TAMRON 17-70MM F/2.8 DI III-A VC RXD OVERVIEW
Spanning a versatile zoom range and
characterized by its bright design, the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD is
a 25.5-105mm-equivalent lens for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless
cameras. The wide to short-tele range is ideal for everyday shooting and the
fast f/2.8 constant maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting
conditions and offers improved control over depth of field. Complementing this
design is a series of specialized optics, including aspherical and low
dispersion elements, that produce well-corrected imagery with high sharpness,
clarity, and color accuracy. Individual elements also feature Tamron's BBAR
coating, which suppresses flare and ghosting for greater contrast when working
in backlit and harsh lighting conditions.
Adding to the versatility of the
zoom design is a Vibration Compensation image stabilization system, which
reduces the appearance of camera shake for steadier photo and video recording
in low-light conditions. Also benefitting handling, an RXD stepping motor
enables quick, near-silent autofocus performance along with full-time manual
focus override and a minimum focusing distance of 7.5". Suiting this
lens's use in inclement weather conditions, it also features a
moisture-resistant construction along with a fluorine-coated front element to
protect against fingerprints and smudging.
- Versatile zoom is designed for
APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras and covers wide-angle to
short-telephoto fields of view with its 25.5-105mm equivalent focal length
range.
- Bright constant f/2.8 maximum
aperture affords consistent brightness throughout the zoom range and offers
improved control over depth of field.
- Two molded glass aspherical
elements and one hybrid aspherical element help to correct distortion and
spherical aberrations to achieve a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering.
- Two LD (Low Dispersion) elements
greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom
range in order to realize improved clarity and color accuracy.
- BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection)
Coating has been applied to individual elements in order to suppress internal
reflections, flare, and ghosting to achieve greater contrast and color fidelity
when working in strong lighting conditions.
- RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping
Drive) autofocus motor delivers impressively quiet, quick, and smooth focusing
performance to suit both stills and video applications. This focusing system
also offers a minimum focusing distance of just 7.5" and a 1:4.8 maximum
magnification for working with close-up subjects. Full-time manual focus
override is also possible, and it is compatible with Sony's Direct Manual Focus
function or fine-tuned manual control.
- VC image stabilization helps to
minimize the appearance of camera shake for more effective handheld shooting in
difficult lighting conditions.
- A moisture-resistant construction
benefits this lens' use in inclement conditions, and a fluorine coating has
also been applied to the front lens element to protect against dust, dirt, and
smearing.
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm
contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
