Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Lens for Sony E with Kodak 128GB Memory Card

The Tamron 28-75mm f/ 2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036) is a high-speed standard zoom lens specifically designed for mirrorless cameras. Now you can balance high image quality with beautiful bokeh. Specialized glass elements, including an XLD lens, control various aberrations and produce stable resolution across the entire zoom range.

Superb Optical Performance
The A036 features a new design that leverages the advanced image quality of the latest full-frame mirrorless cameras. To balance beautiful bokeh with high image quality, the optical formula (15 elements in 12 groups) includes a special XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) element, LD (Low Dispersion) element, GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) element and two hybrid aspherical lens elements in the optimal arrangement to correct aberrations and reduce the overall lens size. The lens also employs BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating that boasts exceptional anti-reflection performance throughout the entire zoom range, even when shooting in backlit conditions.

In addition, incorporating the nine-blade circular diaphragm design, the lens will perform in versatile situations, providing beautiful soft portrayal at wide open aperture (f/ 2.8 ) to a clear and sharp image when stopped down.

Comfortably Lightweight and Compact
Extra emphasis was placed on creating a high speed, fast aperture zoom lens in a compact and lightweight design because standard-range zooms are generally the most frequently used. Weighing only 19.4 oz. with a total length of just 4.6 in., the A036 enables photographers to enjoy the mobility provided by a compact, lightweight, full-frame mirrorless camera in all situations from casual snapshots to stunning portraits and dramatic landscape photography.

Wide-Angle and Telephoto
The A036 breaks from the convention that the MOD of a zoom lens must be fixed throughout the focal range and achieves a MOD of 7.5 in. at the 28mm wide-angle end which delivers a maximum image magnification of 1:2. 9. The working distance of just 2.24 in. from the front element allows photographers to enjoy close-up shooting that emphasizes the sense of perspective unique to wide angles. At the 75mm telephoto end, the 15.3 in. MOD provides an image magnification of 1:4, thereby enabling close-up shooting with a pleasantly blurred background similar to a macro lens.

All-New RXD Stepping Motor AF Unit
The AF drive incorporates a sensor that accurately detects the position of the lens and an RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit optimized for AF control. This achieves quick and precise AF operation, allowing users to maintain pin-sharp focus on continually moving subjects or when filming video. Additionally, the AF motor is exceedingly quiet, virtually eliminating extraneous AF drive sounds during video recording.

Exciting, Ergonomically Superb Next-generation Design
The mirrorless-oriented design adheres to a new human touch lens design concept. As signified by the Luminous Gold brand ring, careful attention to detail has produced an optimum shape characteristic of a Tamron lens, whether on its own or attached to a camera body. This design emphasizes brand identity combined with ease of operation.

Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating
Environmental seals at the lens mount area and other critical locations prevent infiltration of moisture and/or raindrops and afford moisture-resistant construction. This provides an additional layer of protection when shooting outdoors under adverse weather conditions. The front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that has excellent water- and oil-repellent qualities. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, moisture or oily fingerprints, allowing for much easier maintenance.
