The Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD is a high-performance standard zoom lens designed for full-frame and APS-C Canon EF-mount DSLRs (as well as mirrorless EOS R series cameras via an EF adapter). Covering a versatile range from 24mm wide-angle to 70mm short telephoto, it is a favored choice for landscapes, portraits, events, and everyday walkaround shooting. Featuring a fast, continuous f/2.8 maximum aperture, Tamron’s Vibration Compensation (VC) image stabilization system, and a quiet Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) autofocus motor, it delivers sharp handheld images in challenging low-light environments with smooth, reliable focus control.

Condition and Included Accessories

* Included Accessories: Front lens cap and rear lens cap included. Note: Lens hood is not included.

* Physical and Operational Condition: Cosmetically shows notable wear, as both the zoom and focus rubber grip rings are missing from the lens barrel. Optically, the lens exhibits internal dust, a noticeable layer of fungus on the rear element, a scuff mark on the front element, and a larger spot of fungus on the front element. These optical imperfections will likely cause softness, flare, or reduced contrast under high-contrast or direct lighting conditions.
