Tamron AF 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II XR LD Aspherical VC - Good Condition | Fast Standard Zoom for Sony A-Mount APS-C

The Tamron AF 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II XR LD Aspherical VC is a serious and highly capable fast standard zoom designed specifically for APS-C sensor cameras — delivering a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture across the entire 17-50mm range, equivalent to 25.5-75mm on Sony A-mount bodies. XR (Extra Refractive Index) and LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements work together to control chromatic aberration and distortion across the zoom range, while the Aspherical elements ensure edge-to-edge sharpness. Built-in VC (Vibration Compensation) adds a further practical advantage for handheld shooting in challenging conditions. A professional-grade zoom at an accessible price point — ideal for portraits, events, travel, and everyday photography. Serial number SR 023458.

"The 17-50mm f/2.8 VC is one of the smartest choices you can make for an APS-C standard zoom. The constant f/2.8 aperture and built-in stabilisation make it a genuinely capable low-light performer, and the Tamron Di II optics deliver results that stand up against much more expensive glass. In Sony A-mount this is a versatile and compelling buy."
