Description

The Tamron SP 10-24mm marks a shift in your collection from vintage film era manual glass to the modern digital era. The "Di II" designation indicates that this lens was designed specifically for digital SLR cameras with APS-C (crop) sensors. On a crop sensor, this gives you an effective focal length of roughly 15-36mm, making it an incredible tool for dramatic landscapes, real estate photography, and tight interior shots. Technically, this is an Internal Focusing [IF] lens, meaning the physical length of the lens doesn't change when you focus, and the front element doesn't rotate—a huge plus for using the 77mm Hoya HMC UV(C) filter currently attached. The "SP" (Super Performance) badge is Tamron’s way of saying this was part of their professional-tier lineup, featuring low-dispersion (LD) glass to prevent color fringing.
