Product Description

The new 17-28mm F/2. 8 Di III RXD (Model A046) is a large aperture, ultra wide-angle lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Model A046 features a filter diameter of 67mm (astonishingly small for a full-frame, large aperture, ultra wide-angle zoom lens) as well as an unprecedented light weight of 14. 8 oz. and diminutive length of 3. 9 in. The compact size provides excellent balance on the small profile mirrorless cameras and is easy to carry. The lens offers a large F/2. 8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range and delivers high-resolution and contrast edge-to-edge. The combination of ultra-wide-angle focal length, large constant F/2. 8 aperture and an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 7. 5 in. at the wide-angle end encourages richly expressive and creative photography in a multitude of scenarios.

    From the manufacturer

    Tamron 17-28 Sony E

    A lens as luminous as your creative vision

    The 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD is a large aperture ultra wide-angle zoom lens for Sony E-mount that was designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras and provides unrivalled portability and superb image quality. The dramatic 17-28mm zoom range adds new dimensions to photographing landscapes, cityscapes, mountains and scenic vistas—as well as groups and building interiors. Strategically deployed LD (Low Dispersion) and XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens elements thoroughly suppress chromatic aberration. The combination of ultra wide-angle focal length and an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.19m (7.5 in) at the wide-angle end encourages richly expressive and creative photography. The new 17-28mm zoom’s AF drive system is powered by the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit that enables it to deliver high-speed, high-precision operation. In addition, the new lens features Moisture-Resistant Construction and a hydrophobic Fluorine Coating that repels fingerprints and dirt.

    Tamron 17-28 Sony E

    Compact size you can take anywhere—and everywhere

    Tamron makes large aperture ultra wide-angle photography more exciting, and for this lens we focused on usability. The 17-28mm zoom range was carefully selected; that paved the way for a surprisingly small size—just 99mm (3.9 in) long, weighing but 420g (14.8 oz). The overall length of the lens does not change during zooming, thereby offering consistent handling and stable shooting operations. In addition, the Φ67mm filter size is small for a large aperture ultra wide-angle zoom lens. Plus, it shares the same filter diameter as the high-speed standard zoom lens in the series, the 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036). This means the same filters such as PL (Polarizer), lens caps and other accessories may be used for both models.

    Beautifully capture every scene and vista

    Tamron 17-28 Sony E

    The 17-28mm zoom provides magnificent image quality without compromise despite its compactness. Two LD lens elements and one XLD element (which has properties close to fluorite) are precisely located to quash chromatic and other aberrations. In addition, the BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating applied to lens surfaces reduces ghosting and flare that are otherwise likely to occur when shooting against the sunset’s glow and other backlit situations. Leveraging camera functions*, it provides excellent optical performance matching the latest high resolution image sensors from edge-to-edge throughout the entire zoom range. The 17-28mm zoom invites you into the breathtaking world of ultra wide-angle photography. * When shooting with the camera’s lens correction function enabled.

    Customers have mixed opinions about the image quality of the camera lens. Some mention that it gets clear shots, while others are muddy and soft. It's great for stills, but not so much for video.

    Customers are mixed about the zoom of the camera lenses. Some mention it has an excellent wide zoom for the Sony A7III, while others say that it has a short zoom range and odd image. The zoom and focusing rings are swapped from what's traditional, and it's not zoom enough for portraits.

    "...I feel like this lens has too short of a zoom range and many would be better served by a wide angle prime such as the Sony 20mm G or 24mm GM...." Read more

    "...You can focus up close on objects, I believe as close as 7 1/2 inches. I don't do too much video work, but I going to try it out on a my gimbal...." Read more

    "...17mm is not wide enough as real Fisheye (14mm) and 28mm is not zoom enough for portraits like a 35mm at least...." Read more

    "...Sharp as a tack and definitely wide enough, plus that zoom comes in more handy than you might think!..." Read more

    Slightly Overhyped but solid nonetheless

    Slightly Overhyped but solid nonetheless
    Took this on a trip to Atlanta Georgia, and this thing was hit and miss. It gets clear shots, but you really have to try on landscapes, because sometimes it comes out way too soft. I expected some crazy clarity...and honestly My sigma f1.4 in super 35 mode was just as good...and better in low light. This lens is made like cheap garbage. Hollow plastic, and entry-level features galore, which I could forgive if all pictures were exceptional. It does great for portraits...but as a walk around lens...it's not gamechaning. In fact it's pretty disappointing for 899 buck before tax! These are edited uncompressed raw photos from My A7RII, from My trip. Some really great shots...but nothing My sigma f1.4 16mm couldn't do in super 35 mode. Pretty disappointing honestly. It needs to drop to about $699 before it would be worth it. While some photos explode with clarity, others are muddy and soft. Definitely not GM quality. Results are inconsistent. That said it's a good lens..but definitely overpriced and overhyped. Lower your expectations a bit, and it'll wow you. Do NOT go into it expecting sony G master quality. It won't be there. I don't care what YouTube reviews claim, in real world use this thing is not at that level. Best of luck!- Q

    my first order had something wrong, so I return to Amazon and re-order a new one.
    Fast shipping, takes only 17 hours. I am afraid if I got a used one again, but I think this time is brand new, everything is goodq.
    moving on to the quality of the lens. It has a plastic body, so It's very light for a gimbal
    like Zhiyun weebill lab. You gonna love it if you are videographor.
    I have Sony A7R4, A7M3 and A6500 body, and 6 sony lenses, 2 sigma lenses. I never used tamron before, so I was little worried about the quality. I took some shots and you can see the photos.
    The lens is sharp, auto focus is fast and accurate. The price is the best deal in Canada ( retail price $1399).
    I highly recommend this one if you need a wide angle lens, It's better than my 16
    -35mm F4 zeiss.
    ps: Amazon has the best customer service, professional, easy going and efficient!
