Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 DI LD
The Advent of an ideal Ultra
Wide-angle zoom lens, well balanced in all aspects..with
its superb image quality, compact size and excellant
operational ease, this ultra wide-angle zoom lens lets
you enjoy dynamic image composition by exaggerating your
main subject against a wide background. Create
fascinating wide-angle images!
"DI (Digitally Integrated Design) is a designation
Tamron puts on lenses featuring optical systems designed
to meet the performance characteristics of Digital SLR
Cameras as well as film cameras. Tamaron's new Ultra
Wide-angle zoom lens starts at 17mm when used with a
conventional 35mm SLR camera. When mounted on an APS-size
Digital SLR Camera, it provides a focal length coverage
equivalent to a 28-55mm, covering the desirable
wide-angle to standard range.
With its Maximum Magnification Ratio of 1:5.4 at the
35mm setting, this Ultra Wide-angle zoom enables you to
take a close-up of a large flower. The M.O.D of only
30cm (11.8") throughout the zoom range lets you get
close to the subject so that you can enjoy creative
image composition by emphasizing and exaggerating your
main subject against a wide background.
Tamron's 17-35mm DI features a maximum open aperture of
F/2.8 at the 17mm setting, providing you with the
advantage of shooting in dimly-lit conditions and
helping to prevent camera shake that leads to blurred
subjects. The fast f/2.8 aperture also contributes to a
professional look with a beautifull blurred effect in
the background : even at wide-angle where depth-of-field
is commonly deeper.
Tamron's 17-35mm DI uses 3 aspherical elements ,
effectively minimizing various abberations. By using
Hybrid Aspherical lens elements, the number of elements
in this lens is reduced since even one aspherical
element can compensate for the same abberations as it
would take several spherical elements to do. The end
result is both high image quality and compactness in
this new wltra wide-angle zoom lens.
Tamron's 17-35mm DI features an LD (low dispertion)
lens, which is made of special glass materials that have
low dispertion indices to confine dispertion of spectra,
a cause of chromatic abberations, to the absolute
minimum, and provides sharp and clear images even at the
corners. |
