Updated 2nd generation optics

The 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A063) is a fast aperture standard zoom lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras and the successor to the popular 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD. Tamron focused on high resolution and impressive image quality by harnessing a redesigned optical system, while maintaining a similar compact size as its predecessor. To virtually eliminate optical aberrations LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Moulded Aspherical) lens elements have been used. The lens provides exceptionally strong optical performance, with edge-to-edge sharpness across the frame and throughout the entire zoom range. You can also achieve soft, beautiful bokeh effects that are distinctive to fast aperture lenses.

Close-up photography lens

Close focusing has also been improved with a Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 0.18m at the wide 28mm end giving you an impressive working distance of about 4.4cm to your subject. The maximum magnification ratio is 1:2.7 getting closer to any subject while enjoying the world of wide angle macro photography. In addition at the 75mm telephoto end the MOD is 0.38m with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.1.

High-speed, high-precision AF

The AF drive system is equipped with Tamron’s VXD linear motor focus mechanism. VXD is exceptionally responsive and operates at high speed with great precision, approximately twice as fast as the 1st-generation lens. With reliable, fast focusing you are ready for those important moments. The AF drive motor is also very quiet, which is important when recording video.

Improved operation and ergonomics

The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Lens incorporates a new design that will become the hallmark of future Tamron lenses. Grip texture has been improved by redesigning the striped pattern on the focusing and zoom ring rubber. The lens has also been refined for smoother operation. The surface of the lens exterior is now shiny black, far glossier than previous models.

Tamron Lens Utility for lens customisation

This lens is compatible with the new Lens Utility software developed by Tamron. The Lens Utility is operated on your PC by connecting the lens via an optional Connection Cable to update firmware and customise lens features.
