Tamron launches fast SP AF17-50mm with Vibration Compensation

The new SP 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II VC is a high-quality standard lens with excellent optical performance and mechanical  quality, as are all lenses in the class of the Tamron Super Performance series ( SP).  This lens is equipped with Tamron´s VC image stabilizer, with which upto 4 stops are gained.

The new SP 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II VC covers the very popular 17-50mm focal length range (equivalent to 26-78mm in the full-frame 35mm format)  making it extremely versatile. Its wide aperture and outstanding performance provide practical advantages in low-light shooting and aesthetic image control, thereby enriching the user´s range of creative expression. The new lens delivers impressive sharpness and striking contrast over its entire focal-length and aperture range, and at its maximum aperture of f/2.8 it produces beautiful images enhanced by shallow depth of- field, and smooth, natural transitions in out-of-focus areas of the image (i.e. excellent bokeh.) The new lens is equipped with Tamron´s proprietary Vibration Compensation ( VC) image stabilization mechanism, which controls the effects of camera shake in three planes. VC provides more opportunities for sharp hand-held photography at the slow shutter speeds needed when shooting in low-light conditions (e.g. night or indoor scenes) dramatically enhancing the user´s level of photographic freedom.
