Featuring a versatile 17-70mm focal range with a constant f/2.8 aperture, advanced vibration compensation optimized with AI, and superior optical construction including GM and hybrid aspherical elements, this lens delivers exceptional image quality and video stabilization. Its close focusing capability and weather-resistant build make it an essential tool for professionals and enthusiasts seeking creative freedom and reliability. ## Description The 17-70mm is a fast aperture standard zoom lens with APS mirrorless cameras. Fast, sharp, quiet, and small—this new APS-C zoom lens is extraordinarily versatile and perfect for everyday photography. This groundbreaking lens achieves an exceptional balance of versatile zoom capability and superior image fidelity, setting a new standard with its 17-70mm focal length range and impressive F2.8 aperture, specifically designed for APS-C cameras. This versatile zoom lens lets you enjoy shooting in a multitude of genres, from wide-angle scenes to telephoto moments. With a focal length range of 17mm to 70mm (a full-frame equivalent of 25.5-105mm), this is the world's first fast-aperture F2.8 standard zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras to achieve a 4.1x zoom ratio. The optical design ensures high resolution and high contrast not just in the center of the image but also in corners and at the edges. The 17-70mm F2.8 maintains its fast F2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range (unlike variable aperture lenses where the maximum aperture changes as you zoom). The 17-70mm F2.8 allows you to capture your subjects with clear details from wide-angle to telephoto. It was created in pursuit of superior optical performance, utilizing an effective allocation of two GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements and one aspherical hybrid lens element. The 17-70mm F2.8 is a standard zoom lens that's ideal for not only still photography but also for video shooting. It has minimal focus breathing, an undesirable phenomenon in which the angle of view changes depending on the focusing distance during videography. A quiet RXD AF drive motor and VC image stabilization mechanism facilitate hand-held video shooting. The 17-70mm F2.8 utilizes TAMRON's highly regarded VC image stabilization system to maximize the inherent optical performance of the lens. It reduces the degradation of picture quality caused by minute camera shake that is likely to occur during hand-held shooting at slow shutter speeds under low-light conditions indoors or at dusk. When shooting video, image stabilization leveraging AI technology will automatically perform the best compensation for different shooting situations. The AF drive on the 17-70mm F2.8 includes an RXD motor unit to help you stay focused on the action. RXD uses an actuator to precisely control the rotational angle of the motor, allowing it to directly drive the focusing lens without passing through a reduction gear. A sensor that precisely detects the position of the lens enables high-speed and accurate AF, which is ideal when shooting continually moving subjects or recording video. This advanced lens focuses extremely close for a standard zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras. The MOD is just 0.19m (7.5 in) at the wide-angle end and 0.39m (15.4 in) at the telephoto end. When shooting very close to the subject, the lens enables expressive imagery with highly blurred backgrounds, a feature unique to fast-aperture lenses. This allows you to create one-of-a-kind photos of a variety of subjects, from snapshots to portraits, landscapes, and even architectural photography. ## Features - World’s first high-speed standard zoom lens for APS-C cameras with the focal length range of 17-70mm 4.1x zoom ratio - Outstanding optical performance with 16 elements in 12 groups featuring two GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens -elements and one hybrid aspherical lens element - Upgraded VC effective in combination with Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras, leveraging AI for video shooting - Close focusing capability with MOD of just 7.5” at 17mm / 15.4" at 70mm - Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B08PFNNKCC | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,603 in Electronics (See Top 100 in Electronics) #10 in Mirrorless Camera Lenses | | Brand | Tamron | | Built In Media | Front cap, rear cap | | Camera Lens | 17-70mm | | Color | Black | | Compatible Camera Models | Sony A6100, Sony A6400, Sony A6600, etc. | | Compatible Camera Mount | Sony E | | Compatible Devices | Sony E-mount | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,768) 4.7 out of 5 stars | | Effective Still Resolution | 20 MP | | Focal Length Description | 17-70mm | | Focus Type | Auto/Manual | | Has Self Timer | No | | Image Stabilization | Optical | | Item Type Name | Sony mirrorless lens. | | Item Weight | 544 g | | Lens | Standard | | Lens Coating Description | Fluorine and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating | | Lens Color | Black | | Lens Design | Zoom | | Lens Fixed Focal Length | 17 Millimeters | | Lens Mount | Sony E | | Manufacturer | Tamron | | Manufacturer Part Number | B070S | | Maximum Aperture | 2.8 Millimeters | | Maximum Focal Length | 70 Millimeters | | Maximum Shutter Speed | 1/32000 seconds | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Minimum Aperture | 22 | | Minimum Focal Length | 17 Millimeters | | Model Name | AFB070S700 | | Model Number | AFB070S700 | | Number Of Diaphragm Blades | 9 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Photo Filter Size | 67 Millimeters | | Real Angle Of View | 79 Degrees | | Screen Size | 67 Millimeters | | Shooting Modes | Portrait, landscape, automatic | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upc | 094148363646 725211700012 | | Video Capture Format | 4K | | Warranty Description | One Year | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 1:4.8 (WIDE) / 1:5.2 (TELE | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tamron - **Camera lens description:** 17-70mm - **Compatible mountings:** Sony E - **Focal length description:** 17-70mm - **Lens type:** Standard ## Images ![17-70mm F/2.8 DI III-A VC Rxd Lens For Sony UAE Version with UAE Warranty Support - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81juQWqBtYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern Name, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Kind of hard picking between this and the sigma trio.
