and quality control standards (being ISO 9000 compliant).

We currently have over 1,000 schools where the extra benefits are available to the faculty and students in the qualifying departments.

And still, we wanted to do more!
So, today, we break exciting new ground in two ways.
1- We are making many more of our international award winning lenses available under our Educational Purchase Plan. Many of the models have never before been offered at extra discounts. You asked for it and now you have it!
2- We are cutting prices to education again: making the EPP extra discounts available to educators and students dramatically deeper, driving down the cost of world class optics to prices not seen since the 1980s. (And none of these fabulous lenses could even have been made back then.)

Here are the exceptional prices we are providing specifically to educators and students in qualifying disciplines:
