Description

The 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is a fast standard zoom lens for Sony full-frame mirrorless system cameras and the successor to the popular 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD lens.

High resolution and exceptional image quality are among its most significant innovations. The new Tamron lens features a revised optical system but remains as compact as the previous model. Its optical structure includes LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements to minimize aberrations.

Spectacular optical performance for inspired creativity

The imaging performance is very high at every focal length and across the entire image area. When the aperture is open, there is a beautiful bokeh effect. With these and many other innovations, the 28-75mm F/2.8 G2 lens is the first choice for anyone looking to maximize their creativity.

High image quality with a compact, lightweight design

Improving the optical performance of the 1st generation A036 model, which had established itself for its exceptional image quality, was not an easy task. TAMRON redesigned the optical system of the 28-75mm F2.8 G2 from scratch, achieving the stunning performance befitting a new fast-aperture zoom lens.

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 maintains the same lightweight, compact design as its predecessor while offering sharp performance up to the corners of the images, across the entire zoom range. 

MOD 0.18m (7.1 in) at the wide end and maximum magnification ratio 1:2.7.

The minimum object distance (MOD) of 0.19 m (7.5 in) at the wide-angle end and the maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9 achieved by the 1st generation model A036 were highly appreciated because they allow users to enjoy close-up photos that emphasize perspective, something we see only in wide-angle lenses. 

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 achieves a MOD of 0.18m (7.1 in) at the wide-angle end, 1cm (0.4 in) closer than the A036 model, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7. This allows users to get even closer to the subject for wide macro photography, enabling a strong visual impact with the subject in large size while maintaining a wide view of the background in the frame.

Scratch and fingerprint resistance, with improved functionality and texture.

The Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 lens features a fresh, new design. Some internal parts of the zoom ring and focus ring have been improved, resulting in smoother overall functionality.

The circumference of the lens barrel has been reduced to give the lens a contoured profile that makes it easier to hold. This creates a comfortable shape that fits comfortably and naturally in the hand.

Additionally, the surface of the lens's exterior is glossy black, much glossier than previous models. The improved abrasion resistance makes the lens barrel more difficult to scratch and more resistant to fingerprints.

High-speed and precise VXD linear motor focusing mechanism.

The AF drive system is equipped with a focus mechanism featuring a VXD linear motor. The AF speed is approximately twice as fast compared to the 1st generation A036 model. With reliable, ultra-fast focusing from MOD to infinity and excellent focus tracking, you are ready for the important moments, even when photographing fast-moving subjects.

    (Amateur here). Perhaps the most VFM variable focal length lens in the mid-price category. Amazing sharpness, satisfactory color fidelity, fast AF in dark environments, a pleasant surprise is the customization of the button and the focus ring. Of course, it's not perfect, there are some distortions in specific conditions. Even at F2.8 the sharpness remains at high levels. The focusing distance is very short, especially at 28mm (4-5cm from the subject). It can even be used as a "Macro" in a pinch. I think it's worth its price for someone who wants an All Around lens that Sony does not offer at F2.8 for a similar cost.

  • This review is about the mount: Nikon Z

    5 stars because of the price. Lightweight, with a small lens opening at 75. Very fast outdoors, a bit slower compared to the Nikon 24-70/F4 in low light conditions, and the focusing distance is not very long but you know this beforehand. The button on it is very convenient, but I miss the switch for changing AF/MF. Tested on Z6ii.

    Excellent lens. Compared to the G master 2 which I also have, except for the 24mm, there is no difference in the image. As you hear it. NONE. I have tested it in all lighting conditions and the differences are negligible. The price of the gmaster 2 is four times higher and there is no difference in the image... The autofocus is perhaps the best I have seen on the a7iv.
    Just to be clear, I ONLY do video.

    This review is about the mount: Nikon Z

    Only tested the lens briefly, but it seems to be as expected.
    Fast focusing in the z6ii, good color representation, good bokeh.
    Autofocus seems to be accurate enough (tested outdoors at daytime and a bit in a not very well lit room indoors) (eye autofocus on humans and pet kittens)
    Very close focusing distance as mentioned in the specs, of course with a narrow depth of field in such close distances. (Not a macro but can capture good closeup shots.
    Shipping and delivery was fast and packaging good and not damaged (double carton package by the seller)
    Satisfied with the purchase, i will update further on the lens quality with more extensive testing - usage.

    The clarity of the photos taken with this lens is very good. However, sometimes the camera shows focus with the green frames and a beep sound, but the lens is actually out of focus. Then, you need to press the focus button a second time to achieve real focus. I believe this is a problem that can be solved with a firmware update, but for now, there is no available solution.

    If you are looking for an affordable lens that covers a satisfactory range of focal depth, has fast autofocus, and doesn't break the bank, then this lens is for you.
    Sharp, lightweight for its type, good color rendering, and beautiful Bokeh.
    I use it professionally for video and photography and it meets my needs.

    The lens is a beast! Lightweight, sharp, and at a bargain price.

    After a year of use, I noticed a slight fading on the rubber of the focus. Purely aesthetic and personally indifferent to me.

    A must-have for Sony, if you don't want to waste your money
