I Love This Lens: Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD Review
I’ve learned something over the years; if anyone knows how to make a superzoom lens, it’s Tamron. They’ve made a few that were great in the past decade. And with the Tamron 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 Di III RXD, I’m impressed on a level I didn’t expect to be.
Pros:
- Small, Lightweight, A handy range of focal lengths, A useful set of apertures too!, There’s a lock at the wider end, though it’d be better if it locked at specific focal lengths too, Small, Light, Affordably priced at $799, Sharp, Compact for carrying
Cons:
- Believe it or not, this lens could use image stabilization

Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD A071 Lens for Sony E - Brand New review
The Tamron 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 Di III is a small and light all-in-one zoom designed for mirrorless cameras with full-frame sensors. At the time of writing, it was only available in Sony E-mount, and costs more in some regions than Sony’s own FE 24-240mm super-zoom, while lacking its broader zoom range...

Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD Review
The Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD is a full-frame zoom lens with a big 7.1x ratio. Its quality build and optics offer plenty of appeal for enthusiasts and pros looking for a one-lens solution. Pro photographers and shutterbugs often turn their noses up when it comes to all-in-one zoom lenses. There's a reason—most don't set the world on fire, optically, and skimp out when it comes to fit and finish. Tamron is changing hearts and minds with its 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD ($729), available exclusively for Sony camera systems. It couples a sturdy build with very good optical performance, and manages to keep everything small enough to appeal to travel photographers. If you're thinking about an all-in-one zoom for your Sony, this is the one to get.Sensibly Sized, Well Made The 28-200mm is relatively small, especially when you think about its wide range of coverage and full-frame sensor compatibility. When set to the 28mm position it measures 4.6 by 2.9 inches (HD); the barrel telescopes as you zoom in, nearly doubling in length. There is a lock switch to keep it set at 28mm, useful if you're letting your camera hang at your side, or for ensuring things don't move around t...
Pros:
- Long zoom for wide angle and telephoto imaging
- Works with full-frame and APS-C sensor models
- All-weather construction with fluorine coating
- 1:3 macro focus
- Sized well for travel
Cons:
- Only available for Sony systems
- Reliant on in-camera stabilization
- Uncorrected Raw shots exhibit distortion and vignette

Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD A071 Lens for Sony E - Brand New review
This lens is very impressive indeed. The quality of results is far better than we might expect, and extremely well held even at the longer focal lengths, often a weak spot with zoom lenses. There is also the option of switching in the in-camera corrections if desired.
Pros:
- Excellent sharpness, and sharpness holds well at 200mm, Good CA control, Excellent flare resistance, Good distortion control, Modest vignetting, Nice bokeh, Close focusing, Excellent AF, Weather resistance, Excellent handling, Fair price, Light and compact

Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD A071 Lens for Sony E - Brand New review
Tamron is the first third party to make a superzoom for full-frame mirrorless, and it's an attractive choice for $730, considering the impressive image quality, solid build, and generally reliable overall performance.
Pros:
- Incredible image quality, for a superzoom, Fast aperture, for a superzoom, Most portable, lightweight of all full-frame superzooms, Attractive value for the performance and quality, Weather sealing and solid build quality, Impressive autofocus speed & reliability in most conditions
Cons:
- Besides sharpness, other image quality aspects are less-than-perfect, Build quality not "GM" status, No-frills basic physical design, No VC (OSS) which is increasingly useful at longer focal lengths, Odd thermal noise pattern at 28mm, ISO 12800, 30 sec.

Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD A071 Lens for Sony E - Brand New review
Tamron’s 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD is only available with the Sony FE mount so far but its combination of an affordable price, compact size, light weight and decent performance give it an advantage over its rivals. It’s one of the best convenience zoom lenses we’ve tested.
