    A great bargain lens that exceeds its price point

    It may be a bit slow focusing on my Sony A7r2 but the resolution is wonderful as well as the contrast and sharpness. It would resolve a 42mp as well as a 61mp sensor just fine. A truly bargain lens with great attributes.

    Budget priced, but quality wide-angle from Tamron

    Haven't had a chance to use this extensively yet, but this Tamron lens, as well as another one I've purchased recently (a long zoom), seem to be quite well-made and yet are very reasonably priced. Since I'm just a once-in-a-while photographer with asperations of catching a good shot here and there, I certainly don't need the higher-priced brand. The feel of the Tamron is light, but still solid. My Sony DSLR focused quickly with it, so no noticeable lag to me. Again, I'm happy with the purchase (and so is my bank account).

    Noisy autofocus but great picture quality.

    Affordable lens with fast, great autofocus and sharp picture quality. I am impressed with its macro capability with sharp picture, but has a loud autofocus noise. Would not recommend for videography due to the lens noise. Otherwise great for photography. One star taken off for the lens noise.

Tamron - 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 for Sony E-Mount - Black
4.8(39)

The 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065) is the “G2” 2nd-generation successor to the 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A056), a lens that won astounding acclaim from the marketplace and has been enjoyed by users around the world. The new model has been updated with TAMRON’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) and the optical design has been completely reworked from the ground up to attain uncompromising optical performance throughout the entire zoom range. In addition, the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) AF system faithfully fulfils the intentions of the photographer to a high degree of precision in steps of 0.005mm, less than one-tenth the width of a human hair to further enhance the tracking performance of moving objects such as vehicles and sports action, ensuring you never miss decisive scenes whether shooting still images or video. Also, the quietness offered by the linear motor system provides nearly silent performance when using the lens in conditions where noise needs to be minimized.

Tamron - 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD for Sony E-Mount - Black
4.9(91)

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.

Questions & Answers

  • Would this lens work with a Sony a7iii?

    Yes! I have the next model up, which has the same lens mount and full-frame as the a7iii, so the Tamron 20mm will work just fine.
