Tamron's updated 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 for Sony FE — improved optics and AF over the hugely popular original.
The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 launched in 2024 as the second generation of Tamron's massively popular constant f/2.8 standard zoom for Sony FE mount. The G2 improved optics, AF speed, and close focus over the original.
Optically very good — sharper than the already-capable original with improved corner performance. VXD linear motor AF is fast and precise. Constant f/2.8. Close focus at 18cm at 28mm with 1:2.7 macro ratio. Designed natively for Sony mirrorless — excellent AF integration.
Sony FE mount with 67mm filter thread. Approximately 540g — compact for constant f/2.8. Moisture-resistant construction. Internal zoom. Tamron Lens Utility compatible for AF fine-tuning. Minimum focus distance 18cm at 28mm.
New to used market. The original 28-75mm was one of the best-selling Sony FE lenses ever. The G2 improves without changing the winning formula. The Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 DG DN is the main competitor. Outstanding value for Sony FE constant f/2.8 zoom.
