Overview

The Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a second-generation professional zoom lens designed for Nikon F-mount cameras. Covering the most versatile focal range in photography, it delivers sharp, detailed images from wide-angle landscapes at 24mm to flattering portraits at 70mm, all with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. The inclusion of Vibration Compensation sets it apart from many competing lenses in this class, giving handheld shooters a meaningful advantage in low-light situations and when working at the longer end of the zoom range.

Tamron has equipped this G2 version with advanced optical coatings including eBAND coating to suppress ghosting and flare, and a fluorine front element coating that repels moisture, dust, and fingerprints. The USD autofocus motor delivers fast, near-silent focusing that works well for both photography and video applications. Combined with moisture-resistant construction throughout, this lens is built to perform reliably in the field, making it a compelling option for wedding, event, portrait, and general-purpose professional photography on Nikon DSLRs.
