Outstanding optical performance
With a focal length range of 17-70mm, equivalent to 25.5-105mm on full-frame cameras. The Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD Sony E (APS-C) is the first f/2.8 high-speed zoom lens in the world for APS-C mirrorless cameras to achieve a 4.1x zoom ratio.
The optical construction of the new 17-70mm f/2.8 is equally impressive and features 16 elements in 12 groups. Two GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements and one hybrid aspherical lens element are precisely arranged to maintain high-resolution performance from edge to edge.
- 16 elements in 12 groups
- Two moulded glass aspherical elements and one hybrid aspherical element corrects distortion and spherical aberrations.
- Two LD (Low Dispersion) elements greatly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations.
- BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating has been applied to individual elements in order to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting.
- Focuses down to 0.19m MOD (Minimum Object Distance) at the 17mm wide-angle and 0.39m (15.4 in) MOD at the 70mm telephoto, ensuring good close-range shooting performance for compelling close-up shots.
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
Vibration Compensation (VC) for worry-free still photography and video capture
The Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD Sony E (APS-C) utilizes highly regarded VC image stabilisation to maximize the optical performance of the lens when shooting handheld by effectively compensating camera shake. When shooting video, image stabilisation is further improved by leveraging AI technology compared to more conventional modes of stabilisation.
RXD Stepping Motor for Precise Autofocus
The AF drive incorporates an RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit. The RXD actuator is able to precisely control the rotational angle of the motor, allowing it to drive the focusing lens directly without the use of a reduction gear. Additionally, a dedicated sensor senses the position of the lens to a high degree of accuracy - enabling both high-speed and precise AF which allows to maintain razor-sharp focus when shooting moving subjects or filming video.
- RXD motor with a direct drive of the focusing element for precise control
- Position sensor that detects the lens position for better tracking AF
Built with Sony Mirrorless Cameras in Mind
The new Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD Sony E (APS-C) is compatible with many of the advanced features that are specific to Sony Mirrorless cameras. This includes:
- Fast Hybrid AF
- Eye Af
- Direct Manual Focus (DMF)
- In-camera Lens Correction (shading, chromatic aberration, distortion)
- Camera-based lens unit firmware updates
A highly portable compact design
The 17-70mm f/2.8 zoom measures a scant 119.3mm (4.7 in) in length and 74.6mm in maximum diameter and weighs only 525g (18.5 oz). This is remarkable for a lens with built-in VC image stabilization. When used with Sony's APS-C mirrorless cameras, this zoom is nicely balanced and provides a comfortable user experience.
- 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.
