Tamron SP 17-35mm F/2.8-4 Di

High quality picture by virtue of Di (Digitally Integrated Design)
Featuring Di (Digitally Integrated Design), the optical system designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital cameras, the lens lets you take high quality pictures with Digital, as well as conventional, SLRs.

Attractive and useful focal length, 17-35mm
This new lens provides a desirable wideangle focal length that is useful and fun for conventional SLR photography and acts as “Wide-to-Standard Zoom” equivalent to 28-55mm* for interchangeable Digital SLRs.
* In case of APS-C size image sensor

M.O.D. (Minimum Object Distance) 30cm throughout the range
With its Maximum Magnification Ratio of 1:5.4 at the 35mm setting at 30cm (M.O.D.), this ultra wide-angle zoom enables you to take dramatic close-up shots. The M.O.D. of only 30cm throughout the zoom range is impressive as it is the best in this class of lens and lets you get close to the subject so that you can enjoy creative image composition by emphasizing and exaggerating your main subject against a wide background.

Fast maximum aperture of F/2.8 at the wideangle end
TAMRON’s 17-35mm Di features a maximum open aperture of F/2.8 at the 17mm setting, providing you with the advantage of shooting in dimly-lit conditions and helping to prevent camera-shake that leads to blurred subjects. The fast F/2.8 aperture also gives your images a unique appearance at wide-angle where depth-of-field is commonly deeper.

Aberrations corrected through the use of compound Aspherical and LD elements
Image distortion, spherical aberrations and other aberrations have been effectively corrected and eliminated through the use of three large compound Aspherical elements, enabling high-definition pictures at any focal length. Moreover, color aberrations characteristic of wideangle lenses have been diminished through the use of an LD element.

Maximum shading with “Flower-Shaped Hood” as standard accessory
TAMRON’s 17-35mm Di uses a large size “Flower-Shaped Hood” that is provided as standard accessory. This style hood cuts the harmful light coming from outside the angle of view by adjusting the four-sided picture frame effectively in order to realize clear images.

The form and texture of the lens speak to the SP series’ high performance and precision
The “high performance and precision” look of this new lens is fitting for the TAMRON SP series. Finishing touches like the graphic display on the lens that features a more visible font, the finish of the lens barrel that utilizes a high quality, delicately wrinkled enamel that is not only durable but offers a comfortable feel, and more all add up to make a lens that handles and functions superbly in the field.
