Overview

The Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III VXD G2 offers significantly improved optics and faster autofocus over its predecessor. Its sharpness is impressive, with a remarkable close-focus capability of 1:2.7 at 28mm. However, raw distortion shows high pincushion in the mid-to-tele range. Build uses improved plastic with a smoother zoom ring and weather sealing, plus a USB-C port for customization. It suits event and portrait photographers seeking a compact, affordable f/2.8 zoom.
