Rent NowTamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Lens (Canon EF Mount)
The Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD is a high-performance, professional-grade standard zoom designed for full-frame Canon cameras. Distinguished as a pioneer in its class, it was the first fast-aperture standard zoom to incorporate an internal image stabilization system. Covering everything from true wide-angle landscapes to flattering short-telephoto portraits, this lens combines elite optical glass with advanced vibration compensation, making it an indispensable tool for wedding, event, and travel photographers.
Elite Optical Construction
Sophisticated Glass Elements: The lens utilizes a complex arrangement of specialized glass, including three Low Dispersion (LD) elements, three glass-molded aspherical lenses, and two Extra Refractive Index (XR) elements. This combination virtually eliminates aberrations to deliver high-resolution clarity and color accuracy.
Constant f/2.8 Aperture: The bright, continuous maximum aperture allows for consistent exposure settings across the entire zoom range and provides excellent control over depth of field.
Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: Engineered to produce smooth, natural “bokeh,” the rounded aperture creates a soft and pleasing out-of-focus quality that is ideal for isolating portrait subjects.
Advanced Vibration Compensation (VC)
Proprietary Image Stabilization: Tamron’s VC system uses a unique three-coil design and low-friction steel balls to provide a stable viewfinder image and excellent shake reduction.
Innovative Moving Coil Method: By utilizing a lightweight coil attached to the optical elements rather than a heavy magnet, the drive system is faster and more efficient. This technology allows the lens to maintain a compact profile while successfully stabilizing the large, heavy glass elements required for an f/2.8 zoom.
Low-Light Mastery: The VC system enables sharp handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds, making it significantly easier to capture crisp images in dim environments without a tripod.
Fast and Silent Performance
Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD): This high-torque motor delivers lightning-fast and nearly silent autofocus. The quiet operation is a major advantage for videographers and for capturing candid moments in noise-sensitive environments.
Full-Time Manual Focus: The USD motor supports a continuous manual focus mechanism, allowing you to make fine adjustments by hand at any time without switching out of AF mode.
Moisture-Resistant Design: Built to withstand the rigors of the field, the lens features weather-sealing to prevent water and dust from penetrating the housing during outdoor shoots.
Compact and Versatile
Professional Portability: Despite its advanced features and fast aperture, the lens remains lightweight (29.1 oz) and compact (4.6″ length). This balanced design ensures it won’t wear you out during long days of shooting.
Broad Compatibility: While optimized for full-frame Canon DSLRs, it can also be used on APS-C models, providing a versatile 38.4-112mm equivalent focal range.
