Product details

The second, extensively updated generation of the fast standard zoom lens. The 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A063) is a fast standard zoom lens for Sony's mirrorless full-frame system cameras and the successor to the popular 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036). Its key innovations include high resolution and outstanding image quality. The new lens features a revised optical system but remains just as compact as its predecessor. The optical design includes LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements to minimize aberrations. The imaging performance is very high at every focal length and across the entire image area. At wide open aperture, it produces a beautiful bokeh effect. With these and many other innovations, the 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 is the top choice for anyone looking to maximize their creativity.

  • PositiveLens construction and achievable image quality are very good. The new lens also scores points with its high AF performance and convenient operation.
  • NegativeIt is recognisable at some points that the focus was on cost-effective production. This includes the somewhat rough focal length adjustment.

The very low price of the lens should be emphasised, as the standard zoom is a real bargain at 699 euros. In return, the customer is offered a pleasing performance. As a fast alternative for an everyday lens, it delivers appealing images and equally good videos.

  • PositiveFlexible focal length range
  • PositiveHigh luminous intensity
  • PositiveExtremely fast autofocus
  • NegativeNo image stabiliser

The standard zoom shows in the test lab that it is also a real upgrade compared to the Nikon model in terms of resolution. Here, the lens plays in a league that is usually only reached by high-quality fixed focal lengths. In the test, the lightning-fast and precise autofocus, which performs its tasks unerringly even with moving lenses, was also really impressive...

  • PositiveThe standard zoom lens from Tamron comes with a high-quality finish and excellent value for money.
  • NegativeThe lens works without its own image stabilisation. Sony full-frame E cameras, however, have an integrated stabiliser via sensor shift.

Tamron shows that even very good lenses can gain considerably by being revised and equipped with additional functions. The 28-75mm F/2.8 Di IlI VXD G2 is an excellent example of this, convincing with its high resolution and other plus points.

When Tamron relaunches its standard zoom, we are always particularly excited and expectations are high. Version III costs 950 euros - and delivers as expected. At 28 mm, the resolution at both measured apertures is a good 2500 LP - a good, if not top value. At 46 mm, the resolution in the centre unfortunately drops by 160 LP (aperture 2.8) and 110 LP (aperture 5.6), but the contrast remains very high...

In terms of resolution and features, the G2 of the Tamron 2.8/28-75 mm Di III VXD has made gains.
