Tamron has just announced the new SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) MACRO Zoom lens. It is a lightweight, high-performance and fast tele-zoom lens designed for digital SLR cameras with full-size image sensors. The new SP AF70-200mm Di LD (IF) MACRO is an f/2.8 fast tele-zoom designed for full-size format SLR cameras. It inherits the product concept of the award-winning SP AF28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di standard zoom lens that is highly acclaimed for its compactness and speed, which lets photographers enjoy a high cost to performance uniqueness.

While overall dimensions are confined to the absolute minimum, the new SP AF70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD (IF) MACRO zoom lens is packed with features that allow stress-free photography: a versatile MFD (minimum focusing distance) of just 0.95m (37.4) over the entire zoom range; an excellent maximum macro magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at f=200mm; and an advantageous internal focusing (IF) system. The new tele-zoom lens enables the user to cover a desirable focal length range of 70mm medium telephoto to 200mm telephoto when mounted on full-size format SLR cameras and a focal length range from 109mm to 310mm equivalent* ultra telephoto (7°59′ angle of view) when mounted on a digital SLR camera with an APS-C sized sensor.

*The ratio Tamron uses to convert from full-size to APS-C focal length is 1.55X.
