Superior image quality
Constructed with cutting-edge Tamron elements--three elements of XR (extra-refractive index) glass, two hybrid aspherical lens elements, and one element of LD glass--this elegant piece of technology inherits Tamron's tradition of premium image quality and compact size. By incorporating Tamron's SP (super performance) and Di-II (designed exclusively for digital cameras) specifications, along with special internal surface coatings to eliminate ghosting and flare, you're guaranteed to get the superior performance you need from your digital camera.

Broadening your horizons
Tamron's SP AF17-50mm offers a wider angle than the standard 18mm zoom lenses ordinarily used with digital cameras. With a wider-angle focal length of 17mm (26mm equivalent), this lens is unbeatable for indoor photography, and for capturing full-length people shots or an entire building. The lens is also top-level in its class for minimum focus distance at 27cm (10.6 inches) across the entire zoom range, making it easier than ever to enjoy the creative combination of wide-angle and macro photography.
