The 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is an evolution of the first generation of the highly acclaimed 70-180mm zoom lens, which has received much attention since its launch and has now been improved in several ways. The most significant innovation is the integration of the VC image stabiliser developed by TAMRON. Despite this new feature that allows for sharper images even at longer shutter speeds, the 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 continues to be the most compact and lightweight lens in its class.
Like the first generation model, the 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is characterised by an exceptionally handy design. Despite the high f/2.8 aperture, 180mm focal distance and built-in VC image stabilizer, it is the most compact and lightweight lens in its class, with a length of 156.5mm (at 70mm focal length) and a weight of only 855g. The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is easy to carry and forms a well-balanced unit in combination with the camera.
The optical construction of the new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 includes 20 elements in 15 groups. The arrangement of the lenses has been completely revised and includes several carefully placed special lenses. These minimize chromatic aberrations and other image errors and ensure consistently high resolution across the entire focal length range. The large aperture of F/2.8 in turn allows the popular bokeh effect with velvety soft background blur
The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 features the proven VXD autofocus with linear motor, which was already installed in the first product generation. This AF system offers the fastest and most precise focusing of all Tamron lenses and further improved performance in AF tracking of dynamic subjects such as athletes or vehicles.
Sony E-Mount: e.g. Sony Alpha 7 Series, Alpha 6000 Series
The lens is compatible with the new Tamron Lens Utility software developed by Tamron to configure your own lenses. If the lens is connected to a computer or Android smartphone running the software via a USB-C cable, various functions can be individually configured and the firmware of the lens can be updated.
