Tamron has announced their latest Sony E-mount lens and this time it’s a 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD zoom lens for full-frame shooters.

Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Zoom Lens

The lens measures just 11.7cm (4.6″) long and weighs only 576g (20.3oz).

It is constructed of 18 elements, including glass-molded aspherical, hybrid aspherical, XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) elements. There’s a ‘BBAR’ coating that reduces flare and ghosting and the minimum focus distance is just 19.1cm (7.5″) at the wide-angle and 80cm (31.5″) at telephoto.

Unfortunately that wide f/2.8 aperture is really just for the wide-end as it soon jumps to f/3.2 at 32mm; f/3.5 at 44mm; f/4 at 54mm, f/4.5 at 80mm; f/5 at 115mm; f/5.6 at 150mm

The 28-200 makes use of a quiet stepping motor for autofocus and has a 67mm filter thread that is also found on Tamron’s 17-28, 28-75 and 70-180 lenses. The lens is moisture resistant, and the front element’s fluorine coating helps to repel oil and water.

The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 Di III RXD is expected to start shipping around June 25th for US $729.00 / £799.00 / €869.00 and is already available to pre-order from many stores.

About Timothy Mayo

I love shooting wildlife the most but will happily point my camera at pretty much anything. I started Alpha Shooters in 2017 to share my own photographic journey and experiences shooting with Sony Alpha. The site has since evolved into a popular community and resource. You can also find out more about my story here or follow me on Instagram if you wish. I also have a YouTube Channel but haven't published much content over the past year due to spending more time changing smelly nappies and also launching our community forums. However, I do plan to get back to creating content for YouTube in 2021!
