Inheriting the broadest focal length range in its class The new B023 has a zoom range of 10-24mm, the widest* among ultra-wideangle zoom lenses for the APS-C cameras. It’s the 35mm equivalent of covering the very wide angle range from 16mm ultra-wide angle to 37mm wide angle. With just one lens, photographers can enjoy diverse wideangle expressions, from dynamic landscapes far beyond the normal human field of vision to simple, casual snapshots.
Offers a broad range of wideangle versatility The zoom range is 2.4x, and with the maximum difference in the angles of view equaling 48°24’, a wide variety of photographic functionality is unleashed, from full-blown 10mm ultra-wide angle to 24mm which is good for casual snapshots— allowing for wideangle pictures with a very natural feel. 10mm 10mm F/11 1/100 sec ISO200 10mm F/3.5 1/3 sec ISO100 24mm F/11 1/100 sec ISO200 24mm F/4.

Optical Construction The optical design of the new Model B023 consists of 16 lens elements in 11 groups. Special lens elements are utilized in an optimum configuration of one LD (Low Dispersion) lens element, one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) glass element, one molded glass aspherical element, and one hybrid aspherical lens.
Outstanding resolution essential for wideangle pictures • The B023 provides outstanding resolving power across the entire zoom range and provides clear and crisp landscape photography. • Multiple aspherical lens elements placed in optimum positions improve the compensation for various aberrations and enhance resolution. 10mm F/5.
Wideangle images with a very natural appearance • The cutting-edge optical design minimizes distortion and ensures very natural expressions for a wideangle lens. • The peripheral (edge-to-edge) light fall-off is very natural-looking at maximum aperture, and even better when stopped down two stops. 10mm F/5.6 1/750 sec ISO200 10mm F/8 0.

Outstanding contrast reproduction performance Even in high contrast situations, the new B023 delivers excellent edge-to-edge performance, and with its superior ability to capture a broad range of tones and gradations, gives rich expression to fine details in both the highlight and shadow regions. 10mm F/3.
Minimum Object Distance of 9.4 in In addition to capturing wide views, wideangle lenses provide unique, creative expressions by capitalizing on inherent perspective when used for close-ups, so a shorter minimum object distance is an important and useful feature. With a minimum object distance of 9.4 inches, users can take full advantage of spectacular background blur effects by opening the diaphragm. 24mm F/4.5 1/400 sec ISO100 Upper：24mm F/4.5 1/400 sec ISO100 Under：24mm F/4.
Achieving excellent resistance against ghosting and flare Tamron’s original BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating is highly acclaimed for its superior backlit performance, increasing light transmission and preventing lens surface reflections and dispersion. In addition, reduction of internal reflections in the lens barrel (including the coating and the layout with a light-shielding groove) provides thorough resistance to ghosting and flare and delivers flawless, crystal clear images. 24mm F/5.
Achieving excellent resistance against ghosting and flare To prevent ghosting and flare without fail, wide-ranging light sources and conditions were thoroughly simulated.
Vibration Compensation system that is especially useful in low light In response to the requests of many customers who have asked the company to equip a wideangle lens with image stabilization, we have now installed Tamron’s acclaimed VC (Vibration Compensation) on the new Model B023. Optimizing the actuator and the control algorithm has made it possible to incorporate the VC, while maintaining the compact design of the previous Model B001.
Taking pictures without raising the ISO speed With the B023, image stabilization performance of 4 stops (in accordance with CIPA standards) enables taking pictures without the need to increase ISO speed. 24mm F/4.
Taking pictures without raising the ISO speed To compensate for low light conditions, photographers sometimes raise the ISO speed. However, high ISO speeds generate high levels of noise and lower overall image quality. 24mm F/4.
Taking pictures without raising the ISO speed Even in low light levels, photographs at smaller apertures with considerable depth-of-field are possible without raising ISO. Under low light conditions, opening the diaphragm and/or increasing the ISO speed can be necessary to prevent blurred images. However, thanks to the VC system it’s possible to use smaller apertures and low ISO and still use shutter speeds high enough to prevent blurring.
Taking pictures without raising the ISO speed With today’s higher-pixel-density cameras, subtle camera shake tends to be more noticeable, causing a decline in picture quality. The VC functions prevent subtle camera shake, thereby maintaining the lens’s pristine image quality. VC: ON 12mm F/5.

The latest, most modern technology available First implementation of the new HLD — stable AF control and outstanding AF drive power HLD (High/Low torque modulated Drive) is an AF drive system using a brushless motor developed and produced exclusively by Tamron. Long-life motor. Unlike a conventional DC motor, the bearing for the motor shaft is the only part with mechanical contact. An inverter circuit for conversion from DC to AC enables highly efficient rotations for low and high speeds alike.

Improved Usability with Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating The front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that is waterand oil-repellant. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints. For greater protection when shooting outdoors, leakproof seals throughout the lens barrel help protect your equipment.
Compressed into a compact body with structural ingenuity While enhancing image quality, adding new functions and substantially improving the basic performance, Model B023’s space-saving design has ensured an optimum configuration for components such as the VC and AF unit, thus successfully reducing overall length compared to the previous Model B001. The lightweight and compact body with outstanding ease of use will prove to be very well-balanced when attached to an APS-C DSLR camera.
Compact and lightweight, with an external design that emphasizes functionality and ease of use A key goal in developing the new 10-24mm was ensuring intuitive ease-of-use by every photographer while paying careful attention to a delicately refined form — right down to fine details and the texture of the materials.
External design placing importance on functionality and ease of use 1.The external shape faithfully encompasses the internal structures geared towards compactness to the utmost limit 2.Creating a flat surface has subtly changed the tactile feedb ack when a photographer holds the lens for zooming. 3.New rubber patterns have a high-grade feel and user-friendliness 4.A slim Luminous Gold ring 6.Improved distance scale window is easier to read 5.
Compatible with TAMRON TAP-in Console™, an optional accessory product 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.
Improved Usability with Electromagnetic diaphragm system for Nikon-mount lenses An electromagnetic diaphragm system, which has been a standard feature for Canon-mount lenses, is now employed in Nikon-mount lenses*. More precise diaphragm and aperture control is possible because the diaphragm blades are driven and controlled by a motor through electronic pulse signals.
