Manufacturer description: The Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is a high quality, highly functional, high-speed standard zoom lens. 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) elements. Tamron has minimized all types of chromatic aberration in this lens 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 lens'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 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. Capture the finest details of your images in precisely the way you have always wanted to.
