Lens Overview
TAMRON’s best-in-class, high-speed 24-70mm F2.8 G2 standard zoom lens
The TAMRON SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A032) is a workhorse lens well-suited for a variety of photography needs such as landscape, portrait and event, travel and more. The lens offers a wealth of features and is a high-quality, versatile lens suitable for both amateur and professional photographers looking to capture high-quality images across a wide range of situations. Designed for Canon and Nikon DSLR cameras, the lens adapts seamlessly to mirrorless cameras with the manufacturer adapter.
Dual MPU System Provides Top AF and Stabilization Performance
The TAMRON SP 24-70mm F2.8 G2 (Model A032) high-speed zoom lens for DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras with the manufacturer adapter is crafted to fully leverage the capabilities of the latest high-pixel-density cameras, delivering top-tier image quality through the use of specialized, high-quality glass materials that enhance optical transmittance.
The 24-70mm F2.8 G2 boasts class-leading image stabilization with 5-stop performance. As a premier camera lens manufacturer, TAMRON combines advanced technology, versatility, and exceptional image quality in this user-friendly 24-70mm F2.8 zoom lens, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of photography, from landscapes to portraits.
See the world with new sharpness and clarity
The use of specialized, high quality glass materials that offer greater optical transmittance are used in the 24-70mm F2.8 to ensure superior color reproduction and even greater sharpness. The lens utilizes 17 glass elements in 12 groups, including 2 XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass elements to counteract optical aberrations; 3 LD (Low Dispersion) elements to minimize axial chromatic aberrations that can occur in the telephoto range, as well as transverse chromatic aberrations that can be an issue with wide-angle; 3 GM (glass-molded aspherical) elements; and 1 hybrid aspherical lens element that effectively neutralizes spherical aberrations and distortions to create superior image quality. Thanks to a combination of these special glass materials, the lens achieves previously unseen levels of accurate color reproduction and depictive performance.
Equipped with the dual MPU control system for dramatically improved autofocus accuracy and speed
The 24-70mm F2.8 G2 features a new control system that uses two high-performance MPUs (micro-processing units). The lens is equipped with its own MPU (micro-processor unit), with embedded DSP (digital signal processing) blocks that enable high-speed digital signal processing, achieving both excellent responsiveness to signals from the camera and high-precision AF performance. The result is quicker, more precise AF performance and more consistently powerful VC (Vibration Compensation) with its own dedicated MPU.
The highest vibration compensation (VC) levels in its class*
The VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilizer of the SP 24-70mm G2 lens, like its autofocus, is managed by a Dual Micro processing Unit system. This system employs two high-performance microprocessor units (MPUs). Additionally, a new algorithm has been implemented to further enhance the control and signal processing of the VC system. The VC system offers up to 5-stops of stabilization, making it exceptionally suitable for hand-held shots, even in low-light conditions.

eBAND Coating dramatically curbs ghosting and flare
The 24-70mm F2.8 G2 features TAMRON’s original eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) Coating, a technology that combines an extremely-low-refractive-index nano-structured layer with conventional multiple-layer coating techniques to provide superior anti-reflection performance. The optimal application of this eBAND Coating in combination with TAMRON’s BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating successfully and substantially curbs the ghosting and flare that can occur when photographing backlit subjects.

Lens Tour
Circular Aperture
A 9-blade diaphragm is configured to retain a smooth, circular-shaped aperture opening even when stopped down by two stops from the wide-open aperture. This produces a smooth-edged bokeh in background highlights.

TAMRON TAP-in Console™
The optional TAP-in Console™ provides a USB connection to your personal computer, enabling you to easily update your lens’s firmware as well as customize features including fine adjustments to the AF and VC.
Zoom Lock Switch
The 24-70mm F2.8 VC G2 has a switch that can lock the zoom ring at the 24mm focal length if desired. This prevents the unwanted extension of the lens barrel due to the weight of the lens during transportation.
Moisture-Resistant Construction
For greater protection when shooting outdoors, leak-resistant seals throughout the lens barrel help protect your equipment.
Fluorine Coating
The front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that is water- and oil-repellent. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints.
