About the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di Zoom Lens
Tamron's sharp 28-75mm zoom lens gives you a versatile focal range and superior light gathering for non-flash photography. Unlike many lenses whose aperture and brightness decrease as you zoom closer to your subject, this Tamron features a large maximum aperture of f/2.8 which remains constant throughout the zoom range. That means your images stay bright as you zero in, and your exposure values remain unchanged — a very handy feature when shooting manually. This lens makes an excellent replacement for the kit lenses that frequently come supplied with many digital SLRs.
Great mid-distance and closeup shooting
The focal range and large aperture of this lens make it ideal for indoor photography and mid-range telephoto shooting. And it's great for portraits — you can softly blur unnecessary background details while making your crisply focused subject pop from the photo. It also offers an extra-close focusing distance for capturing detailed closeups.
Optimized for digital SLRs
Tamron's Di series lenses are optimized for digital cameras, and boast internal surface coatings designed to eliminate ghosting and flare. The compact design features specialized lens elements for superior optical performance. And the supplied lens hood (not pictured) allows better shooting in bright light.

Features
Overview: The Tamron SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di (Model A09E) is an accessory lens, specifically designed for use with Canon digital SLR cameras. It has the standard Canon EF mount.
SP-Series Lens: Tamron's SP (Super Performance) series is a line of high performance lenses with high design specifications. This series of lenses featuring impressive and innovative design are concept models among Tamron lenses.
Di Lenses: Tamron Di (Digitally Integrated Design) lenses are designed to fit the characteristics of digital cameras as well as film cameras by paying attention to countermeasures against ghosting and flare through such advances as special coatings.
F/2.8 Fast Zoom: The lens' F2.8 maximum aperture remains constant throughout the zoom range, even at telephoto. This allows the use of the same high shutter speed, even when the lens is zoomed to prevent camera shake and freeze motion.
Optical Features: This lens has the following optical features:
- Aspherical Elements (ASL): The use of Tamron's exclusive Hybrid Aspherical elements provides the ultimate in compactness and image quality.
- Low Dispersion Glass (LD): The use of Low Dispersion (LD) glass elements greatly reduces the effect of chromatic aberration, a form of optical noise, and dramatically increases image sharpness.
- Internal Focusing (IF): Tamron's Internal Focusing System enhances lens maneuverability and reduces the Minimum Focus Distance (M.F.D.) throughout its entire focal length.
- Extra Refractive Glass (XR): Through the innovative use of XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass, the overall size (diameter and barrel length) of the lens was reduced, while maintaining the same aperture values as previous lenses.
Lens Hood: A bayonet-type lens hood is provided with the lens. The lens hood prevents stray light from entering the lens, which can be harmful to the picture. When not in use, the lens hood can be inverted and stored on the lens. The lens hood adds approximately 1-1/2" length to the lens. Note: Using the camera's built-in flash with the lens hood in place can cause shadows to appear on the image.
Focus Modes: The lens can be used in either Automatic or Manual Focus modes. When you switch the camera to manual focus, you can focus on your subject by rotating the focus ring on the lens.
Manual Zoom: You can manually zoom in or out by rotating the zooming ring of the lens while viewing your subject through the camera's viewfinder and compose your image at the chosen focal length.
