The
Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 DI VC USD G2 is a new generation classic zoom with the latest improvements from the manufacturer. It features a brand new, all-new control system that achieves greater speed and accuracy by carrying its own MPU (microprocessor unit) with DSP (digital signal processing) blocks that are built in to enable high-speed digital signal processing.
This lens uses specialized, high-quality glass materials that ensure accurate color reproduction and superior sharpness, perfect for today's high pixel density cameras. The optical construction (17 elements in 12 groups) uses 2 XR (extra refractive index) elements, 3 LD (low dispersion) elements, 3 GM (glass molded aspherical) elements and a hybrid aspherical lens element. This combination minimizes axial chromatic aberrations, transverse chromatic aberrations, spherical aberrations and distortion, and enables a compact design that achieves superior image quality.
The
Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 features a
stabilizer with dedicated MPU to achieve maximum compensation and make the stabilizer an important and accurate part of the lens assembly. Moving on to the inside of the lens it features Tamron's exclusive
eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency, protective nano-treatment) and
BBAR (Broad Anti-Reflective Coating) coating to try to eliminate ghosting and flare. A nanostructured coating and conventional multi-layer coatings provide superior anti-reflective properties.
The focusing motor is a revolution, called by
Tamron USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive), is a high-power ultrasonic focusing motor for fast and dynamic imaging. On the other hand, it allows a silent and precise manual control at every moment. Something useful that not many manufacturers realize is the accidental loss of the hood, Tamron incorporates a lock that prevents uncoupling due to unintentional contact during use.
