Tamron SP 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD G2 Canon Returns

The Tamron 24-70mm G2 is a fast F/2.8 Zoom and has been extensively redesigned compared to its predecessor to offer the highest image quality and performance.

The new Dual MPU (Micro Processing Unit) enables faster autofocus with improved accuracy and world-class image stabilization*1 (CIPA standards of 5 stops).

Tamrons exclusive eBAND coating reduces flare and light reflections inside the lens. Even when shooting backlit, the new Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 achieves flawless, brilliant image results. In addition, the front lens of the A032 model features a water- and grease-repellent fluorine coating. The Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is protected against splash water and dust ingress at all critical points with special seals. Discerning photographers can use the new fast Zoom lens for a wide range of applications, including landscape, portrait, reportage, travel and more.

Outstanding performance andsuperiorimage quality
The use of special, high-quality glass materials ensures accurate color reproduction and superior sharpness, perfect for the demands of today's high-end camera sensors. The optical design (17 elements in 12 groups) uses 2 XR (Extra Refractive Index) elements, 3 LD (Low Dispersion) elements, 3 GM (Glass-Molded aspherical) elements and a hybrid aspherical lens element.
The high-performance lenses minimize image errors such as chromatic aberrations (color fringes), to which fast Zoom lenses are somewhat more susceptible, while ensuring uniformly high image quality across the entire image area.

Optimized eBAND Coating
All lens elements feature eBAND (Extendes Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) coating, further developed by Tamron specifically for the SP 24-70mm G2. This technology combines a conventional multi-coating and an ultra-low refractive index nano-coating.
The high anti-reflective properties of this combination provide very effective anti-reflective coating of the lens surfaces, minimizing stray light and light reflections inside the lens. Even with backlit shots, brilliant image results are achieved with the new Zoom lens.

Dual-MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) for faster and more precise autofocus and improved image stabilization
The innovative control system uses a dual-MPU design with improved processing power. With this design, autofocus and image stabilization do not share one MPU, but are each controlled by their own processor. This results in faster and more accurate autofocus performance, as well as more powerful image stabilization. In combination, low-light performance has also been improved.

High-performance MPU improves autofocus accuracy and speed
The 24-70mm G2 is equipped with a USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor to ensure excellent focusing speed and accuracy. The use of a stand-alone MPU enables fast digital signal processing to achieve excellent responsiveness and very precise autofocus control.

The new MPU delivers the highest image stabilization in its class
The new lens is equipped with Tamrons proven VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization. The Dual MPU combined with the latest stabilization algorithm ensures the highest stabilization in this lens class*1: 5 stops according to CIPA standards. Even in low light or at slow shutter speeds, photographers can enjoy sharp shots with ease and comfort.

Weather-sealed body and fluorine coating
The body of the SP 24-70mm G2 is protected against the ingress of splashing water and dust with special seals at all critical points. The lens can be used in any weather as well as in humid and dirty environments without hesitation.
The front lens is coated with a water- and grease-repellent fluorine coating. This makes the outer surface particularly easy to clean and insensitive to fingerprints, moisture or damage from adhering dirt particles.

Electromagnetic diaphragm
The model variant with Nikon connection is now equipped with an electromagnetically controlled diaphragm unit. This allows even more precise exposure, as the diaphragm blades open and close very precisely. This function was already integrated as standard in models with a Canon mount.

Compatible with Tamron TAP-in console, optionally available
Tamron's TAP-in console allows the Zoom lens to be customized to the photographer's individual needs. A software application and USB connection to the computer can be used to update firmware and adjust autofocus and image stabilization.
