Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD G2 Nikon

Characterized by a suitable focusing speed and image stabilization, the Nikon F-mount SP 24-70 mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD G2 Tamrones a revised standard fast zoom that covers a versatile range from wide angle to long portrait.

A sophisticated optical design with two additional refractive elements, three low dispersion elements, three glass molded aspherical elements and one hybrid aspherical element helps suppress aberrations and distortions across the zoom range, while eBAND and BBAR coatings have been applied to individual elements to control Lens Brightness and Phantom Effect to improve contrast and color fidelity.

In balancing its optical attributes, this lens also uses a USM autofocus engine to deliver remarkably fast, quiet and accurate focusing performance that fits both still images and video applications. In addition, 5-step Vibration Compensation helps minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper manual capture in difficult lighting conditions.

The standard zoom is designed for DSLR with Nikon F-mount FX format, however, it can also be used with DX models where it offers an equivalent focal length range of 36 to 105 mm.

The constant maximum aperture f / 2.8 bright provides constant brightness throughout the zoom range and benefits from working in difficult lighting conditions.

Two XR (extra refraction) and three LD (low dispersion) elements are presented in the optical design to significantly limit color fringes and chromatic aberrations to improve clarity, color fidelity, and apparent sharpness.

Three glass-molded aspherical elements and one hybrid aspherical element help reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion across the zoom range for remarkable sharpness and accurate representation.

Both eBAND and BBAR coatings have been applied to suppress the appearance of ghost images and lens flare for better contrast when working in backlit conditions.

Separate VC modes are also available to suit various shooting styles: Mode 1 is a balanced setting for general use, promoting both a stabilized viewfinder image and stabilized results, while Mode 2 is designed exclusively for panoramic movements.

The Silent Drive ultrasonic autofocus motor offers fast and accurate focusing performance to suit work with moving subjects. This motor also allows full-time manual focusing control, and it is possible to focus subjects at a distance of as little as 1.25'.

A moisture-resistant construction benefits the use of this lens in inclement conditions, and a fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens element to protect against dust, dirt and stains.

The rounded nine-leaf diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.

Compatible with the optional TAP-in console for fine-tuning focus settings and lens firmware update.
