News from Tamron

Tamron has always made interesting and very high quality lenses. My first zoom lens was the Tamron 70-210 in their clever Adaptall mount. I still have it and still works. I got the lens in 1974.

Tamron Announces World's First Full-Size High Speed Standard Zoom with Image Stabilization

tamron_a007.jpgThe SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A007) is the first of its kind, which is a phrase that must feel really good to say if you're working for Tamron. It's a full size, high speed standard zoom lens that offers VC image stabilization and USD.

The 24-70mm lens uses specialized high-grade glass in its three LD elements, three Glass Molded Aspherical lenses, a single Hybrid Aspherical Lens and a pair of XR elements. It features the moving coil method of Vibration Compensation and an ultrasonic motor powered by vibrations on a small scale.

Tamron has not yet announced a release date or price for the new lens, but the company has stated that you'll be able to pick it up for Sony, Nikon and Canon mounts.
