Economically priced and offering a little extra

This standard zoom for Canon EOS, Nikon AF-D or Minolta Dynax users gives an extra 10mm of zoom range at the tele end compared to many standards – a particularly useful feature if you're into portraiture. The use of hybrid aspherics helps to produce exceptional images and an extremely compact optic at the lightest possible weight, resulting in a lens that is easy to carry and handle.

The perfect partner for the AF28-80mm is the AF70-300mm F/4-5.6 LD Macro telephoto zoom.

NOMENCLATURE

Hybrid aspherical constructionASLAspherical

Tamron uses several hybrid aspherical lens elements in its lenses bearing the Aspherical designation. These innovative optics achieve the ultimate in image quality while producing lenses that offer remarkable zoom ranges in extraordinarily compact packages. These cutting-edge advances have advanced the state of optical design by virtually eliminating spherical aberration and image distortion from Tamron's high-power-zoom series.

As one hybrid aspherical lens element can take the place of multiple elements without compromising performance, remarkably compact long-range lenses can now deliver a uniformly high level of image quality across all focal lengths and apertures.

Specifications, design, product name and standard accessories may differ by country or area. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, these matters are subject to change by the manufacturer without notice or obligation.
