Please note that these new cameras do not provide mechanical linkage to the lens gearing for Auto Focus and require that the lens have its own motor to operate the auto focus system. Tamron is currently transitioning the focus system in their lens line to work with this new system. They designate these lenses as BIM (Built-In Motor) and the Nikon mount version has NII stated in the model number.
The SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 is a lightweight, compact, fast standard zoom lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras, expanding the product concept of the popular SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 zoom lens.
In addition, portrait shots are made beautiful with the natural out-of-focus effect characteristic provided by the fast F/2.8 aperture. Additionally, a broader photographic expression through the use of faster shutter speeds as a result of the maximum aperture offers enhanced photographic pleasure. The lens boasts one of the best close-up shooting performances in the class of fast standard zoom lenses designed exclusively for digital cameras and featuring an F/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range, to ensure stress-free photographic shots at all focal lengths and distances.
