Tamron SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) Macro

[Admin]

Tamron announced yet another lens at this year's PMA show, the SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) MACRO. This fast telezoom gets in close thanks to its 0.95m minimum focus distance, realizing a magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at 200mm. Plenty of coatings keep stray light to a minimum whilst a removable tripod mount and clutched focus ring (Canon and Nikon only) help speed up operations. Canon users will see the lens first with release scheduled for March. Nikon, Sony and Pentax fittings will follow.

Looks good. I assume it doesnt have a SWM/HSM/USM motor in it though.

They say it should have a motor so it would focus on all Nikon DSLRs.

It probably won't have an ultra sonic motor, though

It will be interesting to see what the R.R.P. is on these.​
