Tamron announces the addition of Canon RF APS-C and Nikon Z mount options to its popular 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens, bringing the versatile fast-aperture zoom to even more APS-C mirrorless camera users.

The 17-70mm F/2.8 is a fast standard zoom lens for APS-C cameras. It covers a practical 4.1x zoom range while maintaining a constant F2.8 aperture throughout the full focal length range. This makes it suitable for everyday photography, travel, portraits, street photography and video.

The focal length corresponds to 25.5-105mm on Nikon Z APS-C cameras and 27.2-112mm on Canon RF APS-C cameras. The lens includes Tamron’s VC image stabilization and a fast, quiet AF system. Focus breathing and AF noise are also suppressed, making the lens well suited for both stills and video.

The optical construction consists of 16 elements in 12 groups. The lens has a minimum object distance of 0.19m at the wide end and 0.39m at the tele end, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.8 at wide and 1:5.2 at tele.

For practical handling, the lens features a 67mm filter size, moisture-resistant construction and fluorine coating. The Canon RF mount version also includes an AF/MF switch and VC On/Off switch. Firmware updates are supported via Tamron Lens Utility for both Nikon Z and Canon RF mount versions.
