Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 Di III RXD + 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 Di III RXD E-mount

Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 Di III RXD

Among the special features of the Zoom 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD lens are its exceptionally high image quality and compact, handy design. With a length of just 99 mm and a weight of only 420 g, the Tamron 17 28mm F/2.8 is unrivaled in its class for compactness and lightness. The barrel does not change size when Zooming and focusing, contributing to the excellent handling of this ultra-wide-angle zoom lens and making this Zoom the ideal choice for users who travel a lot.

Excellent imaging performance

The optical construction of the 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD features 13 elements in 11 groups, including three aspherical lenses and two LD (low dispersion) elements, as well as an XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) element that has characteristics similar 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 backlight. Combined with the camera functions*, very high imaging performance is achieved across the entire focal length range, fully exploiting the potential of high-resolution sensors.

Short focusing distance for expressive perspectives

The 17-28mm F/2.8 makes it possible to shoot even at close range. Because the closest focusing distance is shorter at wide-angle than at telephoto, photographers can open up new creative possibilities for images with dynamic perspective and expressive depth (close objects appear larger, distant objects appear smaller). At 17 mm, the extremely short closest focusing distance of 19 cm (as with the 28-75mm F/2.8) enables fascinating close-up shots at a magnification of 1:5.2; at 28 mm, the shortest focusing distance is 26 cm (magnification of 1:6).

Quiet autofocus with RXD technology

The autofocus system features a sensor that detects the current focus setting of the lens and an RXD stepping motor (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive). These ensure particularly high speed and precision during focusing, enabling the user to keep even dynamic objects continuously in focus. At the same time, the autofocus works so quietly that virtually no disturbing focusing noise is recorded during video recording. The compact RXD technology also contributes significantly to the unmatched handiness of the 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD.

Weather-sealed construction and fluorine coating

The bayonet ring and other critical areas of the 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD are sealed against moisture and splashing water. This makes it possible to shoot outdoors with the lens 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 contamination, such as fingerprints or dirt splashes.

Sophisticated design and high-quality workmanship

The 17-28mm (model A046) is designed with the Zoom ring at the front and the focus ring at the rear. The design of the lens is based on the characteristic concept of high-quality Tamron lenses, which are characterized by a special sense of detail, meticulous workmanship, and optimal shaping. The salient brand features of the high-quality Tamron lenses include the bright gold ring and the intuitive operating concept.

Tamron 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 Di III RXD Sony E-mount

The 28-200mmF/2.8-5.6 is the world's first travel zoom lens with an F/2.8 aperture at a wide-angle focal length of 28mm. Its optical design is optimized for use with the current generation of high-resolution digital cameras. Multiple special lenses ensure high image quality across the entire focal length range, allowing users to fully exploit their creativity. With a length of only 117mm and a weight of 575g as well as filter size 67mm, it forms a handy, lightweight unit with a compact full-frame camera, making it the ideal photographic equipment for everyday and travel use, as well as for sports and nature photography.

The Tamron 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 combines the ease of use of a travel zoom lens, which offers a wide focal range despite its compact design, with the excellent image quality of a fast F/2.8-Zoom lens. This combination not only pushes the usual limits of what is technically possible, but also expands the user's photographic potential.

The optical construction of the travel zoom lens consists of 18 elements in 14 groups, including several special lenses such as GM (Glass Molded Aspherical), XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) elements and hybrid aspheres that minimize optical aberrations and enable high resolution values. The lens surfaces are coated with Tamrons BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating, whose anti-reflective property reduces distracting ghosting and aperture spotting for sharp and brilliant images. In addition, the camera's in-camera distortion and vignetting correction is supported, ensuring consistently high image quality right to the edges, regardless of the focal length selected. The 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 is just as suitable for spontaneous snapshots as it is for sophisticated, composed photo shoots.

The autofocus system features a sensor that detects the lens' current focus setting and an RXD (Rapid eXtra-silentstepping Drive) stepping motor. Both ensure fast and precise automatic focusing so that the focus can be continuously tracked even with dynamic subjects. The autofocus works so quietly that virtually no distracting focusing noise is recorded during video recording. The compact RXD technology also contributes significantly to the compactness of the 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6.

The Tamron 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 and the Tamron 17-28mm F/2.8 Zoom lens are compatible with many advanced features of mirrorless system cameras.

• Fast Hybrid AF
• Eye Detection AF
• Direct manual focus (DMF)
• Integrated lens correction (vignetting, color fringing, distortion)
• Lens firmware update via the camera
