Description
Agility At An All-New Level
A fast-aperture telephoto zoom lens that combines outstanding portability and image quality, with reliable AF performance and image stabilization — all packed in a class-leading compact and lightweight G2 design.
The World’s Smallest And Lightest¹ F2.8 Tele-Zoom Lens — Designed To Fit Comfortably In Your Hand
The TAMRON 70-180mm G2 is an outstanding lens due to its superior performance, from high resolution image quality and mechanical performance, to build quality and versatility. It’s perfect for capturing a wide range of subjects, like portraits and action shots, with stunning clarity and detail. Even with its new features, this bright lens remains the world’s smallest and lightest in its class with a length of 6.2″ (156.5mm) and a light weight of 30.2oz. (855g)2. Its 180mm telephoto end allows for a remarkably compact body, setting it apart from bulkier 70-200mm lenses. In addition to offering the highest level of mobility, the optical design has been completely revamped from the 1st-generation model to further enhance its exceptional optical performance. With the 70-180mm F2.8 G2, TAMRON has pushed both rendering capabilities and miniaturization to the limits. These advancements amplify the joy of capturing the world around you.

The Amazing Performance Of The Fast F2.8 Aperture — Capturing The World In Vivid Detail From Portrait To Landscape Photography
The design of the 70-180mm F2.8 VC G2 has been fully redesigned from the ground up to deliver uncompromising optical performance throughout the entire zoom range. This new model has an optical construction of 20 elements in 15 groups. The precision combination of multiple special lens elements including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), three LD (Low Dispersion), two GM (Glass Molded Aspherical), and one hybrid aspherical lenses further enhance the correction of chromatic and various other aberrations. Additionally, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating suppresses ghosting and flare to enable the crisp and clear rendition of images and to assure high resolving power that captures subjects in minute detail. Another feature is the beautiful, soft bokeh that the bright F2.8 aperture provides, vastly expanding the breadth of expressive possibilities available to you. From snap photography to portraits and landscapes, enjoy a diverse range of shooting in any situation.
TAMRON’s Proprietary VC Mechanism Empowers Mobility
To help you fully enjoy its excellent portability, the 70-180mm F2.8 VC G2 is equipped with TAMRON’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization mechanism. This suppresses camera shake that tends to occur when shooting handheld at the telephoto end or during close focusing for stable shooting results. It’s also highly effective when shooting in low-light conditions that often lead to camera shake, like evening and low-light conditions or dimly lit indoor scenes. Moreover, using AI technologies, the lens selects the appropriate compensation characteristics for videography at focal lengths of 100mm or less to powerfully support the inherent optical performance of the lens.
You Never Miss Decisive Scenes With Improved Fast And Precise AF Tracking Performance
The AF drive of the lens employs the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. With astoundingly agile performance representing a high mark in TAMRON’s history, this AF system faithfully fulfills the intentions of the photographer with an extraordinary precision of 0.005mm, less than one-tenth the width of a human hair. Furthermore, these precise calculations have been applied to further enhance the tracking performance of moving objects such as vehicles and sports action, ensuring you never miss decisive scenes whether shooting still images or video. In addition, the quietness offered by the linear motor system provides nearly silent performance when using the lens in conditions where noise needs to be minimized.
Close-Focusing Of 11.8" (0.3m) Opens New Possibilities Such As Tabletop Photography
TAMRON has accepted and overcome the challenge of shortening the MOD so that photographers can enjoy greater freedom when composing images. By optimizing the optical design, close-distance shooting that was possible only with manual focus on the 1st-generation model is now possible with autofocus on the 2nd-generation 70-180mm F2.8 VC G2. Compared with its predecessor Model A056, TAMRON has succeeded in shortening the MOD (Minimum Object Distance) to 11.8” (0.3m) at the 70mm end and 33.5” (0.85m) at the 180mm end. Plus, the working distance at the 70mm end is as close as 4.7” (12cm). This expands the possibilities for expression with a single lens, allowing you to take another step forward or utilize soft, beautiful bokeh in your shots. In addition, with an outstanding maximum magnification ratio 1:2.6 at the 70mm end, you can create unique and powerful compositions that capture your subject in extreme detail. For example, with a simple zoom, you can transform a chest-up shot into a powerful headshot that captures every emotion.

We do not sell Grey Market Products
What is Grey Market?
Products that are imported and sold by anyone other than USA Authorized dealers are considered Grey Market products. These are often genuine products that were intended for other countries; therefore, they may not meet the manufacturer's specifications for US products or perform as expected, and they are not covered by a USA manufacture warranty or eligible for a USA repair service.
What are the differences as far as a customer is concerned?
In most cases, the main difference between a "USA" and a "Grey Market," or imported product is the cost of the item and the terms of the item’s warranty coverage. The products themselves are otherwise identical. As a rule, "Grey Market" items typically cost less than their USA counterparts. "Grey market" products never qualify for manufacturer's rebate programs and can not be price matched. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-333-4280.
