Topping the list of improvements to the new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 lens is the incorporation of Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism. The lens maintains the maneuverability of a class-leading compact size and weight, while allowing for photographs with greater stability. The optical design has been redesigned to achieve high image quality without compromise throughout the zoom range. The new 70-180mm zoom lens features the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-troque Drive) linear motor focusing mechanism for high-speed, high-precision autofocus that works well for stills and video.

Fluorine Coating for protection and safe cleaning

The front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that is water- and oil-repellant. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints

BBAR-G2 Coating delivers stunning clarity and contrast

Tamron has long been an innovator of coating technologies that prevent ghosting and flare. Second-generation BBAR-G2 Coating is a groundbreaking advancement that provides vastly improved performance compared to the original BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating. The coating corrects for ghosting and flare to an unprecedented extent, and renders fine subject detail with true clarity and stunning contrast even under backlit conditions.
