Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 SP Di II LD Aspherical (IF) B001E camera lens

Ultra-wide zoom for APS-C DSLRs

The Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 SP Di II LD Aspherical (IF) B001E is a zoom lens built for digital SLR cameras with APS-C sensors. It covers a 10-24mm focal range that translates to a 15-36mm equivalent on standard APS-C bodies and a 16-38.4mm equivalent on Canon APS-C models. The variable maximum aperture runs from f/3.5 to f/4.5, stopping down to f/22-29. A micromotor drives autofocus without full-time manual override.

Mount choice and filter thread

The lens is offered in Canon EF, Nikon F (DX), Pentax KAF and Sony Alpha mounts, so it fits directly onto the matching DSLR system without adapters. Its 77mm front thread accepts standard circular filters and the supplied flower-shaped hood. Internal focusing keeps the barrel from extending, which helps when using polarisers or graduated filters. The minimum focus distance of 0.24m (9.45") allows close-up work at the wide end.

Hood, case and close-up capability

A petal-type hood and a protective case ship in the box, providing flare control and storage protection straight away. The optical design delivers a maximum magnification ratio of 1:51, the highest in its class, letting you capture detailed near-macro subjects. The 2.4x zoom ratio and angle of view exceeding 108° at the wide end give compositional flexibility for architecture, landscapes and interior scenes.
