About this model
The Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD is a professional standard zoom for Canon EF-mount DSLRs. Its constant f/2.8 aperture stays bright throughout the zoom range, suiting low light, shallow depth of field and fast shutter speeds, while the 24-70mm range covers wide-angle to short telephoto – a classic choice for events, portraits, weddings and everyday reportage. Vibration Compensation steadies handheld shooting, and the Ultrasonic Silent Drive motor focuses quickly and quietly with full-time manual override. Part of Tamron's SP (Super Performance) line, it uses special glass elements to control aberrations and is built for serious use on both full-frame and APS-C bodies.
