Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC G2 – Canon

The Tamron 24-70 F2.8 VC G2 is the latest version of Tamron’s highly popular standard zoom lens. Thanks to its versatile focal length range and fast aperture, this lens is suitable for almost any situation. You can easily capture travel shots, documentary photos and portraits with a single lens. With the right equipment, even sports photography is possible. The key improvements include two new microprocessors, one of which controls image stabilisation and the other autofocus. As a result, autofocus is extremely fast and reliable, and the VC image stabiliser stabilises the lens by up to 5 stops, enabling handheld shooting even at slow shutter speeds.

The lens body is made of metal and finished with rubber seals to make it weather-, moisture- and dust-resistant. The result is an extremely stylish and durable design suitable for all conditions. However, not all resources have been devoted to the lens’s appearance; the interior is at least as modern, with an advanced optical design comprising 17 elements in 12 groups. It incorporates LD and XR lenses, which effectively eliminate chromatic aberration and sharpen the image naturally. In addition to these, four aspherical lenses ensure optimum sharpness across the entire focal length range.
