The 70-180mm F2.8 VC G2 is a fast-aperture telephoto zoom lens that combines TAMRON’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization mechanism with a class-leading compact size and weight design,* offering both outstanding mobility and greater stability across a wide range of scenes. It delivers uncompromising image quality throughout the entire zoom range.
At the wide end, the lens achieves an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of just 0.3m (11.8in), allowing for close-up compositions unique to this lens.
For autofocus, the lens features TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism that delivers excellent quietness and responsiveness for high-speed, high-precision auto-focusing whether shooting stills or video.
Additionally, the lens supports TAMRON Lens Utility™, TAMRON’s dedicated software developed in-house. The software can be used to customise functions based on various shooting styles for still photography and video.
This lens is designed with a focus on operability and scratch resistance. This well-balanced lens combines portability, high imaging quality, and excellent usability.
