EISA Award for "Best Product" Winner 2024-2025 - The 70-180mm f/2.8 G2 is an evolution of the first generation of the highly acclaimed 70-180mm zoom lens, which has received much attention since its market launch and has now been improved in several ways. The most significant innovation is the integration of the VC image stabilizer developed by Tamron. Despite this new feature, which allows for sharper images even at longer shutter speeds, the 70-180mm f/2.8 G2 remains the most compact and lightweight lens in its class. The revised optical design of the 70-180mm f/2.8 G2 achieves uncompromisingly high image quality across the entire focal length range. At 70 mm, the shortest focusing distance is only 0.3 m, which is an improvement of 0.55 m and significantly expands the creative possibilities of this fast telephoto zoom lens. The new model version is equipped with Tamron's proven VXD autofocus (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) with a linear motor, which focuses quickly and precisely on the subject for both photos and videos. The lens is compatible with the Tamron Lens Utility and the Tamron Lens Utility Mobile App. Both applications have been developed by Tamron and allow for custom configuration of the lens to optimally adapt its functionality to the specific shooting situation. The new lens design impresses with its user-friendly operation and scratch-resistant surface.
