Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 RXD A036SF Lens for Sony-FE, Black

Quick review: - INDISPENSIBLE focal range, 95% of my shooting can be done on this lens. This lens convinced me on zooms, I used to think I'd only shoot primes. - WIDE aperture, (Same as the best G Master in this focal range) Paired with a Sony a7iii, lowlight shooting becomes a breeze. - FAST and SILENT, (native like, Sony themsleves have declared this lens to be native) autofocus. - QUALITY BIULD, lovely to the touch, everything about this feels great, even the lens cap haha - SHARP - SMALL and LIGHT This lens is quite simply Godly.

I've had my A7ii since 2015, and I've only been using it with the 55mm 1.8 (Carl Zeiss) lens and the kit lens. I love the 55mm 1.8, but I wanted something that was as good quality and still allowed me to get wider shots if needed. I compared this Tamron 28-75 2.8 (£750) to the G Master 24-70 2.8 (£1,800) and the Sony 24-105 4.0 (£1,200). I compared the weight, size, price, aperture, range and quality. You might find this hard to believe, but I was very close to buying the G Master, but what put me off wasn't the price, it was the size/weight. I didn't need nor want a lens that size, it would be too much for the photos I take. So then I was left comparing the Sony 24-105 to the Tamron. For me, the main differences were 24mm vs 28mm, and 2.8 vs 4.0. I wanted 2.8 more than I wanted 24mm, and with the added bonus of having ~£400 in my pocket. Since receiving the lens (about 3 weeks ago), It's not left my camera. My Carl Zeiss 1.8 was sharp, and is probably slightly sharper overall, but this Tamron lens is incredible. I'm very impressed and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Only slight issue I have is, as the lens doesn't have IS built in (obviously the A7ii does), I found some of my shots are slightly blurry, it's just resulted in me speeding the shutter up to combat that, no problems since.

I have been using the Sony a7iii for about a year, I have the 12-24mm Sony lens f4. I was wanting something a bit more all round and I came across this. So much to say about this lens: Great price, especially now as I paid 750 only a few months back. Silent, smooth and quick autofocus. Awesome bokeh at f2.8. Haven't seen too much in the way as of chromatic aberrations. I rate the lens very highly and I am very happy with my purchase. I have attached a few photos, they have been edited in Lightroom, they have been uploaded in Jpeg, if anyone wants a RAW pic just msg me.

I have used the sony lenses and this is far more greater than what I have been reading and watching. Honestly, the sharpness of the lens is just superb. Great aperture and shutter speed. I have been using it for my A7III and it has produced classic pictures both portraits and landscapes. I have also tested the newer version and not a lot of difference in both (Minor differences) except the customization feature in the newer model. I highly recommend this product if you have a full frame camera. It's simply one of the best lenses available. The sharpness of the lens is just out of the world really. Tamron wins in everything.

The Tamron 28-75mm lens for Sony E-Mount is a versatile lens with decent image quality, unfortunately there seems to be some quality control issues. I've read about focusing problems but had thought there were fixed, my particular copy always front focuses at F2.8, and I had thought my camera was to blame. Overall if you can find a working copy, this is a good lens.

I have done extensive tests Vs the 24-105 f4 lens which is it's most direct rival and both are extremely sharp with great AF. At f4 I would say the tamron wins on sharpness but at f2.8 is a little less sharp but still good. If they were the same price it would be a tie, trading off the extra stop of light for range however at current prices if you could only have one id have to pick the tamron for the saved cash. Only consideration is that it doesn't have oss but that only really matters of you have an older body with no Ibis Against the 24-70 GM I feel it's a bit of an unfair fight as it's in a different price bracket all together however for me, this if good enough when on the 42mp a7riii and I have no desire to drop over 2k on the GM! Note: a wide angle zoom has been announced to compliment this, so looking forward to that too.

