The details

At a glance: Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II VC (Nikon DX fit) - fast stabilised standard zoom for APS-C.

About this lens

The Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 Di II VC is a fast standard zoom for APS-C DSLRs, in Nikon DX fit - a constant f/2.8 aperture across the range plus Tamron's VC optical stabilisation, covering roughly 25-75mm equivalent.

Build & handling

Maximum aperture f/2.8 constant
Stabilisation Yes - Tamron VC
Autofocus Built-in motor
Filter thread 72mm

Works with

  • Nikon DX DSLR bodies (D3xxx, D5xxx, D7xxx, D300/D500 and similar)
  • 72mm filters
  • Not suitable for Nikon FX / full-frame bodies

Best for

The classic affordable upgrade from an 18-55mm kit zoom - a constant f/2.8 gives two stops more light for indoor, event and low-light work, and much better subject separation. VC stabilisation helps with static subjects in low light. As a Di II lens it is designed for APS-C bodies only and will vignette heavily on full frame.

Frequently asked questions

Will this work on a full-frame Nikon?

Not properly. Di II lenses project an image circle sized for APS-C, so on an FX body you would get heavy vignetting or the camera would crop to DX mode, losing most of its resolution.

Does it autofocus on entry-level Nikon bodies?

Yes - this version has its own built-in autofocus motor, so it focuses on bodies without an in-body AF motor such as the D3xxx and D5xxx series.

  • A 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.
