Our Verdict
Tamron has designed an extremely competent standard zoom lens to tempt Fujifilm users with this 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD. It features a tried and tested optical design, with outstanding sharpness proven by versions for other camera brands. The focal range is particularly useful for any number of subjects too, which ensures you’ll always want to bring this with you on any excursion.

These include their most recent focusing motor, which is fast, quiet and optimised for Fujifilm AF, as well as VC to combat camera shake when shooting handheld. This works extremely well for both stills and video, harnessing AI to provide further stabilisation when recording movies.
There are plenty of other features to capture beautiful results whatever the subject, including a constant f/2.8 aperture, compact filter thread attachment and weather resistance for outdoor shooters.
If you’ve been looking to acquire a standard zoom lens for any type of content creation which delivers impeccable results, then look no further than this second model for Fuji users from Tamron.
