Rent NowTamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Lens for Sony E
Second-Generation Fast Standard Zoom Constant f/2.8 Aperture, High-Speed VXD Linear Motor AF & Tamron Lens Utility Connector Port
The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is an updated, high-performance standard zoom lens engineered for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, while also compatible with APS-C bodies to provide a 42-112.5mm equivalent focal length range. Building upon its popular predecessor, this G2 edition features a redesigned optical layout that delivers higher resolution, improved edge-to-edge sharpness, and refined contrast across the entire wide-to-portrait focal range. Its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture ensures consistent low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field control for portraiture, events, landscapes, and everyday photography.
Upgraded with Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, the autofocus system delivers significantly faster, quieter, and more precise tracking for both high-speed stills and video recording. The lens features an enhanced minimum focusing distance of just 7.1 inches with a 1:2.7 maximum magnification for detailed close-up perspectives. Outfitted with an updated ergonomic exterior for improved tactile grip, the G2 model introduces a dedicated USB-C connector port directly on the barrel, allowing users to customize lens functions, switch focus modes, and update firmware via the Tamron Lens Utility software.
