Optical products

Interchangeable lenses for digital SLR cameras, interchangeable lenses for mirrorless system cameras, camcorder lenses, digital photo lenses, drone lenses, optical fixture units, lenses for surveillance cameras, FA and machine vision lenses, automotive camera lenses, camera modules and test plates, among others.

Highest image quality in the class of fast standard zoom lenses
The optical design has been fundamentally revised on the basis of the latest technologies. The 17 lens elements, including two LD (Low Dispersion) and one GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) element, have been arranged in such a way that optical aberrations are optimally corrected.

The 28-75 mm F/2.8 G2 demonstrates its full performance capabilities in conjunction with the latest ultra-high-resolution digital cameras: over the entire zoom range, it offers very high resolving power right into the corners of the image, with image quality at open aperture in particular being once again significantly better than that of the predecessor model A036. The 28-75 mm F/2.8 G2 also offers a very attractive bokeh effect.

Fast and silent VXD autofocus for precise focusing
The autofocus of the 28-75 mm F/2.8 G2 is based on a very responsive VXD linear motor developed by Tamron, which focuses on the subject about twice as fast as the previous model. Even at open aperture F/2.8, it guarantees precise focusing of both close and distant subjects, as well as reliable focus tracking on moving objects. The AF is so quiet that the Lens is ideal for photo and video shooting in situations where absolute silence is required.

Shortest focusing distance of 18 cm at an initial focal length of 28 mm for creative
close-ups with a maximum magnification of 1:2.7. With the 28-75 mm F/2.8 G2, the subject can still be focused at 28 mm even at a shooting distance of 18 cm, an improvement of 19 cm over the A036 model. The working distance between the front lens and the subject is only 4.4 cm. The maximum magnification corresponds to a ratio of 1:2.7, allowing dynamic close-ups with a large main subject and a wide background.

Advanced design with improved ergonomics and ease of use
The new design of the 28-75 mm F/2.8 G2 is groundbreaking for future Tamron Lenses. The focus ring and zoom ring are easier to grip and more comfortable to operate. Unlike previous models, the lens barrel features a glossy surface that is particularly resistant to scratches and dirt. There have also been selective improvements to the inner workings to achieve greater ease of use. Among other things, the resistance and torque of the zoom ring have been optimized for smoother and more precise focal length adjustment.

Proprietary software tool TAMRON Lens Utility for user-specific lens customization and firmware updates.
The 28-75mm F/2.8 G2 is compatible with the new TAMRON Lens Utility, which was developed by TAMRON itself. The TAMRON Lens Utility can be operated from a computer by connecting the lens to the Connector Port via a USB-C cable. Users can customize functions and update firmware through the Lens. Personalization provides flexible shooting options to suit the shooting situation, whether photo or video shooting.

Lightweight and compact body with easy-to-use design and 67mm filter size

Compatible with advanced camera features such as Fast Hybrid AF and Eye Detection ^AF1

The lightest and most compact telephoto zoom lens in its class with F2.8 aperture and amazing performance
The 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is an evolution of the first generation of the highly acclaimed 70-180mm zoom lens that has received much acclaim since its launch and has now been improved in several ways. The new model retains its fast F/2.8 aperture and offers 180mm in telephoto as before, while remaining the most compact and lightweight Lens in its class. The revised optical design of the 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 achieves uncompromising optical performance with impressively high image quality across the entire focal length range through a precise combination of special glass, including XLD - and LD lens elements. The 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 combines maximum portability, ease of use and functionality worthy of the "G2" label. It offers a unique shooting experience and makes shooting with a fast telephoto zoom lens even more enjoyable.

Flash Fast and precise VXD autofocus with significantly improved subject tracking and built-in VC image stabilizer
The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 features the proven VXD linear focus motor, which combines class-leading speed and precision to deliver fast and accurate focusing. Precise revised calculations improve tracking of moving subjects, ensuring you won't miss crucial scenes in either photo or video shooting. In addition, the 70-180mm F2.8 G2 is equipped with TAMRON's VC mechanism. This suppresses camera shake that can occur when shooting at telephoto, close focus, or in low light, allowing for sharper results.

Shortest focusing distance of 0.3m (at 70mm) opens up new unique possibilities
Close-up shooting that was only possible with manual focus with the 1st generation model is now possible with autofocus with the 70-180mm F2.8 G2. TAMRON has succeeded in shortening the focusing distance at 70mm to 0.3m. With a maximum possible magnification of 1:2.6, the lens offers unique possibilities for expressing one's own creativity.

Product features:
1.
Compact and lightweight zoom lens with integrated VC image stabilizer
Like the first-generation model, the 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is characterized by an exceptionally handy design. Despite its fast F/2.8 aperture, 180mm celebrity focal length, and built-in VC image stabilizer, it is the most compact and lightweight lens in its class, measuring 156.5mm in length (at 70mm focal length) and weighing just 855g. The maximum diameter is 87mm, and the filter size is identical to many other TAMRON Lenses for mirrorless system cameras, with a diameter of 67mm. The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is easy to carry and forms a well-balanced unit when combined with the camera. Challenging handheld telephoto photography is easier and more convenient than ever with this fast zoom lens.

2.
Revised optical design for superior image quality at all focal lengths
The optical design of the new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 includes 20 elements in 15 groups. The lens arrangement has been completely redesigned and includes several carefully placed special lenses, including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), three LD (Low Dispersion) and two GM (Glass Molded aspherical) lenses, as well as a hybrid aspherical. This combination minimizes chromatic aberrations and other image defects and ensures consistently high resolving power across the entire focal length range. The BBAR-G2 coating (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) suppresses light reflections and ghosting and ensures brilliant, high-contrast image reproduction, for example in backlit shots. The large aperture of F/2.8, in turn, enables the popular bokeh effect with velvety background blur.

3.
Lightning-fast and precise VXD autofocus with significantly improved object tracking
The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 features the proven VXD autofocus with linear motor, which was already incorporated in the first product generation. This AF system offers the fastest and most precise focusing of all TAMRON lenses and further improved performance in AF tracking of dynamic subjects such as athletes or vehicles.

4.
Integrated and TAMRON-developed VC image stabilizer
The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is equipped with the VC image stabilization developed by TAMRON. The VC mechanism ensures sharp images by effectively compensating for unwanted camera movement such as during telephoto shooting, subject tracking, and close-up shooting. When shooting indoors in poor lighting or in the dark, the VC image stabilizer makes it easier to shoot freehand at slower shutter speeds. When shooting at focal lengths up to 100mm, AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology provides improved stabilization performance.

5.
Shortest focusing distance of 0.3m (at 70mm) and 0.85m (at 180mm)
The revised optical design of the new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 allows close-up shooting from a distance of just 0.3m, an improvement of 0.55m over the first generation model. Since the distance between the camera and the subject is significantly shorter, the result is a particularly attractive bokeh effect. With a maximum possible magnification of 1:2.6, the Lens offers unique possibilities for expressing one's own creativity.

6.
Compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility for custom lens configuration

7.
More ease of use with advanced functionality

8.
User-friendly design (moisture-proof construction and fluorine coating)

9.
Compatible with many advanced camera features (e.g. Fast Hybrid AF and Eye Detection AF)

10.
Uniform filter thread with a diameter of 67 mm - compatible with most other TAMRON lenses for mirrorless system cameras
