A versatile focal length for every creative opportunity

It allows you to capture:

Its versatility makes it an excellent single-lens solution for photographers and content creators alike.

Constant f/2.8 brightness

One of the lens's greatest strengths is its constant f/2.8 aperture, which remains available throughout the entire zoom range.

This provides:

• Consistent exposure while zooming
• Excellent low-light performance
• Greater creative control over depth of field
• Smooth and attractive background blur

The rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces beautiful, natural-looking bokeh that enhances portraits and close-up photography.

VC image stabilization for sharper handheld shooting

Tamron's integrated VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization system effectively reduces camera shake.

This allows you to enjoy:

• Sharper handheld photos
• Improved low-light shooting capabilities
• Smoother handheld video footage
• Greater freedom without relying on a tripod

The stabilization system is especially valuable for indoor photography, evening scenes and travel shooting.

Fast, quiet and precise RXD autofocus

It is perfectly suited for:

• Photography
