Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 Di III RXD

The 17-28mm F2.8 Di III RXD Zoom lens is based on the same development concept as the 28-75mm F2.8 Di II RXD (model A036). The special features of both lenses include their exceptionally high image quality and compact, handy design. With a length of only 99 mm and a weight of just 420 g, the Tamron 17 28mm F2.8 is unrivaled in its class in terms of compactness and lightness. The barrel does not change its size when Zooming and focusing, which contributes to the excellent handling of this ultra-wide-angle zoom lens and makes this Zoom the ideal choice for users who are often on the move. Together, the 17-28mm and 28-75mm weigh less than a kilo.

Excellent imaging performance
The optical construction of the 17-28mm F2.8 Di III RXD has 13 elements in 11 groups, including three aspherical lenses and two LD elements (Low Dispersion) as well as an XLD element (eXtra Low Dispersion), which has similar properties to a fluorite lens. The combination of these lenses effectively suppresses chromatic aberrations and other optical aberrations. The lens surfaces are coated with Tamron's BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating, which effectively suppresses reflections inside the lens when shooting against the light. In conjunction with the camera functions*, a very high imaging performance is achieved over the entire focal length range, which fully exploits the potential of high-resolution sensors.

Short focusing distance for expressive perspectives
The 17-28mm F2.8 allows you to take pictures even at close range. As the close-up focusing distance is shorter at wide-angle than at telephoto, the photographer has new creative possibilities for images with a dynamic perspective and expressive depth (close objects appear larger, distant objects appear smaller). At 17 mm, the extremely short focusing distance of 19 cm (as with the 28-75 mm F2.8) enables fascinating close-ups at a reproduction scale of 1:5.2; at 28 mm, the shortest focusing distance is 26 cm (reproduction scale 1:6).

Quiet autofocus with RXD technology
The autofocus system has a sensor that determines the current focus setting of the lens and an RXD stepping motor (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive). They ensure particularly high speed and precision when focusing, enabling the user to keep even dynamic objects continuously in focus. The autofocus works so quietly that virtually no disruptive focusing noise is recorded during video recording. The compact RXD technology also contributes significantly to the unrivaled handiness of the 17-28mm F2.8 Di III RXD.

Weather-sealed construction and fluorine coating
The bayonet ring and other critical areas of the 17-28mm F2.8 Di III RXD are sealed against moisture and splash water. This means that the lens can be used outdoors even in adverse weather conditions. The front lens is coated with a water and grease-repellent fluorine coating, which ensures that the lens surface is very easy to clean and less susceptible to dirt, such as fingerprints or splashes of dirt.

Sophisticated design and high-quality workmanship
Like the 28-75mm (model A036), the 17-28mm (model A046) is designed so that the Zoom ring is at the front and the focus ring at the rear. This means that the operation of both lenses is the same for the user. The design of the new lens is based on the characteristic concept of the high-quality Tamron lenses, which are characterized by a special sense of detail, careful processing and optimal shaping. The bright gold ring and the intuitive operating concept are among the outstanding brand features of the high-quality Tamron lenses.
