## Description

The new 17-70mm F2.8 is Tamron's first high-speed zoom lens for mirrorless cameras with APS-C size sensors and is the world's first high-speed standard zoom lens for APS-C cameras with the focal length range of 17-70mm 4.1x zoom ratio. It features a maximum aperture of F2.8 across the entire 4.1x zoom ratio covering a focal length of 17-70mm (a full-frame equivalent of 25.5-105mm) ideal for everyday use, and superb optical performance. It is a small, lightweight lens that is also equipped with Tamron's VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism to minimize camera shake. When shooting video, by leveraging AI technology, image stabilization performance improves compared to conventional models. The lens features Moisture-Resistant Construction, Fluorine Coating and a Ø67mm filter size – the same as the Tamron series of lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Compatible with many of the features that Sony builds into its cameras, including Fast Hybrid AF and Eye AF, the lens is the ideal everyday zoom lens for a multitude of situations. It is a highly practical lens that enables photographers to attain high image quality while enjoying the benefits of the large F2.8 aperture.

Review: Highly recommended for anyone serious about photography or filmmaking. - This was the very first item on my teenage son’s Christmas list. At first, the price was a bit shocking to me, but after seeing what this lens can do for both photos and video, especially compared to the cameras and lenses his peers use while competing in national film competitions, it was absolutely the right choice. The clarity and focus instantly elevate even ordinary shots. His very first photo was of our cat, taken in poor lighting, under a table, with shadows from dining chairs. Despite the challenging conditions, the image looked like a professionally captured, high-end portrait worthy of framing. The colors are rich and beautifully enhanced, and the overall quality looks edited straight out of the camera. He read the manual to understand the functionality and proper focusing techniques. While the lens feels heavy to me, it balances perfectly on his Sony camera, and with a neck strap, it’s no issue for him at all. He was very clear that this was the exact lens he wanted and explained why bundle deals are not ideal, something he thoroughly researched and discussed with his film teacher. This lens is expensive, but it’s not just a gift; it’s an investment. It’s a tool he will continue to develop his skills with as he works toward a career in film. His Sony camera and this lens were both recommended by his high school broadcast journalism teacher, and I now understand why. No photos are included because the product looks exactly as pictured. I truly had no idea how much a quality lens could make a difference, and after seeing the results, the value is undeniable. Highly recommended for anyone serious about photography or filmmaking. I hinted to my son that he might want to use this to capture senior pictures of his peers, since it has the quality of a professional lens.
Review: This is THE BEST Zoom lens for the Price! - This Lens has been incredible! It looks and feels so premium, and the quality has been outstanding! I am just getting started into my photography journey but I can tell you this lens has been a game changer over my kit lenses. the f2.8 make the low light environments so much more workable and the background blur is next level. The images looks super sharp and the autofocus works very fast. the only very slightly negative thing I would say is the lens does have a bit of weight to it, but for the wide range of zoom you get paired with the constant f2.8 it more than worth its weight in gold! I've seriously never been more happy with such a purchase and I cannot wait to get my next Tamron lens!
