Tamron announced that their SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) (Model A16), a lightweight, compact and fast zoom lens designed for exclusive use with digital SLR cameras and equipped with APS-C sized image sensors, has been selected as the winner of the EISA Photo Award – European Consumer Lens of the Year 2006-2007.
The lens was highly evaluated by the editors-in-chief and technical editors of leading photographic magazines in Europe as an easy-to-use, high performance and fast standard zoom lens featuring the latest optical design technologies.
The digital lens covers the focal length range equivalent of 26-78mm when converted to the 35mm format and provides a wider angle of view than ordinary standard zoom lenses while featuring an F/2.8 fast maximum aperture and a minimum focus distance of 0.27m (10.6-inches) over the entire zoom range.
EISA Awards are given each year to the best products in photographic, audiovisual, video and mobile product categories as voted by EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) panels consisting of editors-in-chief and technical editors of 52 leading and influential magazines in 19 European countries that specialize in photography, audio, video and mobile electronics products. The EISA award is recognized as one of the most prestigious international awards a product in the said specific categories can receive.
