High-precision lens-making technology delivers breakthrough
lens specifications and optical performance
First-ever Ultra Wide-angle
10-24mm Focal Length Range
This ultra wide-angle zoom lens for digital SLR cameras, with the first-ever focal
length range of 10-24mm – the 35mm equivalent of 16mm ultra wide-angle to
37mm semi-wide-angle – is a perfect tool for creating dramatic landscape, citysca-
pe, and seascape imagery. At the ultra wide-angle setting, you’ll be able to capture
vistas beyond what the eye can see. At the semi-wide-angle setting, you’ll capture
scenes with angles of view almost as spectacular. Building on Tamron’s existing
ultra wide-angle zoom lens (11-18mm F/4.5-5.6), this versatile lens expands the
focal length range and enhances the maximum aperture – in a lightweight, com-
pact form.
The optical system within this zoom lens uses three large-aperture glass-molded aspherical
lenses, as well as three hybrid aspherical lenses, which minimize spherical aberrations,
coma, and distortion. This lens has earned its place within Tamron’s SP (Super Perfor-
mance) series.
The close focusing capability of this lens lets you capture images with an exaggerated
perspective at the 10mm ultra wide-angle end or shoot with a maximum magnification
ratio of 1:5 at the 24mm semi-wide-angle setting. You will enjoy the freedom of crea-
ting close-ups at the minimum focusing distance of 0.24m throughout the zoom range.

NOTE: Vignetting occurs when pictures are taken with a Di II lens mounted on a full-size format SLRs camera
or a digital SLRs with a image sensor larger than 24 x 16mm.

Di II lenses are designed exclusively for digital SLRs with APS-C size imagers. This series of lenses are not

NOTE: The angles of view obtained by a “Di” lens mounted on a digital camera with smaller-size imagers dif-
fer from those obtained by the same lens mounted on a full-size format SLRs.
Digitally integrated design.
Di 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.

Since the size of 35mm film format is
larger than the image sensor general-
ly used in D-SLRs, a digital camera
captures a narrower angle of view
than a 35mm film camera even at the
same focal length settings. Tamron's
Di-II lenses, made exclusively for digi-
tal SLR cameras, provide ideal focal
lengths to cover the range desired by
D-SLR shooters.

Attempts to design shorter focal lengths inevitably result in
a larger lens diameter. Tamron has solved this problem by
designing the size of the lens’ image circle to match that
of smaller-size image sensors. In the compact design, it is
almost comparable to a lens offering the same angles of
view in 35mm film format.
*When pictures are taken with a Di II lens mounted on a
35mm film camera, image corners become dark (ie., vignet-
ting becomes noticeable).
