The Tamron SP 45mm F/1.8 Di VC USD is a normal prime designed for cameras with a Full-Frame sensor. This ultra-bright prime has a 45mm focal-length. An optical Image Stabilization System built into this lens compensates for camera shake.
This prime lens focuses down to 29cm from the imaging plane, capturing subject with a maximum 0.3X magnification. The lens offers a Quick-Shift AF system which lets the user simply rotate the focus-ring to focus manually. A Super-Sonic motor inside the lens delivers very fast and relatively quiet AF.
The lens weighs 540g. 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 A mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Sony A mount cameras with Full-Frame or smaller sensors. Tamron also makes this lens for Canon EF and Nikon F mounts.
