OPTICAL PERFORMANCE

The Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 mirrorless lens delivers exceptional image quality throughout its versatile zoom range. Its advanced optical construction features 16 elements in 12 groups, incorporating two Glass Molded Aspherical (GM) elements and one hybrid aspherical element to minimise distortion while maintaining outstanding sharpness from the centre to the edges of the frame.

The constant f/2.8 aperture provides consistent exposure throughout the 17-70mm focal range while producing beautiful background blur for portraits and close-up photography. Excellent low-light capability allows photographers to shoot confidently indoors, at dusk and in other challenging lighting conditions without sacrificing image quality.

AUTOFOCUS & HANDLING

Equipped with Tamron's RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) autofocus motor, this Nikon Z-mount mirrorless lens delivers fast, accurate and exceptionally quiet autofocus performance.

The precision stepping motor provides smooth focus transitions for both still photography and video recording while effectively tracking moving subjects. Minimal focus breathing further enhances video performance by maintaining a consistent angle of view during focus changes.

Tamron's integrated VC image stabilisation significantly reduces camera shake during handheld shooting. For video recording, AI-assisted stabilisation automatically optimises compensation to suit changing shooting conditions.

CLOSE-UP PERFORMANCE

The Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 mirrorless lens offers impressive close-focus capabilities, with a minimum object distance of just 0.19m at 17mm and 0.39m at 70mm.

This allows photographers to create striking close-up images with dramatic perspective and beautifully blurred backgrounds. Whether photographing food, products, flowers or everyday details, the constant f/2.8 aperture delivers excellent subject separation and creative depth-of-field control.
