This lens offers a versatile zoom range suitable for wide to portrait shots, with a consistent f/2.8 aperture for better depth of field control. Enhanced optics improve resolution and sharpness, while the VXD motor ensures quick and precise autofocus for both photography and video. Its close focusing capability allows for detailed close-ups. The ergonomic design and software-compatible connector port make it user-friendly and easy to customise, making it an appealing choice for Sony full-frame E-mount users.
Features
Featuring an updated optical design and refined focusing system, the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is a Sony E-mount zoom offering a versatile wide-to-portrait-length range and bright f/2.8 maximum aperture. Revamped optics yield higher resolution and improved sharpness over the previous generation and the focusing system has been replaced with a VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) mechanism that achieves faster, more precise performance to suit both stills and video applications.
Second Generation Enhancements
As the second generation of this popular lens, this updated version also sees refinements to the exterior design of the lens, a closer minimum focusing distance of 7.1", and a new connector port for streamlining the process of working with Tamron Lens Utility software to adjust lens settings.
Zoom and Aperture Features
Versatile standard zoom designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras but can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 42-112.5mm equivalent focal length range.
Bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture affords consistent illumination throughout the zoom range and also affords greater control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.
Improved optical design increases resolution and enhances imaging performance.
VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism provides fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance throughout the zoom range.
Minimum focusing distance of just 7.1" and a 1:2.7 maximum magnification for working with close-up subjects.
Updated ergonomic design for improved operability.
Connector Port and Software Integration
Connector port works in conjunction with Tamron Lens Utility software for customizing lens functions and updating firmware through the lens rather than through the camera. Considered to be a great alternative to the Sony 24-70mm
