As a result the SP AF70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD (Model A005) boasts sharper contrast and greater descriptive performance than all others in its class. In addition it isthe first Tamron lens sporting a USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) Tamron's very own 27.0 oz. ultrasonic auto-focus drive mechanism. This USD mechanism delivers fast mechanism focusing making it a perfect telephoto zoom choice for photographing sports racing or other fast-moving subjects. The lens also boasts Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization to assist in handheld photography not only at long focal length ranges where blurring is common but also under low-lit conditions dramatically enhancing photographic freedom.
