Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD Lens for Sony E

The Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD offers a unique combination of an all-in-one zoom range and a relatively fast design, beginning at f/2.8 at 28mm. It is made for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and is well suited to photographers who want one versatile lens for many shooting situations.

Designed for Full-Frame coverage, the lens can also be used on APS-C Sony E-mount cameras, where it provides an equivalent focal length range of approximately 42-300mm.

A series of specialized optical elements helps control different types of aberrations for high sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range, while the RXD autofocus system supports stills and video with fast, smooth, and near-silent focusing performance.

The 28-200mm focal length range covers a wide variety of shooting needs, from wide scenes and landscapes to portraits and telephoto details, reducing the need to change lenses while traveling or working on the move.

When mounted on an APS-C Sony E-mount camera, the lens provides an equivalent range of approximately 42-300mm, giving even more reach for travel, distant subjects, and everyday shooting.

The lens offers a maximum aperture range of f/2.8-5.6, which is especially useful at the wide end of the zoom range when working in available light or creating stronger background separation.

The minimum aperture range of f/16-32 provides added flexibility when shooting in brighter environments or when a deeper depth of field is needed.

A series of specialized elements is used to control various aberrations and help maintain high sharpness and clarity throughout the expansive zoom range.

The RXD Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive autofocus motor delivers quick, near-silent, and smooth focusing performance, making the lens suitable for both still photography and video applications.

Full-time manual focus override is also supported, and the lens is compatible with Sony's Direct Manual Focus function for fine-tuned manual control.

Moisture-resistant construction makes the lens better suited for outdoor use and changing shooting conditions.

A fluorine coating has been applied to the front lens element to help protect against dust, dirt, fingerprints, and smearing, while also making the front element easier to clean.

A Zoom Lock switch helps keep the lens in its retracted position when not in use, which is useful during carrying and travel.
