Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (Canon RF)(B070R)

Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 The Di III-A VC RXD lens for the Canon RF system is a high-quality standard zoom lens designed specifically for APS-C mirrorless cameras. It covers an equivalent focal length of approximately 27-112mm in full-frame format, providing the flexibility needed for a variety of photography styles, from sweeping landscapes to detailed portraits.

Its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture ensures consistent exposure levels throughout the zoom range, as well as excellent low-light performance and attractive background blur. Tamron Vibration Compensation (VC) image stabilization helps reduce camera shake, allowing you to take sharper handheld photos and record smoother video.

The RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) autofocus motor ensures fast, accurate and near-silent focusing, making the lens suitable for both still photography and video. A minimum focusing distance of just 0.19m at the wide end allows for creative close-up photography with impressive magnification.

Despite its bright aperture and versatile zoom range, the lens remains compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around all day. A moisture-resistant construction and fluoride-coated front element enhance durability and reliability for outdoor shooting.
