After extensive research and development, the Tamron 17-70mm f/ 2.8 Di III-A VC RXD Lens for Fujifilm X has been designed to deliver superior optical performance across its entire 4.1 x zoom range. This advanced lens, compatible with Fujifilm X-series cameras, offers a versatile focal length range of 17-70mm, equivalent to 25.5 -105mm on full-frame cameras. This makes it the world's first fast-aperture standard zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras with such a high zoom ratio. Constructed with 16 elements in 12 groups, including two Glass Molded Aspherical and one hybrid aspherical lens elements, this high-quality lens ensures sharp, high-resolution images from edge to edge.
The lens features a fast maximum aperture of f/ 2.8 across the entire zoom range, enhancing its performance in low light conditions and enabling the creation of a shallow depth of field. The Tamron 17-70mm f/ 2.8 lens is equipped with Tamron's proprietary Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism, which leverages AI technology to minimize camera shake. This feature is optimized for both still images and video shooting, providing superior image stabilization regardless of whether the camera has in-body image stabilization. For videographers, the lens incorporates Tamron's Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive (RXD) AF motor, ensuring quiet operation and effective focus tracking of moving objects.
Furthermore, the lens suppresses focus breathing, a common issue in videography where the angle of view changes with the focusing distance. The lens also boasts a minimum object distance of 7.5 feet at the wide-angle end, making it perfect for capturing close-up details. It features a moisture-resistant construction and fluorine coating for enhanced durability, and a 67mm filter size that is consistent with most Tamron lenses for mirrorless cameras. In summary, the Tamron 17-70mm f/ 2.8 Di III-A VC RXD Lens for Fujifilm X is an innovative, reliable, and versatile lens that delivers high image quality for both photography and videography.
