    A solid all around lens

    As an amateur photographer I try to give my perspective on the world the way I see things through the lens so that others can enjoy that experience and frozen moment in time. Having used native prime lenses as well as native telephoto lenses, the Tamarin 18-300 mm lens for Sony is a new for me. I picked it up mainly for travel and close quarter bird photography. The lens pairs nicely with my Sony a6300 providing me with an effective 27-450mm/35mm equivalent focal length. The zoom ring can feel a bit stiff but that’s fine as it does not allow lens creep. Since the lens is small and compact it doesn’t feel front end heavy when fully extended. When paired with my a FF Sony keep in mind that your megapixel count will drop due to super 35 mode. For example, when paired with my 24 megapixel Sony A73, I lose 14 megapixels (14 million pixels) of light resolution. Still not a big deal for me and shouldn’t be for anyone as long as you know what you are doing before you click your shutter leaving minimal work for post processing. While the lens has rubber gaskets to prevent dust and moisture from entering and damaging the elements, I still wipe mines down or dust with an air bladder just to be sure. It’s nice that Tamaron offers an extended 6 year warranty on their lens as well. Overall I am very pleased with the quality, reliability, and results of this lens as I used it with the barrel fully extended in light sun showers and no water or moisture entered to the elements. Attacked are 10 megapixel photos. Bet ya can’t tell the difference.

    Love it

    Great lens. Upgraded from sony 55-210mm. The extra zoom range is amazing. And having the wider 18mm save me from carrying two lens. Image quantity is also an improvement.

    Great everyday lens

    Purchased for an upcoming Alaskan Cruise. I own the Sony 70-350 osd and kit lenses but did not want to have to exchange lenses out in this trip. I took some test shots last night and admit I am impressed with this kens. I look forward to my Cruise and many adventures with this lens and my A6000 setup.

    A must-have lens

    It was perfect for our yellowstone adventure. With a better and affordable price, we captured a lot of wonderful scenery and wildlife in 100m yards away.

With this broad coverage, the lens empowers shooting in a wide variety of situations including everyday life and travel snapshots with wide-angle, dynamic ultra-telephoto, and macro photography.

Tamron - 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD for Sony E-Mount - Black
4.9(89)

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.

4.8(43)

The 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD (Model A047) for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras is a telephoto zoom lens designed and created so photographers of all skill levels can enjoy high quality images comfortably. Tamron’s new 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 covers a broad telephoto zoom range yet is the world's smallest size and lightest weight, coming in at 148mm (5.8 in) long with a maximum diameter of 77mm, and weighing just 545g (19.2 oz). With special emphasis on resolving power, Tamron has deployed special lens elements appropriately arranged to correct chromatic aberration, generally very strong in a telephoto lens, as well as other aberrations. Users can enjoy high-resolution images combined with the stunning bokeh qualities that are achievable only with a telephoto lens. The lens also incorporates the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit, a high-speed precision AF drive system that is remarkably quiet. Tamron's Moisture-Resistant Construction provides extra protection, while various features that are built into Sony mirrorless cameras, including "Eye AF," are supported. The 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 is a versatile lens for photographing landscapes, sports and other action, pets and wildlife and more. The lens also demonstrates its potential for portrait shooting, casual snapshots and scenarios that require you to be mobile and shoot handheld, like sporting events. The apparent image compression and the close-up effects characteristic of telephoto lenses naturally amplify photographic expression. Zooming in on distant objects and making them appear closer is one of the joys of telephoto shooting. This zoom lens provides an entryway into that new world.
