Product Description
The new SP 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II VC covers the very popular 17-50mm focal
length range (equivalent to 26-78mm in the full-frame 35mm format making it
extremely versatile. Its wide aperture and outstanding performance provide
practical advantages in low-light shooting and aesthetic image control, thereby
enriching the user's range of creative expression. The new lens delivers
impressive sharpness and striking contrast over its entire focal-length and
aperture range, and at its maximum aperture of f/2.8 it produces beautiful
images enhanced by shallow depth of-field, and smooth, natural transitions in
out-of-focus areas of the image (i.e. excellent bokeh.) The new lens is equipped
with Tamron's proprietary Vibration Compensation (VC) image stabilization
mechanism, which controls the effects of camera shake in three planes. VC
provides more opportunities for sharp hand-held photography at the slow shutter
speeds needed when shooting in low-light conditions (e.g. night or indoor
scenes) dramatically enhancing the user's level of photographic freedom.
