Best deal on a USA Tamron lens bundle

I have been eyeing the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 for my A7 IV and when it went on sale for the holidays, I picked up this kit. It was an outstanding price for the lens, two quality lens filters, and cleaning supplies. The lens has exceeded my expectations for quality, size and weight. The lens filters were about half the price I could find them for elsewhere. Even the microfiber cloth and cleaning supplies are of good quality. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and could not find a better deal anywhere.

Great lens, solid bundle

Lens is terrific - great image quality. Accessories in this kit are nice bonus. Filters and case very useful. The software is irrelevant for me, but might be worthwhile for others.

Great wide angle lens

I just love this lens. It provides me a great focal length to play with wide angle compositions that are not possible with a standard zoom range lens. Although I need to keep changing lenses pretty often, I love the image quality it offers for the price. Totally unbeatable!

Great wide angle zoom lens

This lens completes my Tamron trinity, and like the other members of my trinity, I absolutely love this lens. It's great for landscape and panorama shots, I've also used it for car shows and similar events with fantastic results.The very sharp and vibrant images you get from this lens are amazing, and the auto focus is just insane!. I've always been a huge Tamron fan since my film days ( early 80's ). The only negative that I see is that some people don't like plastic. I love it, It's light weight and has a graphite feel, with the high quality glass, these are some awesome lenses, at great prices. I've been using Tamron for 40 yrs. and never had one break on me. I highly recommend this lens

Not as good as the Canon 10-22mm for Canon EF-S

I'm really disappointed. The photos I took with this lens on the Sony a7iii body are less sharp than the photos I took with the canon 10-22mm lens on my Canon T5i body. I hate to pay 2-3k for a better wide angle zoom but I may have to.

Best cost benefit wide angle for Sony system

When it comes to a must in Sony cameras for video (even if you are streaming), this lens is by far the best cost benefit you can get for the money. The fact that are small, paired with an a7c, you can go ahead with a very discrete rig and make awesome videos.

This was a great package deal and Adorama did a great job helping me work out the details of getting the products I wanted and needed. The lens itself has been fantastic. It's extremely sharp, had great color and contrast, and a solid autofocus. The flash also seems to be solidly made and creates a nice light output.

Great lens and great IQ

I rented both the tamron 17-28 and the Sony 16-35 gm and found that the Tamron approached or equaled the IQ of the GM lens. I figured that for the 1200 savings between these two I could get the new Sony 35mm GM and have far better IQ than the 16-35 could provide and come out a a touch better on cost. This is a great lens, I’m really impressed with what Tamron did with this.

Chose Tamron over Sony & Zeiss!

Really happy with the lens! After weeks of research and debating between the Sony G Master 16-35, Zeiss 16-35 and this Tamron lens. I am glad I went with the Tamron. The images are crystal clear and the color on them is spectacular. The lens is very light weight, durable and much more affordable than the other two.

Great lens!

I have found this lens to be very sharp, and to work well with Sony autofocus. As with any lens this wide, there is some distortion and foreshortening. That is still something I am learning to deal with, but that is inherent in any lens this wide. Overall, I have been very happy with this lens's performance so far, and it has allowed me to get real estate shots that were just not possible before.

About Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD

PRO REVIEW by Marcie Reif, Lifestyle and Street Photographer

"I literally bought the Sony mirrorless camera just to use this lens after trying it out! It’s incredibly sharp and versatile. I have used it for so many different types of work and I’m consistently impressed with its high-level performance. "

Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Lens for Sony E Mount

Tamron introduces the 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD, a full-frame lens with a versatile zoom for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. It has an f/2.8 maximum aperture which has a consistent brightness across its zoom range while having better control over its depth of field. It has Extra low dispersion (XLD) and low dispersion (LD) elements which help reduce chromatic aberrations and improve the color accuracy of your images. These elements also have the Broad-Band Anti-Reflection (BBAR) Coating to suppress internal reflections and lessen lens flare and ghosting, giving you better clarity, contrast, and color fidelity, especially when shooting under strong light conditions. The Tamron 17-28mm has the smooth and ultra-quiet Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive (RXD) autofocus motor that is essential for both capturing stills and shooting video. The Tamron lens has a minimum object distance of only 7.5-inches, which makes applying soft blurs to your shots easier and allows for better close-up shots. Have consistent and high-quality shots with the new Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Lens.
