## Overview

The Tamron SP AF 70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD [IF] Macro Lens for Canon is a professional-grade telephoto zoom lens featuring a versatile 70-200mm range, a fast and constant f/2.8 aperture for superior low-light performance, and a 1:3.1 macro magnification ratio for close-up shots. Its internal focusing system ensures stable handling and filter use, while low dispersion glass elements reduce chromatic aberration for crisp, high-quality images. Lightweight yet robust, this lens is optimized for digital and full-frame DSLRs, making it a reliable choice for discerning photographers seeking exceptional image quality without compromise.

## Description

Product Description Cluttered backgrounds rendered well out of focus Tamron's SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) Macro lens exemplifies the second of the two zoom focal lengths considered essential by many professionals. At just 7.6 inches long and weighing only 1150g, long days of shooting become easier, and high quality optical design and manufacturing assure the image quality that makes long shoots rewarding. A fast and constant F2.8 maximum aperture renders cluttered backgrounds well out of focus, extends low-light shooting freedom and enables a brighter viewfinder image. The IF (Internal Focus) mechanism maintains a fixed barrel length throughout the focusing range, and optics featuring LD (Low Dispersion) glass assure remarkable image quality.Di LensesTamron Di lenses are performance optimised for digital SLR cameras and usable with DSLRs featuring sensors commonly referred to as APS-C, measuring approximately 24mm x 16mm, as well as larger full frame (36mm x 24mm) sensors and 35mm film SLRs. Low dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberration Super Performance for Discriminating Shooters (SP)Tamron SP (Super Performance) series is a line of ultra-high-performance lenses designed and manufactured to the exacting specifications demanded by professionals and others who require the highest possible image quality. In creating SP lenses Tamron’s optical designers put their foremost priority on achieving superior performance parameters.Low Dispersion (LD) Glass for Great Lens SharpnessLow dispersion (LD) glass elements in a lens help reduce chromatic aberration, i.e. the tendency of light of different colours to come to different points of focus at the image plane. Chromatic aberration reduces the sharpness of an image, but glass with an extremely low dispersion index has less of a tendency to separate (diffract) a ray of light into a rainbow of colours. This characteristic allows the lens designer to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration at the centre of the field (on axis), a particular problem at long focal lengths (the telephoto end of the zoom range), and for lateral chromatic aberration (towards the edges of the field) that often occurs at short focal lengths (the wide-angle end of the zoom range.) Small minimum focal distance allows for great close shots Internal Focusing (IF) SystemInternal focusing (IF) provides numerous practical benefits to photographers, including a non-rotating front filter ring that facilitates the positioning of polarising and graduated filters, and more predictable handling as the lens length does not change during focusing. Crucially, Tamron’s Internal Focusing (IF) system provides a close minimum focusing distance (MFD) throughout its entire focusing range. Also, IF improves optical performance by minimising illumination loss at the corners of the image field, and helps to suppress other aberrations that become more troublesome at different focusing positions.

Review: Love this baby! - Got this lens promptly from desertcart and at a keen price and I love it. This lens is very much as described - big and with some weight. The weight is not a problem for me but this must be distinguished from a pure consumer and lighter lens like for example, Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 which is also a good performing lens. I chose this version over the more recent Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 version which is heavier and reportedly has * faster focus with its Hyper Sonic Motor - well, my version has excellent auto focus and I have read too many reports of failure in lenses with such motors and so I prefer to do without; * Optical Stabilisation [OS] - I already have OS in the camera body so no need for that. This lens which I consider to be robust in build terms, delivers excellent image quality and has the magical f/2.8 aperture for isolating the subject matter from the background. Although not advertised in the desertcart web page, this lens comes with a 5 year European warranty. I do not think you can go wrong with this excellent lens that desertcart delivered the next day. I am well pleased with the desertcart service.
Review: Built like a tank - As an HD video alternative to the lovely Canon f2.8 L series alternative, this represents superb value. Sure, the Canon is even better built (though this is a solid chunk) and has a nice red ring round the front so everyone knows how wealthy you aren't, but if you don't need the image stabilised (IS) version and just want a fast, long zoom it's a great lens with super optics for the price. I can't do an A-B comparison of the equivalent Canon, but using it manually I'd say there's not much to choose between them. If you're a stills photographer, maybe pay the extra for Canon's snappy, super-quick, near silent AF but if you're strapping on a follow focus ring and using it for video, go Tamron. I only wish they made an equivalent 24-70mm f 2.8 to complement this. Highly recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: As this lens is so big, do i need to use a stand when using this? Or can i just hold the camera?**
A: It is quite heavy but perfectly useable hand held. Suggest when you're not using even for a few minutes put it down (somewhere safe). Obviously if you carry around your neck for long periods it can be uncomfortable.

**Q: does the Tamron SP AF 70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD [IF] Macro Lens for Pentax come with the 5yr guarntee**
A: Yes, 5 year warranty covers this lens. You have to register with tamron after purchase via email or post.

**Q: Hi has anyone used it on a nikon d3100 model? Is the lens compatible with nikon d3100?**
A: This is a very heavy lens I have only used it on a Canon 450d and a 6d  so perhaps its compatible with Nikon cps and full frame cameras but I found it slow to focus so I stuck with my Canon l series lens instead so perhaps you may be better with Nikon lenses instead

**Q: Can this lens be used with a nikon d7000**
A: It Sure can the advantage of the D7000 it has both mounts in one the D7000's lens mount includes both a mechanical AF coupling for older "screw-drive" autofocus lenses, as well as AF electrical contacts for the latest AF-IF or AF-S Nikkor lenses with internal focus motors.So it will be fine on the d7000

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tamron 70-200 sp af f2.8 DI LD (IF) Macro Lens for Canon
*by R***N on 15 August 2012*

This is my second one! After my previous one was accidentally knocked out of my hand by a staggering drunkard at a gig, I was offered the same lens by my insurance company and was I thrilled? Yup! This is without a doubt the best lens in my collection. I use it for gigs, landscapes, close ups of insects and much more, despite owning a brilliant Tamron 90 macro lens! It is incredibly sharp, with practically no distortion when wide open at f2.8. Having become used to the push-me-pull-me eccentricity of switching from manual to autofocus, I now prefer this method. I can photograph people unposed, acting naturally (we all know how hard it is to pose children) and get brilliant close up, 'bokeh' portraits. Oh, and if you want to photograph sports, then again this is a great lens for you. It's incredibly well priced and Tamron have got it absolutely right with this lens. It is a heavy lens, so you might need a tripod, but for me I find using it hand held very easy, as it is such a fast lens. It has a five star rating, but if I could give it a 10 star I would want to expand that further to 100!
