Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Lens Sony E

The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (A063) for Sony E delivers a versatile standard range of 28–75mm with a constant f/2.8 aperture, featuring a thoroughly redesigned optical formula to raise resolving power and contrast across the frame. The focusing system is upgraded to a VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor for fast, quiet, and highly accurate AF that suits both stills and video. As the second generation of this popular lens, the G2 also brings refinements to the exterior design and handling, a shorter minimum focusing distance of 18 cm (7.1") for more dramatic close-ups, and a new dedicated connector port that works with Tamron Lens Utility software to customize functions and update firmware directly—no need to go through the camera.

While built for full-frame, it also pairs beautifully with APS-C bodies, yielding an effective ~42–112.5mm range—an ideal choice for portraits, events, and travel—with modern optical performance and well-balanced handling.

• Higher resolution across the frame: an updated optical design with 17 elements in 15 groups reduces aberrations and boosts center-to-corner sharpness and contrast.
• Constant f/2.8 aperture: consistent exposure at all focal lengths and greater depth-of-field control for subject isolation, aided by a 9-blade rounded diaphragm.
• VXD linear motor: very fast and remarkably quiet AF response with reduced focus breathing for steadier, more cinematic video shots.
• 18 cm (7.1") minimum focus: up to 1:2.7 (0.37×) maximum magnification for dramatic close-ups at the wide end with crisp detail and excellent illumination.
• Refined exterior: updated ergonomics for a better grip and quicker access to rings and controls in the field.

The Tamron Lens Utility connector lets you plug the lens into a computer to adjust functions and update firmware directly. Assign button/ring behaviors that match your shooting style, optimize response for video or stills, and keep performance current— all without using the camera as an intermediary.
