The Tamron 28-300mm f4-7.1 Di-III VC VXD is a versatile all-in-one Zoom lens with a 10.7x Zoom factor, specially designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras with Sony E-mount cameras. Despite its impressive range, the lens remains compact, with a length of only 126 mm and a weight of just 610 g. Equipped with the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focusing mechanism, it offers fast and precise focusing over the entire Zoom range.
The lens is equipped with Tamron VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization, which enables sharp hand-held images even when shooting at 300 mm telephoto or in low light conditions. Thanks to a minimum object distance (MOD) of 19 cm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.8 in the wide-angle range, the lens offers users access to the world of macro photography.
The lens is equipped with a focus button and a connection for the Tamron Lens Utility software developed by Tamron, which significantly expands the creative possibilities for photos and videos. Thanks to its weatherproof construction and fluorine protective coating on the front lens, it is robust and reliable. With the 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC, users can cover a wide range of shooting situations with just one lens.
The 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC is characterized by its impressive 10.7x Zoom range. In response to feedback from users that 200 mm in the telephoto range is often not enough for an all-in-one Zoom lens, Tamron has extended the focal length to 300 mm. The lens impresses with its handiness and compact design. It is ideal for a wide variety of shooting situations in everyday life and when traveling, including landscapes, snapshots, portraits and sports photography. This extremely versatile lens allows the user to cover any shooting situation without having to change lenses.
This Zoom lens from Tamron consists of an optical construction with 20 elements in 13 groups. It contains an XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) element and an LD (Low Dispersion) element to effectively control aberrations, especially chromatic aberrations. The BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating reduces ghosting and stray light, resulting in clear images even in backlit conditions. As a versatile Zoomlens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, it guarantees outstanding image quality.
Despite its impressive focal length range of 28 mm wide-angle to 300 mm telephoto, the lens remains extremely compact with a length of just 126 mm and a weight of 610 g. It is small
and versatile enough tobe used in
a variety ofsituations. It is small and versatile enough to be taken anywhere and is perfect for those who often only want to use a lightweight camera bag. The lens also makes it easier to compose both stills and moving subjects, such as sports and wildlife photography, and is always easy to use.
linear motor
The 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC features the VXD autofocus drive, which uses the high-quality linear motor focus mechanism from Tamron. This ensures that the focus is adjusted quickly and precisely over the entire 10.7x Zoom range. Contrary to the common preconception that all-in-one Zoom lenses have slow autofocus, the fast operation of the lens allows the user to reliably capture even fleeting moments. In addition, the extremely quiet VXD ensures that photography and filming in conditions that require absolute silence are possible without any problems.
Although the 28-300mm F4-7.1 is relatively compact, it features the VC mechanism developed by Tamron. This ensures smooth and stable images, particularly in the 300mm telephoto range of the 10.7x focal length range. The VC mechanism effectively reduces camera shake, which often occurs with telephoto shots or in poor lighting conditions, and enables the user to achieve sharp images even without a tripod.

Plus... die schnelle Abwicklung, bei dem A7 iv - Set! Nach 14 Tagen Test, hat mich die A7 iv voll überzeugt, sie bleibt in meiner Sammlung, werde sie für Naturfotografie benützen. Minus.... Ich hatte den Body Sony A7 iv und dazu ein "gutes" Objektiv (Tamron 35-150 2-2,8) bestellt. Ansage war: Lieferung verzögert sich! das war für mich oki. Dann hab ich (Anfang Dez) erfahren dass es die Sony A7 iv sofort gibt, aber nur im Set, mit einem billigen Zoom-Objektiv: Was soll ich mit diesem Billigschrott-Objektiv? Habe für meine 4 Sony Bodys, genügend 24-70/2,8 Zoom-Objektive. Fazit: Nach negativer telefonischer Info, habe ich den Body und das Objektiv gecancelt, Erhardt hat die Beiden Artikel sofort storniert, auf die Rückbuchung warte ich noch. Habe dann gleich die Sony A7 iv im Set bestellt und bekommen. Ich war bis dahin mit der Fa. Foto Erhardt zufrieden, werde mich aber wegen dieser Inkulant, anders orientieren

I bought this camera with a combo offer with Tamron 28-75 G2 lense. It was a great deal and I just love both the camera and the lens. The delivery to Vienna was very quick and it was packed really well. I will surely buy more lens from Foto Erhardt in future.

Eine tolle Kamera mit einer guten Ergonomie und einer für den Preis sehr guten Bildqualität.
Natürlich ist bei solchen semi-professionellen Kameras die Ausstattung an Verarbeitungsfunktionen geringer, als bei einer Reisekamera wie etwa einer A6xxx.
Umso wichtiger ist die Softwareausstattung im PC, und da hat es z.B. Adobe inzwischen geschafft, Raw im Lightroom (classic) und in PS zu unterstützen. Für 4K-Video und HS sieht es z.Zt. noch schlecht aus, nicht zuletzt wegen der fehlenden HW-Unterstützung. Überhaupt scheinen 8-Core-CPUs mit aktuellen GPUs im oberen Segment hier das Maß der Dinge zu werden. In AVCH-S geht es z.B. mit Pinnacle Studio Ultimate auch mit 4-2-2 10bit schon ganz gut, wenn auch für Schnell und Flüssig in > 200Mbit/s im Schneide-PC einige Optimierungen notwendig werden.
Alles in allem eine gute Kamera für die Gegenwart und mit Firmware-Updates (u.a. für Menü-Bugs) und einigen HW-Upgrades im PC wohl auch für die Zukunft. Ich erwarte nach den ersten Tests und Sessions nicht, dass ich den Kauf irgendwann bereuen muss.
Ach ja: Die 800 Bilder sind die Menge, die auf eine 160GB CF-Express-A-Karte passen. Im Dauerfeuer stockt es bei anderen Karten je nach Typ und Verteilung zwischen 30 und 70 Bildern (2x V90 ist optimal, V90+V60 reicht bis dahin und für 4K-Video aber auch).
Für einen Nicht-Profi, der seine Top-Leistung nicht durch Stunden in der Nachsortierung erreicht, sondern durch Foto-Wissen und Übung, sind mehr als 30 Serienbilder am Stück IMHO ohnehin überflüssig.. Die Rate/s könnte insbesondere bei verlustfrei komprimiertem Raw mit JPEG etwas höher sein, ist aber bei reinem Raw oder reinem JPEG völlig OK, zumal der Autofokus bei jedem Bild mitgeht und die Trefferzahl im Experiment echt gut ist.
