Enhanced Optical Performance

Every aspect of the SP 70-200mm F/2.8 G2 zoom lens has been improved, providing superior image quality and an enhanced bokeh effect. The optical design includes XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) elements to minimise chromatic aberrations across the entire zoom range. This ensures optimal resolution and clarity, even at the edges of the frame. Additionally, Tamron's exclusive eBAND Coating greatly reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring high-contrast images even in challenging lighting conditions.

Fast and Accurate Autofocus

The USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) ring-type motor, paired with two high-performance microcomputers, delivers exceptionally fast and precise autofocus. A full-time manual focus override allows photographers to make fine adjustments without switching out of AF mode.

Advanced Vibration Compensation

Tamron’s industry-leading VC (Vibration Compensation) system provides up to 5 stops of stabilisation (CIPA standard). The lens features three distinct VC modes, including one optimised for panning, allowing photographers to adapt to different shooting conditions for sharp, blur-free images.

Weather-Sealed Construction for Durability

Built for demanding outdoor use, the lens features moisture-proof and dust-resistant construction. Special seals at key points prevent the intrusion of dust and water, offering enhanced protection in harsh environments.

Fluorine Coating for Easy Maintenance

The front lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that repels water and oil, making it easier to clean and resistant to smudges, dirt, and dust.

Electromagnetic Diaphragm System

An advanced electromagnetic diaphragm system ensures precise aperture control. This feature, standard on Canon-mount lenses, has also been implemented in Nikon-mount versions for improved exposure accuracy.

Ergonomic Design and Improved Handling

Tamron has incorporated a new textured grip and an Arca-Swiss compatible tripod interface for enhanced usability. The lightweight magnesium tripod mount makes handling more comfortable while maintaining stability.

The Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 G2 is a must-have telephoto zoom lens for photographers seeking professional image quality, high-speed autofocus, and outstanding stabilisation in a durable and lightweight package.
