Outlet SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens for Canon EF Zoom Lenses

FEATURES:

Outstanding  resolution and contrast reproduction performance, beautiful bokeh and  full compatibility with Tamron teleconverters – Based on the  current model (A009), the optical design has been revised and improved.  Both the resolution and contrast reproduction performance far exceed the  present levels. Bokeh has been enhanced and expanded to deliver  outstanding background effects across the entire zoom range. Use of a  circular diaphragm with nine blades further improves bokeh. The optical  design of the new A025 consists of 23 elements in 17 groups. Optimum  deployment of XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) glass  elements thoroughly eliminate chromatic aberrations, which tend to  become particularly prominent in high-speed telephoto lenses, across the  entire zoom range, while ensuring uniform, high-level image quality  even on the periphery of the image plane.

Improved VC  system provides highest Vibration Compensation ability in its class3 (5  stops using CIPA standard compliant) and offers three situation-specific  VC modes – Utilizing Tamron’s original VC (Vibration  Compensation) system, which uses a moving coil mechanism, further  reinforcement of the drive system power and control performance has now  achieved the highest VC level in its class, with an image stabilization  performance of 5 stops according to the CIPA standard (using VC Mode 3).

Demonstratively improved autofocus speed and responsiveness – The SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens is equipped with a USD  (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) ring-type ultrasonic motor, whose outstanding  responsiveness and control ensures accurate high-speed focusing.  Incorporating two advanced, high-performance microcomputers and  optimizing the algorithm has improved both the focusing speed and  accuracy compared with SP 70-200mm (Model A009). Additionally, thanks to  the Full-time Manual Focus override mechanism, photographers shooting  with AF can instantaneously make fine focusing adjustments using MF  without wasting time by switching the AF-MF mode back and forth.

Focuses closer (shorter Minimum Object Distance, or MOD) for greater versatility – Improvements made to the focus cam and zoom cam inside the lens barrel  have reduced the MOD from 50.7 inches in the older Model A009 to 37.4  inches for Model A025, which has a maximum magnification ratio of 1:6.1.  The shorter MOD, coupled with the excellent optical performance of the  SP 70-200mm (Model A025), allows photographers to further broaden their  range of expression.

Optimized and exclusively designed eBAND Coating – The new A025 features Tamron’s original eBAND (Extended Bandwidth &  Angular-Dependency) Coating, a technology that combines a  nano-structured layer with an extremely low refractive index with the  conventional multiple-layer coatings. Optimized and exclusively designed  for this new zoom, the eBAND Coating provides superior anti-reflection  performance, effectively reducing any flare and ghosting. Even when  taking backlit portraits, the new lens delivers flawless, crystal clear  images.

Moisture-Proof and Dust-Resistant Construction – Ideal for use in outdoor photography, the new 70-200mm telephoto zoom  has moisture-resistant construction because special sealants that are  dust-resistant and moisture-resistant are used at every joint and seam.  The sealant material helps to prevent the intrusion of any dirt, dust or  water droplets, compared to conventional Moisture-Resistant  Construction.

Fluorine Coating for greater protection – The front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective  fluorine compound that is water- and oil-repellant. The lens surface is  easier to wipe clean and less vulnerable to the damaging effects of  dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints.
8. Electromagnetic diaphragm system now used also for Nikon-mount lenses
An  electromagnetic diaphragm system, which has been a standard feature for  Canon-mount lenses, is now available for Nikon-mount lenses4. More  precise diaphragm and aperture control is possible because the diaphragm  blades are driven and controlled by the motor through electronic pulse  signals.

Lightweight and easy-to-hold tripod mount is compatible with Arca-Swiss style quick release plates – A new textured grip and Arca-Swiss style tripod interface enhances both  speed and utility. Because the tripod mount is made of lightweight  magnesium, it is much easier to carry.

Compatible with TAMRON TAP-in ConsoleTM, an optional accessory product – The  optional TAP-in Console provides a USB connection to a personal  computer, enabling users to easily update the lens firmware as well as  customize features, including fine adjustments to the AF and VC.

Based  on the rigorous quality standards worthy of the SP series, this new  lens is manufactured with a thorough attention to details – For  the SP series products in particular, Tamron has established rigorous  design and quality standards. These standards apply to the optical  design, mechanical design and the cosmetic appearance, as well as to  such wide-ranging areas as the product’s robustness and improvements in  the various individual functions. Tamron thoroughly reviews all of the  design and manufacturing processes in order to offer products to  customers with even-higher levels of precision and quality.
