Lens Description

The Tamron Di III 17-70mm F/2.8 VC RXD is a wide to short telephoto zoom designed for cameras with a APS-C (1.5X) sensor. This bright constant-aperture zoom covers a 17 to 70mm focal-range. It provides the same field of view as a 25.5-105mm lens on a Full-Frame camera. An optical Image Stabilization System built into this lens compensates for camera shake.

This 4X zoom lens focuses down to 19cm from the imaging plane, capturing subject with a maximum 0.2X magnification. The lens can focus automtically with the Focus-Drive selected by the camera. A built-in focus motor is used to set the focus-distance. It allowed Tamron to optimize the motor precisely for this lens in order to maximize performance.

The lens weighs 525g. Its body is weatherproof against adverse weather such as rain and snow. Seals in key areas prevent entry of water and dust.

This version of the lens has a Sony E mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Sony E mount cameras with APS-C (1.5X) sensors. Tamron also makes this lens for Fujifilm X mount.
