Di II: Lenses are designed for exclusive use on digital cameras with smaller-size imagers and inherit all of the benefits of our Di products. These lenses are not designed for conventional cameras and digital cameras with image sensors larger than 24mm x 16mm.  

The SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 is a lightweight, compact, fast standard zoom lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras, expanding the product concept of the popular SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 zoom lens.

In addition, portrait shots are made beautiful with the natural out-of-focus effect characteristic provided by the fast F/2.8 aperture. Additionally, a broader photographic expression through the use of faster shutter speeds as a result of the maximum aperture offers enhanced photographic pleasure. The lens boasts one of the best close-up shooting performances in the class of fast standard zoom lenses designed exclusively for digital cameras and featuring an F/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range, to ensure stress-free photographic shots at all focal lengths and distances. 

The Tamron AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] is the latest addition to the popular set of fast standard zooms. Tamron has categorized the 17-50mm as SP (Super Performance) lens - Tamron's professional grade product league. As indicated by the Di II the lens provides a reduced image circle so it is only compatible to APS-C DSLR (tested on the D200). Its field-of-view is equivalent to ~25.5-75mm (1.5x crop) on full frame cameras. The lens is available in Canon, Nikon and Sony (KM) mount. ...---The review is continued and attibuted to www.photozone.de--- click to open
