Fast, quiet VXD linear motor for high-precision autofocus
The AF drive system uses Tamron's VXD linear motor focusing mechanism.
The fast and high-precision autofocus is extremely responsive and offers reliable and precise focusing from the closest focusing distance to infinity despite the high speed of f/2.8. The lens offers excellent focus tracking on moving Lenses, so you are always ready for fast action. In addition, the focus motor is very quiet and is therefore ideal for photo and video recordings, even in situations that require absolute silence.

3.

Users can also choose between linear and non-linear, which affects the way the focus moves during manual focusing.

6.
Improved Lenses design for user-friendly operation
Every part of the Lens has been thought through down to the smallest detail. The result is an improved design that optimizes both operability and ergonomics. The outer surface of the lens barrel is glossy black. The improved abrasion resistance makes the lens barrel more scratch-resistant and less sensitive to fingerprints.

The lightest and most compact telephoto zoom lens in its class with F2.8 aperture and amazing performance
The 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is an evolution of the first generation of the highly acclaimed 70-180mm zoom Lenses, which has received much acclaim since its launch and has now been improved in several ways. The new model retains its fast F/2.8 aperture and, as before, offers 180mm at telephoto, while remaining the most compact and lightweight Lenses in its class. The revised optical construction of the 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 achieves uncompromising optical performance with impressively high image quality across the entire focal length range thanks to the precise combination of special glass, including XLD and LD lens elements. The 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 combines maximum mobility, ease of use and functionality worthy of the "G2" label. It offers a unique shooting experience and makes shooting with a fast telephoto zoom lens even more enjoyable.

Lightning-fast and precise VXD autofocus with significantly improved Lenses tracking and integrated VC image stabilizer
The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 features the proven VXD linear focus motor, which combines class-leading speed and precision for fast and accurate focusing. The precise revised calculations improve tracking of moving subjects and ensure that you don't miss crucial scenes when shooting stills or video. In addition, the 70-180mm F2.8 G2 is equipped with Tamron's VC mechanism. This suppresses camera shake that can occur when shooting at telephoto range, during close focusing or in poor lighting conditions, thus enabling sharper results.

Shortestfocusing distance of 0.3 m (at 70 mm) opens up new unique possibilities
Shooting at close range, which was only possible with manual focusing with the 1st generation model, is now also possible with autofocus with the 70-180mm F2.8 G2. Tamron has succeeded in reducing the focusing distance to 0.3 m at 70 mm. With the largest possible magnification of 1:2.6, the lens offers unique possibilities for expressing your own creativity.

Product features:
1.
Compact and lightweight zoom Lenses with integrated VC image stabilizer
Like the first generation model, the 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is characterized by an exceptionally handy design. Despite the high speed of F/2.8, the 180 mm telephoto focal length and the integrated VC image stabilizer, it is the most compact and lightest Lens in its class with a length of 156.5 mm (at 70 mm focal length) and a weight of only 855 g. The maximum diameter is 87 mm, and the filter size is identical to many other Tamron Lenses for mirrorless system cameras with a diameter of 67 mm. The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is easy to transport and forms a well-balanced unit in combination with the camera. Demanding freehand telephoto photography is easier and more comfortable than ever with this fast zoom lens.

2.
Revised optical construction for outstanding image quality at all focal lengths
The optical construction of the new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 comprises 20 elements in 15 groups. The lens arrangement has been completely revised and includes several carefully placed special lenses, including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), three LD (Low Dispersion) and two GM (Glass Molded aspherical) lenses as well as a hybrid aspherical lens. This combination minimizes chromatic aberrations and other image defects and ensures a consistently high resolution over the entire focal length range. The BBAR-G2 coating (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) suppresses light reflections and ghost images and ensures brilliant, high-contrast image reproduction, for example when shooting against the light. The large aperture of F/2.8 in turn enables the popular bokeh effect with velvety soft background blur.

3.
Lightning-fast and precise VXD autofocus with significantly improved object tracking
The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 features the proven VXD autofocus with linear motor, which was already installed in the first product generation. This AF system offers the fastest and most precise focusing of all TAMRON Lenses and even better performance when AF tracking dynamic subjects such as athletes or vehicles.

4.
Integrated VC image stabilizer developed by Tamron
The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is equipped with the VC image stabilization developed by Tamron. The VC mechanism ensures sharp images by effectively compensating for unwanted camera movements, for example during telephoto shots, subject tracking and close-up shots. When shooting in poorly lit indoor areas or in the dark, the VC image stabilizer makes it easier to take pictures with slower shutter speeds freehand. When filming with focal lengths of up to 100 mm, AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology ensures improved stabilization performance.

5.
Shortestfocusing distance of 0.3 m (at 70 mm) and 0.85 m (at 180 mm)
The revised optical design of the new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 allows close-up shots from a distance of just 0.3 m, which is an improvement of 0.55 m compared to the first generation model. As the distance between camera and subject is significantly shorter, this results in a particularly attractive bokeh effect. With the largest possible magnification of 1:2.6, the lens offers unique possibilities for expressing your own creativity.

6.
Flexibility with TAMRON Lens Utility™
The TAMRON 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 supports the TAMRON Lens Utility™ software for customizing lens settings, camera functions and firmware. With the Android app, functions can be conveniently controlled without touching the Lens - customizable for photo and video styles.

7.
More ease of use thanks to enhanced functionality

8.
User-friendly design (moisture-proof construction and fluorine coating)

9.
Compatible with many advanced camera functions (e.g. Fast Hybrid AF and Eye Detection AF)

10.
