Tamron Di A037 17-35mm
The 17-35mm f/2.8-4 zoom covers wide to ultra-wide angles in a compact 460g body with weather sealing and a fluorine-coated front element. Its silent OSD autofocus and 0.28m minimum focus distance enable close-up work with background blur, supported by tap-in console compatibility.
