The details
At a glance: Tamron SP 24-70 f/2.8 Di VC USD (original) - pro standard zoom for Nikon FX, weather-sealed with VC.
About this lens
The Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD (first generation) is Tamron's original full-frame professional standard zoom, released in 2012. A significant lens at launch - the first 24-70 f/2.8 zoom from any manufacturer with built-in stabilisation - and it remains a capable working zoom for Nikon FX DSLRs.

Works with

Best for
A widely-used pro-grade standard zoom for Nikon FX - constant f/2.8 with VC stabilisation, useful for weddings, events, portraits and general work. The first-gen version predates the G2 (2017) but still delivers strong optical performance at a typically more affordable used price.
Frequently asked questions
How does this compare to the G2 version?
The G2 (2017) refines optical performance (especially at corners), improves VC to 5 stops, updates coatings, and adds fluorine front-element coating. The original (this lens) remains optically strong and is typically more affordable.
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
Yes. The built-in USD motor handles autofocus in-lens.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Yes — Tamron VC, approximately 4 stops.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
