Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC USD Lens for Canon

The Tamron SP 24-70mm USD lens is a high grade, fast aperture standard zoom lens featuring vibration compensation (image stabilisation), superb optical performance and ultra-fast, quiet focusing.Vibration CompensationThe improved Vibration Compensation system uses three moving coils moving on three steel ball bearings. The moving coil method (as opposed to the earlier moving magnet method) reduces moving weight and so improves response time and therefore the effectiveness of the compensation.Ultrasonic Silent DriveUses the ultrasonic method as opposed to a traditional motor, which allows the use of a continuous manual (override) mechanism and makes focusing ultra fast and quiet.Top-of-class resolutionThe Tamron SP 24-70mm USD lens produces class-leading image quality and this is no accident. It includes three LD (low dispersion) elements, three glass-moulded aspherical elements, one hybrid aspherical lens and two XR (Extra Refractive Index) glasses to both cut down on aberrations (inaccuracies and distortions) and improve compactness.Additional FeaturesRounded Diaphragm for great soft background “bokeh” on studies and portraitsf/2.8 maximum aperture for both low light and control over depth of fieldSuitable for both 35mm and APS-C frame sizesMoisture ResistantVisit Tamron's interactive site for more information on focal length and depth of fieldIncludes a 5 year Manufacturer’s warrantyAdditional Specifications(Main specs under Features tab)Lens Construction: 17 Elements in 12 GroupsAngle of View (35mm format): 84°4’ – 34°21’Angle of View (APS-C format): 60°20’ – 22°33’Closest Focus: 0.38m (15”, 1:5 at 70mm focal length)Diaphragm Blades: 9 (rounded)Minimum Aperture: f/22Included Accessories: Petal Hood
