Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Lens for Nikon F

Focal Length and Aperture:

Wide-angle prime lens designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs.

Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture for excellent low-light performance and creative depth of field control.

Optical Design:

One Low Dispersion (LD) element and one eXtra Low Dispersion (XLD) element help minimize chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and reduced color fringing.

Two aspherical elements correct spherical and comatic aberrations, as well as distortion, for consistent edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.

eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coatings reduce surface reflections, lens flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy.

Vibration Compensation (VC):

VC image stabilization minimizes the effects of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting in low-light conditions.

Autofocus System:

Ring-type Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) motor provides fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance suitable for both stills and video recording.

Full-time manual focus control allows manual adjustments without switching to a dedicated MF mode.

Floating System:

Floating System moves a single group of elements to control focus, providing faster AF response, a minimum focusing distance of 7.9″, and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.5 for enhanced close-up shooting.

Build and Protection:

Moisture-resistant construction with seals around the lens mount and other areas enhances durability in inclement conditions.

Fluorine coating on the front lens element repels water, fingerprints, and smudges for easier cleaning.

Diaphragm:

Rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with shallow depth of field techniques.