I would say that you could only live with this lens. It is a fast lens with fast autofocus. The compatibility with Sony e-mount cameras is really good. It is not that heavy even when is kind of a big lens. The quality of the material feels descent, since is plastic, but it is robust and the performance is great. It gives really sharp images and produces an amazing bokeh. The only problem is that the lens doesn't have image stabilization, so the shutter speed has to increase to produce stable shots.

This lens has gone up in price everywhere since I got mine, and I immediately understand why. The lens is an absolute monster in pretty much every department. It's autofocus and edge-to-edge sharpness rival Sony's flagship 24-70mm G-Master - that comes in at over £2000 - and it's relative compactness, constant aperture and light weight make it a must have for me. Great lens. Definitely a keeper.

Nice

Es un objetivo muy versátil con un bonito bokeh. El precio es mas que razonable. Un 28-75mm f / 2.8 en toda la focal es un gran trabajo de ingeniería que con cualquier otra marca te costaría el doble. Pesa poco y es muy nítido en toda la focal, luminoso, y con un viñeteo inexistente o inapreciable. Aberración cromática inapreciable, solo lo verás si tu cámara tiene mucha resolución y amplías y amplías, y amplías... Pero vamos, que no lo notas. Tengo objetivos Sony prime y Tamrom, y no les tiene nada que enviar. Y por la mitad de precio. Es una gran compra para las FullFrame de Sony Alpha.

Todo funciona excelente

Das 28-75 von Tamron ist das beste Objektiv für E-Mount, wenn man mich fragt (Januar 2018 gekauft). Es ist bereits bei Offenblende und 28mm sehr scharf bis zum Rand (Vollformat), siehe Bild. ***Tipp*** Solltet ihr kein gutes Exemplar erwischt haben (rechter Rand deutlich schärfer als linker Rand), schickt es per Reparaturauftrag von der Tamron Homepage nach Köln. Sie können es justieren. Tauscht es nicht zig Mal beim Händler aus! Der Service ist wirklich gut. Die schönsten Landschaftsbilder mache ich in der Regel zwischen 40 und unter 70mm bei Blende 8 bis 11. Sollte ich mehr Bild benötigen, mache ich lieber ein Panorama. Auch hier überzeugt das Objektiv. Leider ist der Autofokus bei Dunkelheit nicht der Beste an der A7iii im Vergleich zum 24-70GM. Er arbeitet trotzdem, bis auf paar Ausnahmen, sehr zuverlässig. Bei Tag ist der Autofokus wirklich Perfekt. Das Objektiv ist auch sehr leicht und das Reisen macht Spaß. Spaß ist vielleicht nicht der richtige Ausdruck, aber wenn ich den ganzen im Gran Caynon oder sonst wo auf der Welt unterwegs bin, dann möchte ich nicht, dass die Arme durch das Gewicht der Kamera und des Objektivs ermüden. Das GM ist im Vergleich zu schwer und zu kopflastig. Wenn ich das 17-28 an meiner A7iii habe, dann ist das 28-75 an meiner Alpha 6300 -> super leichte kombination - WOW. Lieber habe ich 2 Kameras dabei, als das ich ständig das Objektiv wechseln muss. Vor allem hat Tamron den besten Reparaturservice in Deutschland (Köln), den ich bis dato (31 Jahre alt) erleben durfte. Hier können sich alle Firmen mal eine Scheibe abschneiden. Pro: Gewicht Schärfe (Detailreichtum) Preis/Leistung Wetterfeste Konstruktion Autofokus bei Tag Chromatische Aberrationen nochmal Gewicht Contra: Autofokus bei Dunkelheit Fehlender Schalter für AF / MF 28-75mm statt 24-70mm keine In-Kamera Korrektur für Verzeichnung (für Videos ggf. von Bedeutung) Fazit: Das GM hat ein etwas schöneres Bokeh, aber die anderen Punkte sind mir wichtiger.

Great versatile all rounder lens for travelers or video makers and bloggers!! I am super happy with performance with my Sony7III body..
