Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8-4 Di VC OSD Lens for Canon EF

Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8-4 Di VC OSD Lens for Canon EF
The Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8-4 Di VC OSD is a uniquely versatile portrait-to-landscape standard zoom engineered for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs (and compatible APS-C models, providing a 56-240mm equivalent range). Characterized by its bright f/2.8-4 variable aperture and highly practical focal range, this lens replaces multiple primes, making it a stellar travel and event workflow tool that balances fast glass with a lightweight, compact design.

Versatile Aperture & Advanced Optics
Bright f/2.8-4 Range: The fast maximum aperture range excels in available light and provides beautiful, painterly depth-of-field control for striking subject isolation.

Aberration Correction: The optical architecture features three Low Dispersion (LD) glass elements to wipe out color fringing and chromatic aberrations, alongside three hybrid aspherical elements that secure edge-to-edge sharpness while minimizing sagittal comatic flare.

BBAR Coating: Individual glass elements are layered with Tamron’s Broad-Band Anti-Reflection coating, significantly suppressing ghosting and lens flare to maintain rich contrast and color accuracy in backlit frames.

Responsive AF & 5-Stop Stabilization
Dual MPU Setup: Outfitted with dual dedicated Micro-Processing Units—one strictly for autofocus and one for stabilization—ensuring lightning-fast data processing and immediate response.

Optimized Silent Drive (OSD): The specialized OSD motor delivers fast, quiet, and highly precise autofocus performance, offering a close 1.5′ minimum focusing distance throughout the entire zoom range.

5-Stop Vibration Compensation (VC): Embedded VC image stabilization counteracts camera shake by up to five stops, enabling tack-sharp handheld execution at slow shutter speeds or in low-light environments.

Electromagnetic Diaphragm: A rounded 9-blade diaphragm generates creamy, circular out-of-focus highlights (bokeh) while the electromagnetic aperture barrel ensures highly stable exposure control during rapid burst shooting.

Condition Note (Well Used)
This lens is well-used and exhibits specific internal optical flaws. Please review the following details prior to purchase:

Internal Optical Haze & Contamination: The internal glass elements show visible haze as well as noticeable dust accumulation and a small piece of hair/lint resting off to the side of the optical pathway. While the lens remains operational, internal haze can lower overall contrast or introduce a softer glow when shooting directly into harsh, bright light sources.

Exterior & Mechanics: Despite the internal optical notes, the external lens barrel is in good cosmetic condition with normal light wear. Focus rings, zoom rings, switches, and mounting contacts function smoothly.

Included Accessories: Ships fully accompanied by the front lens cap, rear lens cap, and original dedicated lens hood.
