Introducing a fast standard zoom lens with a wide-end 17mm focal length
Tamron's SP AF17-50mm offers a wider angle
than the standard 18mm zoom lenses ordinarily
used with digital cameras. With a wider-angle
focal length of 17mm
(26mm equivalent)
, this lens
is unbeatable for indoor photography, and for
capturing full length people shots or an entire
building into the shot. The lens is also top-level
in its class* for minimum focus distance at 27cm
(10.6") across the entire zoom range, making it
easier than ever to enjoy the creative combina-
tion of wide-angle and macro photography.
*Among fast standard zoom lenses with an F/2.8 maximum
aperture throughout the entire range designed exclusively
for digital SLR cameras.

*Since APS-C sized image sensors are smaller than 35mm film,
the 17-50mm can fill the frame with almost the same scope as a
lens with a Max. Mag. Ratio of 1:3.0 on a 35mm SLR camera.
