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.

The Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Lens Model A046 achieves an astonishingly small diameter for a high-speed ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, as witnessed by its modest 67mm filter size. Its unprecedented light weight and compact size provide excellent balance when used with a full-frame mirrorless camera, making it easy to carry, and enabling it to cater to a wide range of scenes and shooting conditions. The Model A046 offers a fast 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, fast constant F/2.8 aperture and Minimum Object Distance of 7.5 in at the wide-angle end encourages richly expressive and creative photography in a multitude of scenarios. The Model A046's AF drive system is powered by the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit, enabling it to deliver high-speed, high-precision and superbly quiet operation suitable for shooting video as well as still photographs.
The 17-28mm zoom features a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.19m (7.5 in) at the wide 17mm end, rendering a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5.2.
At the tele end, the MOD is 0.26m (10 .2 in) and the maximum magnification ratio is 1:6. You can easily get close for a powerful shot. Plus, you can produce soft expressions with a shallow depth of field distinctive to large aperture lenses by fully opening the aperture when shooting close to the subject.
The AF drive on the 17-28mm zoom includes an RXD (Rapid extra-silent stepping Drive) motor unit to help you stay focused on the action. A sensor that accurately detects the position of the lens enables high-speed and precise AF, which is ideal when shooting continually moving subjects or recording video.
