Tamron introduced a pair of DSLR lenses, including the SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD, carrying a $1,500 suggested retail.

Commack, N.Y. – Tamron introduced this week two more lens packages for DSLR users.

Tamron’s SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD will be available in mounts for Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras for a $1,500 suggested retail, and the 90mm F/2.8 Di VC USD 90mm macro prime lens will be available for Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts at $850.

The SP 90mm F/2.8 Di VC USD macro offer vibration compensation and an ultra-silent drive system.

The lens employs two extra-low dispersion glasses and one low dispersion element to reduce chromatic aberrations. A new extended bandwidth and angular-dependency coating “delivers a dramatic improvement in antireflection performance-significantly reducing flare and ghosting for clearer, crisper images,” the company said.

The SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD offers high contrast and high resolution throughout the zoom range, Tamron said. A multi-layer coating technology improves lens performance by reducing flare and ghosting for crisper, clearer images.
