Product Manuals
Q: Will this lense be good for indoor volleyball?
A: Hi Co_Dad, Yes. This lens will be able to zoom on your subject very well which is good for sports. Since the amount of light will be limited on indoor sports, to avoid blurry picture you just need to set the ISO to a higher value to compensate with a faster shutter speed. -Anthony
Q: Hi What is this lens good for? ( Sony 55-210)
A: I personally use it for distance sports shots for basketball and baseball. Switch back to 16-50 for casual everyday photos that don't require the zoom.
Q: I received a Sony Mirrorless a-6000, will this lens work?
A: Hi Alicia! Yes. This lens is fully compatible with the Sony a6000 camera. -Anthony
Q: Is this Lens compatible with the Sony A7 Full Frame? Or will it only shoot in Crop sensor mode?
A: Hi Danny, The angle of view will be narrower down to that of APS-C size. -Anthony
Q: Will this lens work on a sony cyber shot exmor R?
A: I don't think it will work for normal digital camera as your cyber shot. This is for sony mirroless camera. I don't think you can buy any lens for your cyber shot.
Q: DOES THIS FIT SONY NEX 3??? I REALLY WANT TO BUY THIS LENS.....
A: All E lens fit the NEX-3
Q: Is this lens auto-focus or manual?
A: I’m certainly not an expert photographer, so my answer is in layman’s terms. I use this lens often for capturing my child at gymnastic meets, where I can’t get physically close to the action. My answer to your question is both. This lens itself does not have manual/auto focus switch, like some others do. The amount of zoom is manual as you frame your shot. The lens then works with the (Sony) camera’s auto-focus capability when the shot button is pressed halfway down.
Q: Is this lens a full frame lense or does it have a crop ratio?
A: Hi Scribz23, This model is not a full frame lens. It is designed for Sony mirrorless cameras with APS-C sized sensors. When connected to a full frame camera, the angle of view will be narrowed down to that of APS-C size. ~Ralph

The Tamron 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 (Model AFA071S-700) is the world’s first all-in-one zoom to achieve a maximum aperture of F2.8 at the 28mm wide-angle end. Despite covering a wide range of focal lengths, the lens is lightweight and compact, making it convenient to bring along for all your picture taking needs. When combined with a compact, lightweight full-frame/APS-C mirrorless camera, it allows photographers to capture virtually every scene they encounter in daily use, travel, sports and nature. Tamron did not compromise on optical performance. The use of special lens elements—including LD (Low Dispersion) and XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion)- help suppress chromatic aberrations, making it possible to achieve high image quality from edge to edge. With a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.19m (7.5 in) at the wide end and 0.8m (31.5 in) at the telephoto end, the lens also offers high-level close-up shooting performance. The AF drive system is powered by the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit to deliver high-speed, high-precision performance. The lens also features Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating for added protection.

Decent starter lens
Greater starter lens, I’ve shot over 100k sports photos with this lens and it’s still going. Not great in low light but I feel its value is worth the boat for a relatively “cheaper” lens.

Awesome lens
My Sony SteadyShot lens is a game changer pics come out sharp and clear, and the stabilization keeps everything smooth even when I’m shooting handheld. Super reliable and makes low-light shots way easier. Definitely one of my go-to lenses.

Worth it!
Absolutely no complaints. It's everything I wanted and more for the $300, in comparison to other E-Mount lenses with twice the focal length for almost five times the price. I find myself outside every night that the sky is clear, re- and disassembling my camera like a sniper rifle so I can take another picture of the moon with this lens.
