This new model has an optical construction of 20 elements in 15 groups. The precision combination of multiple special lens elements including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), three LD (Low Dispersion), two GM (Glass Molded Aspherical), and one hybrid aspherical lenses further enhance the correction of chromatic and various other aberrations. Additionally, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating suppresses ghosting and flare to enable the crisp and clear rendition of images and to assure high resolving power that captures subjects in minute detail. Another feature is the beautiful, soft bokeh that the bright F2.8 aperture provides, vastly expanding the breadth of expressive possibilities available to you.

It's also highly effective when shooting in low-light conditions that often lead to camera shake, like evening and low-light conditions or dimly lit indoor scenes. Moreover, using AI technologies, the lens selects the appropriate compensation characteristics for videography at focal lengths of 100mm or less to powerfully support the inherent optical performance of the lens.You Never Miss Decisive Scenes with Improved Fast and Precise AF Tracking PerformanceThe AF drive of the lens employs the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. With astoundingly agile performance representing a high mark in TAMRON's history, this AF system faithfully fulfills the intentions of the photographer with an extraordinary precision of 0.005mm, less than one-tenth the width of a human hair.
