The Tamron 28-75 mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 lens for Sony E-Mount cameras is the successor to the popular first-generation lens and offers a versatile zoom range from 28 mm wide-angle to 75 mm portrait length. It features a constant bright maximum aperture of F/2.8, ensuring even exposure and control of shallow depth of field throughout the entire focus range. The updated optical design delivers higher resolution and improved sharpness with reduced aberrations and distortions for clear, detailed shots. A VXD focusing mechanism (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) enables fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance, suitable for both still photography and video recording. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 18 cm at wide-angle and 38 cm at telephoto, allowing for close-ups with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9.

A dedicated connection port allows for customization of focus and operation settings via the Tamron Lens Utility software. The lens measures approximately 75.8 mm in diameter and 117.6 mm in length, weighing 540 g, making it compact and lightweight for extended handheld use. It is compatible with Sony E-Mount full-frame and APS-C cameras, providing an equivalent focal length of 42-112.5 mm on APS-C sensors. The package includes a lens cap, a lens hood, and a cleaning cloth for added convenience and protection.
