24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD Lens

– Phased Out –

Drawing on the beauty of light

Photographic artists have been waiting for a full-featured, constant-aperture zoom lens. The wait is over. The A007 is a high-quality, highly functional, high-speed standard zoom lens covering the 24‒70mm focal range^*1. It includes both Tamron’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization to reduce shake and its USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor, enabling speedy, silent autofocusing. This SP (Super Performance) series lens makes full use of specialized glass elements in its lens layout, designed with top priority on image quality, including three LD elements and two XR (Extra Refractive Index) glasses. Tamron has minimized all types of chromatic aberration in the A007, making it a lens at the top of its class whether you use it on a digital APS-C, full-frame, or 35mm SLR camera. The A007’s F/2.8 aperture enables a balance between brilliant resolution and beautiful soft blur effects. This ideal lens makes full use of Tamron’s rounded diaphragm^*2 and the uncontrived, artistic blur that it provides. It is also Tamron’s ﬁrst lens to feature our new moisture-resistant construction. Portraits. Landscapes. Studio shoots. This is the lens for them all.

Image stabilization is an integrated function of Sony Alpha-mount DSLRs and would conflict lens-based IS. Therefore, the Tamron VC function is omitted from models manufactured for Sony Alpha-mount DSLRs.
*

*1 With SLR cameras corresponding to APS-C, the angle of view based on 35mm equivalent focal length will range from 37mm to109mm.

*2 This rounded diaphragm retains a nearly circular shape even when taken two stops down from its fully open state.
