Tamron28-75mm F/2.8 for Sony Mirrorless Full Frame E Mount (Tamron 6 Year Limited USA Warranty) Black

One of the best investments I've made in photography-related equipment in a while. This lens is tact sharp, has a decently large, standard telephoto range, and is rather sturdy.The Tamron 28-75mm is easily one of the sharpest lenses available for the Sony in its category. As far as I can tell, it is only slightly softer than the over-$2000 Sony 24-70mm for less than $900, although in some cases I have seen it actually beating the Sony in sharpness. The Autofocus has been fixed through easily installed firmware and is now relatively fast. Not the fastest, but definitely not as slow as it was before, and may even be faster than the Sony as well.The biggest fault to the lens would easily have to be its build quality; despite being a rather sturdy lens, the materials used fall short of equivalent Sony lenses, even the cheaper Sony 85mm f/1.8 which is built like a tank, is even sharper, and costs less, although it is a prime which makes it hard to really equate the two.Easily recommended.

I checked all the youtube videos on this lens before making my purchase. I am extremely happy with this lens and plan on getting the 17-28mm once I sell all my canon lenses. I shoot with a Sony A7II and got tired of using Canon lenses with a sigma mc-11 adapters. Some Sony features wouldn't work such Eye AF, even wide metering. The camera would just hunt unless you changed the metering mode to center or flexible spot. So I decided to invest in a quality lens that would allow me to use all Sony feautures but at a affordable price. When I say affordable i mean compared to Sony prices. I own a Sony 28mm f2.8, Rokinon 35mm f2.8 and the canon 24-105mm. I bought the Tamron 28-75mm to replace all those lenses.I am so impressed with the quality of the all pics. I also take portraits and you can see the all of the details on a person skin and clothing. My friends at time ask me to loan them my lens while we are shooting models. They keep saying I need to buy this lens. I like the range that it gives me because I shoot cityscape, street photography and portraits and I can do it all with this lens. no more back pain from carrying multiple lenses and adapters.This is a good investment. to see recent samples of pics taken with the Tamron 28-75mm just visit my instagrams pages belowmusicman33us - Cityscape, Street photographyPortraits: rays_portraits_nycThanks

Disclaimer: I’m a photography enthusiast, not a professional. And I use the Sony a7iii body.Likes:- excellent (fast and accurate) autofocus on par with native Sony lens (of which I’ve used several). Works great with continuous autofocus - my 3 year old has put it through its paces indoors.- lightweight- moisture resistant- very good flare resistance (your images don’t get that annoying haze when you take pictures on sunny days facing the sun - and if they do it’s easily corrected in post).- very good color rendition.- very good out of camera contrast- ridiculously sharp (especially in the center, quite sharp in the corners, great sharpness throughout range).- one of the smaller zooms. Only the Sony Zeiss 24-70f4 is smaller.- f2.8 constant aperture allows for nice headshots/portraits at 75mm and great light gathering at 28mm- good bokehDislikes- a wee bit long. Not truly discrete.- zoom ring is reversed from focus ring. Feels weird. But if this is your first lens, it won’t matter. And after a while of only using this lens, it doesn’t matterNeutral- build quality. I think it looks and feels nice. Nowhere near as nice as most Sony Zeiss lenses. Some pros don’t like the plasticky feel. But for my purposes (family photos indoor and outdoor, vacation/travel and just everyday life) it’s top notch.Summary: Excellent all round lens for any amateur or enthusiast so long as you don’t need anything wider or longer.

I've had this lens for a few months. I got it thinking that I can really take my portraits and photography to the next level. Then, COVID-19 hit and all work slowed down. However, before the pandemic, I was asked to do some senior portraits. I was happy that they still wanted them and we were able to get some quality shots in during the reopening period in June this year.I'm totally satisfied with the way this lens performs. The lens is a beast! This lens quiet, easy to handle, lightweight, and tact sharp. Tamron is knocking it out the park these days with their zoom lenses. I had no issues with lens flare when shooting with the sun and HSS using a softbox. I really like the colors that this lens renders. I shoot in raw, so I tend to do color correction in post.If you are fundamentally sound, cameras and lenses these days are making photography pretty easy.Based on my experience with this lens, I'm going to get the Tamron 70-180.

First off, I am both a beginner and a hobbyist that decided during the quarantine "Hey, this would be a fun little hobby to do to get out of the house". So my opinion is coming completely from someone who casually enjoys this artform. That being said, I love this lens with the A7rII. I've definitely tried a plethora of rental lenses, and this one was my favorite in terms of the quality you got with the pricing. I've tried other Brand's comparables to this, and this was the one that personally came out on top to me. It isn't unbearably large or heavy, it feels well made, and the pricing was much more manageable for someone who isn't a professional. Auto focus sometimes seems a little slower depending on the lighting, but overall, I really enjoy this lens and I'm proud that this would be the first one I ever purchased instead of renting.

At $800-$900 dollars this lens is a great deal. Pretty sharp, pretty fast, and OKAY build quality. There is some plastic in the build, but it is lightweight and weather sealed. Good deal for my a7iii.
