Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (Fujifilm X)
This lens is engineered to be a workhorse for Fujifilm users, blending Tamron’s advanced stabilization technology with a fast aperture that excels in portraiture, travel, and low-light street photography.
Constant f/2.8 Performance and Optics
Bright f/2.8 Aperture: The maximum aperture remains constant throughout the entire zoom range, providing consistent exposure and excellent control over background blur (bokeh).
Advanced Lens Elements: Features two molded glass aspherical elements and two Low Dispersion (LD) elements to correct distortions and color fringing, ensuring high sharpness and color accuracy from edge to edge.
BBAR Coating: Tamron’s Broad-Band Anti-Reflection coating suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, maintaining high contrast even when shooting in backlit conditions.
9-Blade Diaphragm: A rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces smooth, circular out-of-focus highlights for a professional look in portraits.
Stability and Precision Focus
VC Image Stabilization: Equipped with Tamron’s Vibration Compensation (VC) system, which significantly reduces camera shake. This is vital for Fujifilm bodies without in-body stabilization, allowing for sharp handheld shots and steady video in dim light.
RXD Stepping Motor: The Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive (RXD) provides quick, smooth, and near-silent autofocus. Its quiet operation is perfect for wedding ceremonies and video recording.
Macro-Style Close-Up: Offers an impressive minimum focusing distance of just 7.5 inches, allowing you to capture intricate close-up details with a 1:4.8 maximum magnification.
Durable Design for the Field
Weather-Sealed Build: Features moisture-resistant construction with specialized seals to protect the lens when shooting in inclement weather.
Fluorine Front Coating: The front element is treated with a protective fluorine compound that repels water and oil, making it easy to clean off fingerprints and dust.
Tactile Handling: Designed to be well-balanced on Fujifilm’s compact mirrorless bodies, providing a professional feel without excessive weight.
