70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD G2 for Nikon F

Telephoto Zoom Lens

A versatile telephoto zoom, the Nikon F-mount SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens from Tamron features a bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture, alongside a refined optical design and sleek design. Designed for use with FX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs, it can also be used with DX models where it will provide a 105-300mm equivalent focal length range.

Optically One XLD (extra-low dispersion) and five LD (low dispersion) elements work to control chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for sharpness and clarity, while both BBAR and eBAND coatings reduce flare and ghosting. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm ensures pleasing out of focus 'bokeh' areas. This is complimented by a Vibration Compensation (VC) system that helps to minimise the appearance of camera shake by up to 5 stops for sharper handheld shooting. Three VC modes are available: Mode 1 for general use with stablised capture and viewfinder image, Mode 2 for panning movements, and Mode 3 for image stabilisation only during capture, without stabilising the viewfinder image.

A ring-type Ultrasonic Silent Drive autofocus motor completes the design, offering impressive performance and full-time manual focus override for fine-tuned adjustments. The lens is also dust and moisture-resistant with a flourine coating on the front lens element, for peace of mind when working in changeable conditions, and includes a rotating, removable tripod food with an Arca-type compatible base.

Please note that an electromagnetic diaphragm is used for more precise and consistent exposure control, especially when shooting at high continuous shooting rates. Due to this unique design, this lens is only compatible with select Nikon F-mount cameras that support an electromagnetic diaphragm, including the D3100, D3200, D3300, D3400, D5000, D5100, D5200, D5300, D5500, D5600, D7000, D7100, D7200, D300, D300s, D600, D610, D700, D750, D800, D800E, D810, D810A, D3x, D4, D4S, Df, D500, and D5 DSLRs.

It is compatible with optional TAP-in Console for fine-tuning select focusing adjustments and for updating lens firmware.
