User Ratings & Reviews:

The Tamron SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD [IF] MACRO Lens for Canon, enables you to master the expression of real depth by creating soft-focus backgrounds to emphasize the crisp, clean lines of your subjects, or take advantage of fast shutter speeds to catch action at a distance. This high-performance fast lens gives you the mobility you need to capture outstanding telephoto zoom images—majestic scenery, stunning portraits, sports action, and more.

This lens boasts a minimum focus distance of 0.95m over the entire zoom range, the best performance in its class. This makes large-aperture telephoto zoom photography possible over a longer shooting range. The lens also has a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.1 (at 200mm, with a minimum focus distance of 0.95m), enabling you to enjoy close-up macro photography of flowers, insects, and other tiny objects.

This zoom lens uses three LD (low dispersion) elements which effectively compensates for chromatic aberrations providing edge-to-edge sharpness and high-contrast image quality with flat-field characteristics over the entire zoom range. Moreover, through the use of “Internal Surface Coatings (i.e., multiple-layer coatings on cemented surfaces of plural elements)” and multiple-layer coatings to prevent reflections from lens surfaces is reduced to the absolute minimum.

Features:

  • Lightweight large-aperture telephoto zoom
  • Minimum focus distance of 0.95m throughout the range plus 1:3.1 for excellent macro shooting
  • Bright viewing at all focal lengths
  • Ability to shot in lower-lit situations at full zoom
