Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III - Review

Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 for Sony E-Mount Full Frame/APS-C (6 Year Limited USA Warranty) - The Perfect Lens for Photography Enthusiasts

I recently had the opportunity to test out the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2, and I am very impressed with what this lens has to offer. As a photography enthusiast, I love experimenting with different lenses to see which one fits my needs the best. This lens is definitely one of the best lenses I have had the pleasure of using.

First off, I have to mention the fast, quiet VXD linear motor that the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 comes with. The motor is incredibly high-speed and high-precision, making auto-focus a breeze. I really appreciated how quickly the lens managed to focus on my subject, no matter how fast it was moving.

The Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 7.1” at wide end and maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7 also impressed me. It allowed me to capture some really creative close-up shots, something I haven't been able to do with other lenses.

One of the things that initially caught my eye was the new design of the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2. The enhanced texture and greater user-friendliness made it very easy for me to use the lens, even as a beginner. I liked how easy it was to switch between manual and auto-focus, and how smoothly the lens adjusted to my preferences.

Despite being a high-performing lens, the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is also incredibly compact. At just 4.6" long and weighing only 19 oz, it's easy to travel with and doesn't take up too much space in my gear bag. This makes it perfect for photographers who like to travel light.

Another feature that I loved about this lens was its moisture-resistant construction and fluorine coating. This protects the lens from water droplets, dust, and grime, ensuring that it lasts for years to come without any damage. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I can take it outside in any weather conditions without it getting damaged.

When it comes to image quality, the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 definitely delivers. The lens produces sharp, vivid images, with great color rendering and contrast. I was impressed with how sharp my images turned out, even when I was shooting at low apertures.

One thing I do have to mention is that the lens can be a bit heavy after prolonged use. However, with such a high-performing lens, it was a trade-off that I am willing to make to capture the perfect shot.

Overall, I cannot recommend the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 enough. Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiast, this lens has something to offer. With its fast, high-precision autofocus, creative close-up possibilities, great design, compact size, and weather-resistant construction, it's definitely a lens worth investing in.
