About this model
The Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a professional-grade telephoto zoom for Nikon F-mount cameras. Its constant f/2.8 aperture delivers fast shutter speeds and shallow depth of field, ideal for portraits, events, sports and wildlife. The Vibration Compensation (VC) system reduces camera shake, while the Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) autofocus is quick and quiet. Built to Tamron's SP (Super Performance) standards, it features moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine coating on the front element. This G2 version improves on the original with faster AF, better VC and a more robust build. It includes a removable tripod mount and is compatible with Tamron's TC-X14 and TC-X20 teleconverters.
