About Tamron AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di OSD AF Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras
FEATURED REVIEWS
Great lens.
Super lightweight, great build quality, sharp and contrast.
Good wide-angle lens
I waited a long time after this lens was released, and regret that I did. The photos produced (using a Nikon D750 and this lens) are great. I use this lens mostly for landscape, and therefore shoot it at f/8. As such, the sharpness edge to edge is wonderful. No focus issues. I am happy to recommend this lens.
Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di OSD Lens
The new Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di OSD ultra wide-angle lens (Model A037) is designed to combine superb image quality with maximum portability. With a compact body weighing 460 grams and a filter diameter of 77mm, it can capture more of the world in amazing detail without adding unnecessary bulk to your camera bag. As part of Tamron’s “Digitally Integrated” (DI) lens series, it uses specialized glass elements to solve problems caused by conventional wide-angle lenses, particularly axial chromatic aberrations and distortions, to deliver more optimized color renditions, accurate lighting, and high levels of sharpness and contrast across the entire frame. It also utilizes new optical groupings and anti-reflection coatings to reduce ghosting and flare when shooting in bright situations. Its versatile focal length of 17-35mm covers a wide range of subjects and niches, from professional landscape photography to snapshot photography. The lens’ minimum dbject Distance of 11 inches (0.28m) and maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows for magnificent close-ups with stunning background blur, and the new OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) ensures silent and highly responsive AF. With advanced fluorine coating and leak-proof seals, it’s protected from dust, dirt, water, and oil whenever you shoot outdoors.
Wide-angle photography just got easier
The 17-35mm F/2.8-4 Di OSD (Model A037) is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that combines superb image quality with outstanding portability as the lightest and smallest size in its class.* It uses four LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements to minimize axial chromatic aberrations. And with two GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lenses it can not only provide the sharpness and contrast demanded by high-end lenses, it can also handle peripheral point image reproducibility.
Reducing reflection and controlling ghosting!
Furthermore, it has repeatedly gone through our proprietary ghosting analysis simulation employed to resist backlighting problems from strong light sources to which wide-angle lenses are often subjected. Along with an enhanced high level optical construction, the lens has BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating highly effective in reducing reflection and controlling ghosting and flare.
The Minimum Object Distance
The Minimum Object Distance (MOD) for the entire zoom range is a short 0.28m (11 in), so you can still enjoy the background blurring effect when shooting full open aperture and close-up with this ultra-wide-angle zoom. The Model A037 also has a circular aperture that gives you beautiful circular bokeh.
Optimized Silent Drive
The AF drive employs a newly developed OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) to ensure silent operation. Upgraded and optimized for even further reduction in drive noise, this drive allows the lens to be used to your heart's content in all situations where silence is required. With its greatly enhanced quality and speed, the new outstanding AF performance and tracking capabilities mean you never have to worry about missing a shot even when focusing on moving subjects.
. High-performance imaging for shooting vast landscapes in sharp detail
The optical construction (15 elements in 10 groups) uses four LD (Low Dispersion) lens elementsto minimize axial chromatic aberrations that can occur with ultra-wide-angle zoom lenses. With two properly positioned GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lenses, distortion and other aberration can be satisfactorily corrected as well.
Being the smallest and lightest in its class and dedicated to high quality imaging, the engineers have paid particular attention to size. The lens has also been carefully designed to allow peripheral point image reproducibility and thereby facilitate a high degree of sharpness and contrast.
The Minimum Object Distance (MOD) for the entire zoom range is a short 11 in., so background blurring is still possible when opening the aperture and approaching the subject close-up with this ultra-wide-angle zoom.
Advanced coating technology along with proprietary ghosting analysis simulation technology enabled the high level of backlighting control
Resistance to backlighting is extremely important for wide-angle lenses as they are often subjected to strong light sources. The Model A037 has a high level optical construction that repeatedly employs comprehensive ghosting analysis simulation. The BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating is highly effective in reducing reflection, allowing ghosting and flare throughout the entire zoom range to be controlled.
OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) enables both excellent AF speed and drive noise reduction
The AF drive system employs an OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) to ensure quiet operation. Through the innovative optimization of the system that includes AF system speed reduction gear, Tamron could greatly reduce the drive noise in comparison to conventional AF types with built-in DC motors. AF performance and speed have also been vastly improved. Thus, even if silence is required, AF can be employed without having to worry at all about noise creation. The Model A037 can provide superlative AF precision for exact focus even when shooting moving objects, as well as outstanding trackability.
Circular aperture to produce a smooth-edged bokeh
A 7-blade diaphragm is configured to retain a smooth, circular-shaped aperture opening even when stopped down by two stops from the wide-open aperture. This produces a smooth-edged bokeh in background light spots and avoids rugged aperture geometry.
Moisture-Resistant Construction
Seals are located at the lens mount area and other critical locations to prevent infiltration of moisture and/or rain drops to provide Moisture-Resistant Construction. This feature affords an additional layer of protection when shooting outdoors under adverse weather conditions.
Fluorine Coating
The surface of the front element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that has excellent water- and oil-repellant qualities. The front surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture or oily fingerprints, allowing for much easier maintenance. The coating also provides an enhanced level of durability, and will sustain its effectiveness for years.
Compatible with TAMRON TAP-in ConsoleTM, an optional accessory
The new A037 is compatible with the optional TAMRON TAP-in Console, an optional accessory product that provides a USB connection to a personal computer, enabling users to easily update a lens's firmware as well as customize features including fine adjustments to the AF.
