Product Description
The Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 is the world’s first all-in-one-zoom to achieve a maximum aperture of F2.8 at the 28mm wide-angle end. The new lens takes the convenience of an all-in-one zoom and adds a fast-maximum aperture of F2.8 and remarkable image quality to enhance the potential for photographic applications. To assure superb optical performance, it features a precise arrangement of special lens elements that accommodate the increasingly high resolutions of today’s digital cameras. Enabling high quality image rendering throughout the zoom range, the lens responds to users’ photographic expressions in powerful style. With its 4.6” length, 20.3 oz. weight, and filter diameter of a mere 67mm, the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 offers excellent portability. When combined with a compact, lightweight full-frame mirrorless camera, it allows photographers to capture virtually every scene they encounter in daily use, travel, sports and nature. Breaking conventional limitations and broadening the horizons of photographic possibilities, this zoom lens writes a new chapter in the history of the all-in-one zoom lens.
From the manufacturer
Unprecedented blend of optical performance and versatility
New, innovative all-in-one lens that does it all
Tamron has distilled all the technical capabilities and know-how amassed over the last 28 years in its development of all-in-one zoom lenses into the creation of this 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD (Model A071), designed exclusively for Sony E-mount. The lens has a large maximum aperture of F2.8 at 28mm wide end, which represents a world’s first* for all-in-one zoom lenses, and delivers high-level performance across the entire zoom range, from the 28mm wide-angle end to 200mm telephoto. Despite covering a wide range of focal lengths, the lens is lightweight and compact, with a length of 117mm (4.6 in) and a weight of 575g (20.3 oz). Aside from day-to-day portability, the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6’s lightweight and compact size make it especially convenient for travel photos, where users wish to avoid the burden of heavy baggage. Tamron has also taken an uncompromising approach to optical performance, making liberal use of special lens elements—including LD (Low Dispersion) and XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) —to greatly suppress chromatic aberrations, and making it possible to achieve high image quality from edge to edge. With an 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. When it comes to all-in-one zooms, the innovative 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 is in a class by itself and vividly captures virtually all possible scenes, from landscape photography to portrait photos and snapshots. Among currently available all-in-one zoom lenses for interchangeable lens cameras (zoom ratio of 7x or higher) (As of May 2020: Tamron)
Maximum aperture at the 28mm setting is a blazing fast F2.8
The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 is the first*1 all-in-one zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras to offer a maximum aperture of F2.8. It maintains outstanding performance throughout the entire zoom range, and aperture values of F3.5 at 50mm, F4.5 at 100mm, F5.6 at 200mm. From landscape photography to portrait photos and snapshots, the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 delivers finely detailed images in a wide range of shooting situations. The generous use of special LD and XLD lens elements (with properties close to those of fluorite) enables it to thoroughly minimize chromatic and other aberrations, while the application of BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating offers high anti-reflective benefits and reduces ghosting and flare that are otherwise likely to occur when shooting backlight scenes. Additionally, by leveraging camera functionality*2, the lens delivers excellent optical performance to match the high-resolution image sensors on the latest cameras, achieving beautiful images that are a cut above all-in-one zoom lenses of the past. *1 Among currently available all-in-one zoom lenses for interchangeable lens cameras (zoom ratio of 7x or higher) (As of May 2020: Tamron) *2 When shooting with the camera’s lens correction function enabled.

