Lens Overview
Expand your image of fast telephoto shooting
The TAMRON SP 70-200mm F2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A025) telephoto lens delivers exceptional optical performance, making it a top choice for professional photographers. Its advanced 5-stop VC (Vibration Compensation) ensures stable, blur-free images, even in low light or at slower shutter speeds. The lens features fast and accurate autofocus, driven by an upgraded USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor, which is ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects. Despite its high performance, it remains the lightest and most compact lens in its category, making it highly portable and suitable for a variety of shooting situations, from sports and wildlife to portraits and events.
A Versatile Powerhouse for Every Photographer
The TAMRON SP 70-200mm F2.8 G2 is a versatile and high-performance lens, ideal for various photographic scenarios. It excels in portrait photography with beautiful subject isolation and pleasing bokeh. Its fast autofocus and vibration compensation make it perfect for capturing fast-moving subjects in sports and action photography.
Wildlife photographers will appreciate its reach and quick focus, while event photographers can capture candid moments from a distance. The lens's ability to handle close-up shots adds versatility for detailed subjects like flowers and food. Additionally, landscape photographers can use its telephoto range to create striking compositions, making it a valuable all-around lens.
High resolution meets beautiful bokeh
TAMRON’s SP 70-200mm G2 zoom provides high image quality and enhanced bokeh throughout the zoom range. Optical design features include XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) glass to eliminate chromatic aberrations across the entire zoom range, ensuring optimum resolution— even at the edges. eBAND Coating designed exclusively for this new zoom offers superior anti- reflection properties, greatly minimizing flare and ghosting. And refined bokeh provides spectacular background effects from nearly any angle.
Close Focusing with 0.95m (37.4"") MOD
With a Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 0.95m (37.4″”), the lens offers a maximum magnification ratio of 1:6.1, allowing you to capture detailed close-up shots with remarkable clarity. This short MOD, combined with the lens’s exceptional optical performance, opens up a world of creative possibilities, enabling you to explore new perspectives and express your vision with precision. Whether you’re photographing intricate textures, delicate details, or small subjects, the lens delivers stunning results with depth and nuance.
Accuracy in action
The USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) ring-type motor, along with two high-performance microcomputers, ensures excellent focusing speed and accuracy. The Full-time Manual Focus override allows you to make fine adjustments while using AF, without having to switch from AF to MF mode.
Keep it steady with VC equal to 5 stops
TAMRON’s best-in-class[1] VC image stabilization performance is equivalent to 5 stops[2], according to CIPA standards. Plus, this lens offers a choice of three VC modes, including one exclusively for panning so that you can match the VC mode to your shooting conditions and enjoy sharp, jitter-free handheld shooting—even in low light.
