patronized by society, Tamron also works to support social and cultural activities, hoping
that photography and imaging culture develop and evolve further. |

Tamron directly and indirectly supports the development of
photography and imaging culture as a company nurtured by the culture
of photography.
Support for photographic and imaging culture organizations
Tamron assists in developing photography and imaging
culture and enriching our daily lives as a member of The Tokyo
Metropolitan Museum of Photography, The Photographic Society
of Japan, Japan Professional Photographers Society,and Saitama
(Prefecture) Arts Foundation.
Tamron Bronica Club
Tamron financially supports the Tamron Bronica Club to provide a
place for serious amateur photographers to publish their works in
Tamron Bronica Letter Magazine, while supporting their activities
to share the splendor of art and photographic culture by capturing
natural scenes, regional culture, and human behavior through
events and seminars held by the secretariat at the head office and
regional chapters.
Tamron Macro Lens Photo Contest
Tamron hosts the Macro Lens Photo Contest on a nationwide
basis. This unique contest open to all photographers has one
single and essential condition: to use a macro lens. The 3rd
contest was held in 2006 with 3,209 photographers from all over
Japan competing.
Comments by the winner of the grand-prix award
Tamron’s Macro Lens Photo Contest is a unique contest offering
opportunities to compete with other photographers, publicly
displaying the results of the infinite world of creativity that starts
from looking at subjects through lenses. This is a significant event
for providing a place for serious amateur photographers to publish
their own pictures and also to add to photographic culture. I hope
Tamron will continue to hold this event in the years to come.

Our organization has worked to promote
recycling through our journal since 2000
for promoting volunteering among local
residents. Everyone can collect aluminum
pull-tops at home or the office to donate
money converted from reclaimed pulltops
and assist in purchasing nursing
devices including wheel chairs. We are
trying to promote this among as many
individuals and bodies as possible
since we started participating in the
program years ago. People at Tamron’s
Namioka Factory have made prominent
contributions through the pull-top
recycling program, donating many pull
tops every year. We are impressed by
the consciousness of and desire of the
people at Namioka Factory to contribute
to our local community and environment
through this type of volunteering that
is small but important. Our organization
is eager to promote the formation of a
local community that is environmentally
friendly and wherein people support
each other, through such volunteering
and working with community people and
corporations.
