Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Sony FE)

The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is a fast standard zoom lens for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras and the successor to the popular 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (model A036). Its most important innovations include high resolution and excellent image quality. The new lens has a redesigned optical system but is as compact as the previous model. The optical design incorporates LD and GM elements to minimize aberrations. Imaging performance is very high at every focal length and across the entire image area. A beautiful bokeh is produced when the aperture is open. These and many other innovations make the 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 the first choice for anyone looking to maximize their creativity.

VXD autofocus
VXD autofocus is a world premiere: It is the first linear focusing motor developed by Tamron for superior autofocusing. The two VXD modules, which operate in a floating system and are controlled by electronic pulses, ensure fast and accurate focusing on near and distant objects. The new motor also guarantees improved AF tracking, for example when shooting sports. The autofocus operates so quietly that you can shoot even in situations that require complete stillness.

MR - Splash Protection
Tamron lenses have a weatherproof lens hood that optimally protects the sensitive interior from wind and weather. The robust outer shell is effectively sealed against moisture ingress at all critical points (e.g. between the focus ring and bayonet connection). This ensures reliable operation even in the most adverse outdoor shooting conditions.

Special XLD optical elements
Similar to LD, prevents chromatic aberration and other defects. XLD, however, is a much more sophisticated system that is mostly used in telescopes.

Special LD optical elements
Colour defect is a common defect in optics, manifesting itself in many ways. We are talking about so-called chromatic aberration, which is more common in wide-angle lenses. LD elements are made of special optical glasses with extremely low dispersion, which effectively compensate for the colour defect, especially noticeable when using telephoto lenses in the extreme position.

IF - Internal Focusing
With internal focusing lenses, the length of the lens does not change as the focusing process proceeds and the filter ring does not rotate with it. This makes it easier to handle, especially with longer telephoto lenses, and to shoot with polarizing and graduated filters. Other advantages include a shorter focusing distance over the entire focus area and less light loss at the corners of the image (vignetting) and less focus-related aberrations.

Anti-reflective and high-tech layers - FLR
Fluoride coating permanently protects the front lens from contamination. Oil and water droplets do not adhere to the surface, which is therefore very easy to clean.

Tamron Lens Utility
The TAMRON Lens Utility software has been developed specifically for the configuration of compatible lenses. The TAMRON Lens Utility can be operated using a computer by connecting the lens from its connector port via a USB-C cable. Users can customize functions and update firmware through the lens. Using individual settings, the lens can be optimally adapted to the respective shooting situation, such as photography or video shooting.
