Rent NowThe Tamron SP 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di LD Aspherical is a versatile ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for Nikon F-mount film and digital SLR cameras. Featuring a 17-35mm focal length range and a variable f/2.8-4 maximum aperture, this lens is well suited for landscapes, architecture, interiors, travel, environmental portraits, and general wide-angle photography. Its combination of a wide field of view, specialized optical elements, and relatively compact construction makes it a practical option for photographers seeking additional flexibility in their wide-angle compositions.
The 17-35mm zoom range provides photographers with the ability to capture expansive scenes while maintaining control over framing and perspective. At 17mm, the lens offers an ultra-wide field of view ideal for landscapes, architectural photography, and confined spaces. At 35mm, it provides a more moderate wide-angle perspective suitable for environmental portraits, street photography, and everyday shooting.
With a maximum aperture of f/2.8 at the wide end and f/4 at the telephoto end, the lens offers flexibility when working in a variety of lighting conditions. The relatively bright aperture at 17mm is particularly useful for handheld photography in available light, while smaller aperture settings allow photographers to achieve greater depth of field when photographing landscapes and architectural subjects.
The optical design incorporates Low Dispersion (LD) glass and aspherical elements to help minimize chromatic aberrations, distortion, and other optical imperfections. These specialized elements contribute to improved sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy throughout the zoom range. Tamron’s lens coatings also help reduce internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, maintaining contrast when photographing scenes with strong light sources or challenging lighting conditions.
Designed as part of Tamron’s Super Performance (SP) series, the lens emphasizes optical quality and practical handling. Its Di (Digitally Integrated Design) designation indicates an optical design optimized for use with digital SLR cameras while retaining compatibility with 35mm film cameras. The lens provides full-frame coverage and can also be used with Nikon DX-format DSLRs, where it offers an approximately 25.5-52.5mm equivalent focal length range.
The lens features autofocus capabilities when paired with compatible Nikon F-mount camera bodies. Its focusing system also allows manual focus adjustments for photographers who prefer direct control over focus placement. Autofocus compatibility may vary depending on the camera model, particularly with Nikon DSLR bodies that do not feature an internal autofocus motor.
The lens incorporates dedicated zoom and focus controls, allowing photographers to make adjustments to framing and focus as needed. Its relatively compact design makes it convenient for travel and everyday use, particularly for photographers seeking an ultra-wide-angle zoom without the size and weight of larger professional lenses.
