Key Features

   F2 Advantage

• Beautiful bokeh that cannot be produced by F2.8 lenses
• Ideal for even lower light shooting conditions than achieved with F2.8
• Allows for faster shutter speeds for less camera or subject movement
• Allows use of lower ISO settings for less noise

Feature Compatibility

• Fully compatible with Sony’s main camera-specific features and functions
• Fast Hybrid AF
• Eye AF
• Direct Manual Focus (DMF)
• In-camera lens correction (shading, chromatic aberration, distortion)
• Camera-based lens unit firmware updates

VXD Focusing System

• The AF drive system employs TAMRON’sVXD linear motor focus mechanism. While operating faster than ever before, the drive also maintains positional accuracy down to 0.005mm (0.0002 in), less than one-tenth the width of a human hair!
• Electro-control Floating System
• 2 linear focus units activate electronically, synchronizing with each other•Keeps whole focusing system compact and lightweight
• Compensates for various aberrations
• Realizes clear image and resolution from wide to tele
• Proprietary focus system features a linear motor that supports precision accuracy and control of the “Stop Position”, even during high-speed operation, to achieve unprecedented AF speed
• Accuracy and tracking capability are dramatically improved
• Extremely quiet-useful in both still and video applications where near-silence is required
