Higher function for great photos

The apex of telephoto lenses in a compact package. SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di USD delivers leading-edge image quality in a body that's one of smallest in its class. Equipped with Tamron's proprietary USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor, this lens boasts a speedy autofocus so that you can capture that one decisive moment. For sports, journalism, fashion, weddings, or even landscapes, the 70-200mm will exceed your expectations every time.

Fast, accurate, quiet focusing USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive)

In the ultrasonic motor, a piezoelectric element arranged in a ring formation generates ultrasonic vibrations in a metallic ring stator, and the vibration energy is used to rotate a metallic ring rotor that is attached to the stator. The rotation energy is in turn transferred from the metallic ring rotor to operate the focus lens. The result is a lens featuring low noise and high-torque, highly responsive, speedy focusing.

Technology and innovation all packed into one small place

One of the most compact lens body in its class, and it's equipped with Tamron's USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor to reduce camera shake so that you can achieve the previously unobtainable.

Moisture-resistant construction helps protect from the elements

Moisture-resistant construction helps prevent moisture from penetrating the lens.

Rounded diaphragm and high-speed deliver spectacular blur effects

Using a rounded diaphragm, this lens achieves spectacular blur effects. By distinctively blurring backgrounds and foregrounds this high-speed lens creates images that bring your subject into focus, thus to life.

Delivering leading-edge image quality

With one special XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) glass and four LD (Low Dispersion) elements, this lens offers a new level of correction for chromatic aberrations. The new advanced optical design delivers higher performance with excellent contrast and resolution.

Full-time manual focus makes fine tuning easy

All Tamron lenses have high autofocus precision and are designed to capture subjects easily in almost any situation, yet sometimes a photographer wants to fine tune and make adjustments on the fly. The integration of full time manual focus offers just that: instead of fumbling with switches, photographers can switch from autofocus to manual focus by simply adjusting the focus ring. This feature helps the lens produce impressive results even in telephoto situations where the depth of field is narrow.

The Sony mount does not include VC, as Sony digital SLR bodies include image stabilization functionality.
