Tamron 70-200 mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD

Lens TAMRON 70-200 mm f/2.8 VC

1. A special XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) glass ^*5 in combination with four LD (Low Dispersion) elements minimizes chromatic aberration. This, combined with a new optical design that offers high contrast and resolution throughout the zoom range, achieves advanced image quality.
2. Advanced multi-layer coating technology from TAMRON dramatically improves lens performance by reducing flare and ghosting effects, creating sharper images.
3. Circular diaphragm ^*6 allows the photographer to perform dramatic out-of-focus effects, offering a maximum expression effect that is only achieved with a high-speed telezoom lens.
4. The most compact* full-frame high-speed telezoom lens with VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilizer and USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) in its class offers mobility superior, allowing photographers to capture what was previously inaccessible.

5. The USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) function drives fast and quiet AF operation along with a continuous manual focus mechanism.
6. VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization mechanism reduces camera shake for sharper images.
7. Dust-resistant construction helps prevent dirt from entering the lens.

^*2 VC (Vibration Compensation) is an image stabilization mechanism patented by TAMRON.
^*3 USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) is an ultrasonic motor patented by TAMRON.
^*4 The SONY mount does not include VC, as digital camera bodies SONY already have that functionality built in. The lens for SONY is called "SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di USD".
^*5 The XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) lens is made of a special high-gradation glass , which provides higher chromatic aberration correction properties than LD (Low Dispersion) elements.
^*6 This diaphragm retains a nearly circular shape even two levels below its maximum aperture state.
