The 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is an advanced version of the highly acclaimed 70-180mm zoom lens, which has garnered significant attention since its launch. This new model retains its fast F/2.8 aperture and continues to offer 180mm at telephoto, while remaining the most compact and lightweight lens in its class. The revised optical construction of the 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 achieves exceptional optical performance with impressively high image quality across the entire focal length range, thanks to the precise combination of special glass, including XLD and LD lens elements. The 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 combines maximum mobility, ease of use, and functionality worthy of the "G2" label, providing a unique shooting experience and enhancing enjoyment when using a fast telephoto zoom lens.

The new 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 features the proven VXD Linear Focus Motor, which offers class-leading speed and precision for fast and accurate focusing. The precise revised calculations improve the tracking of moving subjects, ensuring that you don't miss any crucial scenes when taking photos or videos. Additionally, the 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is equipped with Tamron's VC mechanism, which suppresses camera shake that can occur when shooting at telephoto range, focusing close up, or in poor lighting conditions, enabling sharper results.

Shooting at close range, which was previously only possible with manual focusing on the first-generation model, is now achievable with autofocus on the 70-180mm F/2.8 G2. Tamron has successfully reduced the focusing distance at 70mm to 0.3 meters. With the largest possible reproduction scale of 1:2.6, the lens offers unique opportunities for expressing your creativity.

The 70-180mm F/2.8 G2 is compatible with the Tamron Lens Utility software developed by Tamron, allowing you to customize various functions of the lens or update the lens firmware.
