If you own a Sony camera, this might be the only lens you ever need – and it's just hit the lowest price it's ever been. You can buy the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 for just $699 – a $200 saving on the retail price!
The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is a superb standard trinity zoom for Sony E-mount cameras – including APS-C bodies where it delivers an equivalent 42-112.5mm focal range.
With its constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, not only does this lens offer formidable low light performance – it also enables you to achieve creative subject separation and out of focus backgrounds.
Its VXD system delivers swift, silent autofocus, its minimum focusing distance of 7.1 inches opens a wealth of creative possibilities, and it boasts a dedicated connection port to update firmware and custom functionality.
At its lowest price ever, this is a lens that deserves to be in every Sony shooter's bag.
