Tamron announces new, high-speed zoom lens

Tamron 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD Model A007

Tamron Co., Ltd. has announced the development of the SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A007), a full-size, high-speed standard zoom lens equipped with VC (Vibration Compensation), image stabilization and USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive).

Product Features

1. A full-size, high-speed standard zoom with built-in VC (Vibration Compensation). Even when shooting in low-light conditions with a slow shutter speed to render sharpness, Tamron promises the acclaimed VC allows for stable handheld camera work.

2. The lens uses special high-grade glass in the three LD elements, three glass-molded aspherical lenses, one hybrid aspherical lens and two XR (Extra Refractive Index) glasses. Using a rounded diaphragm, Tamron promises that the lens achieves gorgeous blur effects and retains a nearly circular shape even when taken two stops down from its fully open state.

3. The lens features Tamron proprietary USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) to power a speedy AF drive together with a continuous manual mechanism.

4. The high-speed standard zoom lens has a wide-end focal length of 24mm that expands the photographic area.

5. The lens adopts the new technology including the latest optical design, VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization and USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive), all in a lighter and more compact package.

6. A moisture-resistant construction helps prevent water from penetrating the lens.