28mmFrom wide-angle to telephoto, all-in-one zoom lenses deliver a wider range of usefulness, from everyday snaps to travel and much more. |
50mmThat’s why Tamron pursued a high level of portability in the development of the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6, achieving a compact, lightweight design that’s a mere 117mm (4.6 in) long and weighs just 575g (20.3 oz). |
100mmThe small size enables comfort and convenience, even during extensive travel, without the burden of a heavy camera bag. The 67mm filter size is the same as other lenses in Tamron’s mirrorless lens lineup*. |
200mmThis means that the filters such as PL (Polarizer) and lens caps can be used for all models in the series, for greater convenience and less hassle during lens changes. |
Close-up shooting performance that’s astonishing for an all-in-one zoom lens
The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 delivers amazing close-up performance for an all-in-one zoom lens. At 28mm wide-angle, the MOD is 0.19m (7.5 in) with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.1, and at the 200mm telephoto end it has an MOD of 0.8m (31.5 in) with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.8. In addition to capturing stunning close-up images, you can leverage the blurred background bokeh utilizing a large F-number and enjoy unique close-up shots that were not possible with all-in-one zoom lenses until now.
High performance autofocus system means you'll own every shooting opportunity
The AF drive on the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 includes an RXD motor unit to help you stay focused on the action. RXD uses an actuator to precisely control the rotational angle of the motor, allowing it to directly drive the focusing lens without passing through a reduction gear. A sensor that precisely detects the position of the lens enables high-speed and accurate AF, which is ideal when shooting continually moving subjects or recording video. And with a focusing system that is both smooth and quiet, the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 lets you shoot free from stress not worrying the drive sound in a quiet environment.
The extensive zoom range means you can capture every situation
The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 for Sony E-mount covers a broad range of focal lengths in a single lens, starting from 28mm at the wide-angle end to 200mm at the telephoto end. This versatile range enables diverse photographic expression, from wide-angle shooting of expansive landscapes to close-up and compressive compositions in telephoto shooting. The compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry the lens with ease, anytime, anywhere. The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 is a very convenient lens that can be used for nearly any genre, from vast landscapes to snapshots around town, table-top photography and for professional-looking portraits.

The picture quality is very sharp. One thing to note is that the stabilization on the lens is not the best but if you have camera body that has stabilization built in, it shouldn’t be an issue. Shooting on a tripod gives me the best results in terms of stability.
The camera isn’t a fixed exposure but I wish it was. The aperture is adjusted with the zoom. Though it isn’t the most important thing as I don’t shoot at F2.8 all the time it would’ve been amazing if that was an option though.
When I say it blows it out of the water I mean the picture image quality is just so clear with great bokeh also.
It's perfect for travel, as you get a full 28-200mm range (and can easily crop in to 400mm equivalent on a high-resolution body (see my attached bird in bush picture). No more fumbling with lenses as your kids run ahead and your spouse taps their foot; you can cover pretty much everything with just a flick of your wrist. It even handles semi-macro well (see attached bee photo).
Typically superzooms trade off sharpness and maximum aperture for their versatility, but this lens instead narrows its range by 4mm to maintain both a wider F2.8-F5.6 aperture and outstanding center sharpness. Be aware that this lens does not feature stabilization and is best used with a camera that has in-body image stabilization. That said, the brighter apertures of this lens allow you to compensate with faster shutter speeds as well.
Overall I would strongly recommend this lens to anyone who is looking for a first or travel lens for an A7X body, as it is a jack-of-all-trades for a very reasonable price.

The lens provides a quality picture taking from wide to mid telephoto
1. Construction is mostly plastic but well made and feels very solid. Lens mount is metal.
2. This is a fast f/2.8 lens at the wide end (28 mm) and a reasonable f/5.6 at the long end (200 mm).
3. Fast autofocus.
4. Image quality is excellent throughout the range.
5. Weather sealed so can be taken out in inclement weather.
6. No image stabilisation as it depends on the camera's IBIS.
7. Includes a hood but no case.
8. Lighter than the equivalent Sony lens.
Pros:
1. Compact, light and well made lens.
2. Faster than the competition.
3. Excellent image quality throughout the zoom range.
4. Good weather sealing.
Cons:
1. 28 mm wide angle rather than the more typical 24 mm seen in the Sony.
2. Has no built in optical stabilization and relies on the camera for image stabilization which is not always the most optimum solution (having both helps performance).
Summary: Thoroughly recommended.
Note: When I purchased this lens from Amazon I did not get a US warranty from Tamron and it appears to be a gray market product. I did not find this out until I tried to register the lens with Tamron which indicated that it was not a US market version. Check the supplier before you buy. Look for the Tamron 6 Year US warranty.
28-200mm ... That range covers just about everything from portrait to landscape and everything in between. This will be my go-to lens for traveling for the foreseeable future.
I shoot on the Sony A7R5 and the lens seems to talk perfectly with the camera. The autofocus is crisp, clear, and quick.
