Sophisticated design
The use of specialized, high quality glass materials assures accurate color reproduction and superior sharpness, perfect for today’s high-pixel-density cameras. Optical construction (17 elements in 12 groups) uses 2 XR (Extra Refractive Index) elements, 3 LD (Low Dispersion) elements, 3 GM (Glass-Molded aspherical) and one hybrid aspherical lens element. Together they minimize axial chromatic aberrations, transverse chromatic aberrations, spherical aberrations and distortion, and allow a compact design that achieves superior image quality.

Best-in-class 5 stops for smooth handheld shooting
Besides Tamron’s original VC (Vibration Compensation) system, the A032 has an MPU dedicated to VC processing, for the highest vibration compensation in its class, with a CIPA image stabilization level of 5 stops. Enjoy jitterfree shooting and more flexibility — even in low light.

All-new control system delivers greater speed and precision
The A032 is equipped with its own MPU (micro-processor unit), with embedded DSP (digital signal processing) blocks that enable high-speed digital signal processing, achieving both excellent responsiveness to signals from the camera and high-precision AF performance.

eBAND Coating reduces ghosting and flare
The A032 features Tamron’s proprietary eBAND(Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) Coating and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating, to combat ghosting and flare. A nano-structured layer and conventional multiple-layer coatings deliver superior anti-reflection properties.

Keep your lens in line with a built-in lock
The lens hood is equipped with a locking mechanism, which prevents detachment due to unintentional contact during use.

Compatible with the TAMRON TAP-in Console
The optional TAP-in Console provides a USB connection to your personal computer, enabling you to easily update your lens’s firmware as well as customize features including fine adjustments to the AF and VC.
