Key Features & Benefits
- Revolutionary f/2–2.8 Variable Aperture: Seamlessly transition from an ultra-bright f/2 aperture at 35mm to a fast f/2.8 at the telephoto end. Experience incredible low-light performance and creamy, smooth bokeh that rivals traditional high-end prime lenses.
- VXD Linear Motor Autofocus: Driven by Tamron’s Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive (VXD), the autofocus system delivers lightning-fast, highly accurate tracking. The motor operates near-silently, making it ideal for both high-stakes action photography and professional video production.
- Superior High-Resolution Optics: The advanced optical configuration features 21 elements in 15 groups. Incorporating 4 Low Dispersion (LD) and 3 Glass Molded Aspherical (GM) elements, it effectively controls aberrations to deliver razor-sharp details from center to corner—perfectly matching high-resolution sensors like the Nikon Z8 and Z9.
- Tamron Lens Utility Customization: Expand your workflow efficiency via a built-in USB-C port on the lens body. Connect directly to your computer to customize focus-set buttons, assign preset focus points, reverse focus ring directions, or update firmware directly without a camera body.
- All-Weather Performance: Built for the rugged Kenyan terrain, the lens features comprehensive moisture-resistant construction with weather seals placed at all critical entry points. The front element is treated with a protective Fluorine Coating to repel dust, water, oil, and fingerprints.
