Tamron updates 17-50mm lens for shaky hands
September 4th, 2009 | 
Author: Not to be outdone Tamron offers up a wide angle lens with stabilization. The wide angle is still the last lens I want for my collection, but I think I will look more towards the 10-20 or 12-24mm range. But the really cool thing is that stabilization is making it’s way into all sorts of lens models these days.
Tamron has updated its higher-end 17-50mm zoom lens with its vibration compensation technology to counteract camera motion.

Tamron announces six lenses at PMA
Tamron has launched six new lenses at the PMA trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Among the newcomers is the SP AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD (IF) Macro billed as a lightweight, fast tele-zoom for DSLRs with a full-frame 35mm imaging sensor.
Tamron’s UK distributor Intro 2020 has confirmed a price of around £599 for this lens.
The Canon-mount version will be out in the spring with Nikon, Pentax and Sony models due at an unspecified later date.
Tamron has also unveiled a full-frame version 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro, featuring a built-in AF motor for use on Nikon DSLRs.
Meanwhile, designed to be used on APS-C size image sensor DSLRs comes the SP AF 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di II LD Aspherical (IF). It will be available in Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony versions.
Pentax DSLR users can soon expect to see the Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II LD Aspehrical IF, an APS-C format model already available in Nikon, Canon and Sony lens mounts.
Finally, Tamron has announced the development of two more APS-C size format zoom lenses with built-in AF motor for Nikon DSLRs. They are the 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II and SP 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II.
