Tamron - '17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD'
Fuji X Mount
large aperture standard zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless camerasThe Tamron 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD for Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras is a versatile, high-performance lens designed to meet the needs of everyday photographers. Offering a broad focal length range of 17-70mm, this lens is the world's first F/2.8 standard zoom with a 4.1x zoom ratio for APS-C sensors. With Tamron's proprietary Vibration Compensation and a close focusing distance of just 0.19m, it delivers excellent image quality, whether you're capturing sweeping landscapes or intimate portraits. Its fast aperture allows for creative control over depth of field, ensuring beautiful background blur and sharp subject detail in every shot.
VC Image Stabilization
VC for worry-free still photography and videoThe 17-70mm F2.8 utilizes Tamron's highly regarded, proprietary VC image stabilization to maximize the inherent optical performance of the lens. It reduces the degradation of picture quality caused by minute camera shake that is likely to occur during handheld shooting at slow shutter speeds under low-light conditions indoors or at dusk. When shooting video, by leveraging AI technology, image stabilization performance improves compared to conventional models.
Rapid eXtra-silent Stepping Drive
Superb AF keeps it sharp and quietThe AF drive incorporates an RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit. RXD uses an actuator that is able to precisely control the rotational angle of the motor, allowing it to drive the focusing lens without passing through a reduction gear. The addition of a sensor that detects the position of the lens to a high degree of accuracy enables high-speed and precise AF, which allows you to maintain razor-sharp focus when shooting continually moving subjects or filming video. The lens is also remarkably quiet, eliminating concerns of drive sounds being picked up while shooting video.

Additional Features
ASLAspherical Lens – Aspherical lenses correct spherical aberrations (focus errors) in zoom lenses. They can replace several other optical elements without loss of quality, contributing to a more compact lens design.
VC (Vibration Compensation)Vibration Compensation – Tamron-developed image stabilisation that compensates for unwanted camera movement for sharper images. Shutter speeds of up to 5 EV stops slower are possible with the VC image stabiliser.
FLRFluorine Coating – Fluorine Coating protects the front lens from contamination. It prevents oil and water droplets from sticking to the surface. Fingerprints and dirt are easier to remove.
Internal Focusing (IF) SystemInternal Focus – Internal focusing prevents the barrel from extending and rotating during focusing. The lens is easier to handle and is suitable for use with polarising or gradation filters.
LD (Low Dispersion)Low Dispersion – LD elements have particularly low colour dispersion index. They reduce chromatic aberrations that appear as colour fringes on the contrast edges and reduce image sharpness.
XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) GlassExtra-Low Dispersion – XLD elements have particularly low colour dispersion index. They reduce chromatic aberrations that appear as colour fringes on the contrast edges and reduce image sharpness.
MRMoisture Resistant Construction – The lens is splash-resistant. All critical areas have special seals. Lenses with this feature are ideal for outdoor use in bad weather.
RXD (Rapid eXtra silent Drive)Rapid Extra-Silent Drive – RXD autofocus is highly responsive, making it ideal for shooting stills and video of subjects in motion. A sensor constantly detects the current focus setting, allowing the continuous autofocus (AF-C) to precisely target the rotation angle required for focus at lightning speed.
