Ensuring high speed and dependable autofocusing is Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor, which tracks subjects and suppresses drive noise. This design allows this lens to be viable for both photo and video applications. Additionally, a focus limiter switch is incorporated to restrict the lens’s AF range and prevent it from pointlessly searching throughout its full focusing span. This saves time and contributes to a better overall user experience.
A newly designed lens hood allows for seamless filter rotation without having to remove the hood via a sliding window. Compatibility with Tamron Lens Utility software is supported, allowing you to easily change lens settings, assign custom camera functions, and update lens firmware.
This lens joins Tamron’s collection of quality primes fit for mirrorless systems and distinguishes itself by leaning toward the telephoto end of the focal length spectrum. Ultimately, this lens is perfect for those needing a close-up perspective with a constant bright f/2.8 aperture that often isn’t offered by zoom alternatives.
