Key Features — Tamron AF 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5

APS-C Exclusive Design: Optimized for crop-sensor DSLRs, keeping the optical design compact and lightweight without the bulk required to cover a full-frame image circle.
f/3.5-4.5 Maximum Aperture: Variable aperture provides reasonable light-gathering across the zoom range for a wide-angle lens of this class.
LD and Aspherical Elements: Low Dispersion and aspherical glass elements help control chromatic aberration and distortion across the zoom range.
Internal Focus Design: The IF (Internal Focus) system means the front element does not rotate during focusing, making polarizer use straightforward.
Auto and Manual Focus: Supports both AF and MF operation, giving photographers the flexibility to switch modes depending on the shooting situation.

The variable maximum aperture of f/3.5 at 10mm and f/4.5 at 24mm provides practical light-gathering across the zoom range. Shooters have the option of autofocus or manual focus, offering adaptability across different shooting styles and subjects.
The 77mm filter thread is a practical inclusion, accommodating a broad selection of filter accessories.
