The Tamron 70-210mm F/4 Di VC USD is a full-frame telephoto zoom lens designed for DSLR camera systems, available in Canon EF and Nikon F mounts.

Built-in optical image stabilization helps manage the camera shake that becomes more apparent when shooting at telephoto focal lengths handheld.
Both auto and manual focus modes are supported, giving photographers the choice to suit different shooting scenarios. The 67mm filter thread keeps filter accessory costs reasonable for a lens of this reach. Weighing 860g, this lens carries the heft expected of a full-frame telephoto zoom.
