Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 set for Z-mount

Tamron's 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 lens will come in Z-mount form from 18 April.

The new lens features an optical construction containing 17 elements in 15 groups, with both LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements to control optical aberrations and deliver high resolution from edge-to-edge and corner-to-corner across the entire zoom range.

The lens' autofocus is driven by Tamron’s VXD linear motor focus mechanism, and the minimum focusing distance is just 18 cm at its widest focal length.

The 28-75mm measures just 119.8mm in length, and has a maximum diameter of 75.8mm. It weighs 550 grams, and accepts 67mm screw-in filters.

It also features a moisture and dust-resistant construction, and the lens elements have a fluorine coating to repel fingerprints.

The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 lens will set you back $1,699.
