Product Description

The apex of telephoto lenses in a compact package, "SP 70-200mm F/2.8 DI VC USD with VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization delivers leading-edge image quality in a body that is the smallest in its class. Equipped with Tamron's proprietary USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor, this lens boasts a speedy autofocus so you can capture that one decisive moment. One special XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) glass in concert with four LD (Low Dispersion) elements minimize chromatic aberrations. This combined with a new optical design that delivers high contrast and high resolution throughout the zoom range achieves leading-edge image quality. Tamron's advanced multi-layer coating technology dramatically improves lens performance by reducing flare and ghosting for crisper, clearer images. The rounded diaphragm affords the photographer spectacular blur effects, delivering the kind of rich expression only achievable with a high-speed telephoto zoom lens. The most compact full-size, high-speed telephoto zoom lens with VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization and USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) in its class delivers superior mobility, enabling photographers to capture the previously unattainable. Features USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) to power a speedy AF drive together with a continuous manual focus mechanism. The VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization mechanism reduces camera shake to deliver sharp images. Moisture-resistant construction helps prevent moisture from penetrating the lens.

Better then expect due to description.
5 Stars
Better then expect due to description.
The way i read it. I assumed there would be some scuffed or signs of wear. It look brand new basicly. Did some test shot as soon as I received it. Very pleased with the performance of the lens.
