TAMRON Objektiv SP 70-200mm 2,8 Di VC USD G2 for Nikon
The new SP70-200mm F/2.8 G2 (Model A025) telephoto lens reimagines the highly acclaimed Model A009 with enhanced optical performance, improved VC (Vibration Compensation), faster AF speed and accuracy, and shortened MOD (Minimum Object Distance) for greater flexibility. What’s more, compatibility with Tamron tele converters provides additional focal length.
In keeping with the SP series’ innovative technology, the lens is designed to be durable, flexible and resilient enough to rise to any occasion.
High resolution meets beautiful bokeh
Every aspect of the SP 70-200mm F/2.8 G2 (Model A025) zoom has been improved, providing high image quality and enhanced bokeh throughout. Optical design features include XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) glass to eliminate chromatic aberrations across the entire zoom range, ensuring optimum resolution— even at the edges. eBAND Coating designed exclusively for this new zoom offers superior anti- reflection properties, greatly minimizing flare and ghosting. And refined bokeh provides spectacular background effects from nearly any angle.
MOD reduced to 0.95m
Improvements to the new SP 70-200mm F/2.8 G2 extend well into the lens barrel. Tamron has reduced the MOD from 1.3m (50.7 in) in our older model to 0.95m (37.4 in), allowing a maximum magnification ratio of 1:6.1. The shorter MOD, coupled with the superb optical performance of this new zoom, allows you to significantly broaden your range of expression.
Accuracy in action
The USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) ring-type motor, along with two high-performance microcomputers, ensures excellent focusing speed and accuracy. The Full-time Manual Focus override allows you to make fine adjustments while using AF, without having to switch from AF to MF mode.
Keep it steady with VC equal to 5 stops
Tamron’s best-in-class VC* image stabilization performance is equivalent to 5 stops**, according to CIPA standards. Plus, this lens offers a choice of three VC modes, including one exclusively for panning. Now you can match the VC mode to your shooting conditions and enjoy sharp, jitter-free handheld shooting—even in low light.

The compact alternative of the SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 for Sony E-Mount
The 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD practically corresponds to its "sister lens" 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 with respect to performance, which was developed for single lens reflex cameras from Canon and Nikon. The two classic, fast telephoto zoom lenses offer an open aperture of F/2.8, a fast and precise autofocus and a comparably high image quality. Due to their almost identical focal length range, they are equally suitable for a variety of demanding shooting situations and are for example often used in portrait and sports photography.
Optional accessories
Expand Your Options with TAP-in Console
The future is here. Now you can update firmware, customize autofocus positions and adjust the mechanical setup and preferences of the SP 70-200mm 2.8 G2 by simply attaching it to the TAMRON TAP-in Console and connecting it via USB to a personal computer.
Additional product features
DMPU (Dual Micro-Processing Unit)
Dual Microprocessing Unit – Lenses with DMPU are characterised by their particularly high performance. The dual processor processes the digital signals from the autofocus and the VC image stabiliser in parallel to achieve razor-sharp image results even in dynamic shooting situations.
Internal Focusing (IF) System
Internal Focus – Internal focusing prevents the barrel from extending and rotating during focusing. The lens is easier to handle and is suitable for use with polarising or gradation filters.
Zoom Lock (ZL) Mechanism
Zoom Lock – The ZL mechanism prevents unwanted extension of the tube during transport. The lock, which is activated by a switch, protects the lens from damage and at the same time guarantees that it is quickly ready for use.
LD (Low Dispersion)
Low Dispersion – LD elements have particularly low colour dispersion index. They reduce chromatic aberrations that appear as colour fringes on the contrast edges and reduce image sharpness.
eBAND Coating
Extended Bandwidth and Angular Dependency – The eBAND coating consists of an ultra-thin nanostructure (1 nm = 1/1.000.000 mm) with a very low refractive index. In combination with the multi-coating, an outstanding anti-reflective effect is achieved.
FLR
Fluorine Coating – Fluorine Coating protects the front lens from contamination. It prevents oil and water droplets from sticking to the surface. Fingerprints and dirt are easier to remove.
MR
Moisture Resistant Construction – The lens is splash-resistant. All critical areas have special seals. Lenses with this feature are ideal for outdoor use in bad weather.
USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive)
Ultrasonic Silent Drive – Ultrasonic autofocus motors are usually found in high-quality DSLR lenses. USD technology converts ultrasonic waves into torque and eliminates the need for gearing between the motor and the focus unit. This guarantees precise, fast and silent focusing, which can be manually intervened in at any time.
VC (Vibration Compensation)
Vibration Compensation – Tamron-developed image stabilisation that compensates for unwanted camera movement for sharper images. Shutter speeds of up to 5 EV stops slower are possible with the VC image stabiliser.
SP
Superior Performance – The abbreviation “SP” stands for DSLR lenses that meet the highest photographic demands. Advanced optical technologies guarantee outstanding imaging performance. The lenses are also characterised by their robust design and intuitive operation.
