Great lens! No complaints, and a fraction of the price of similar Sony lenses, with the same level of quality.

Love the ability to have F2.8 at 70mm. Produces fantastic images for the price.

I've had this lens for a couple of years now. I still love it. Much more compact than the Sony f2.8 and really hard to discern the quality difference. For half the cost, I would definitely purchase again.

I wanted a midrange f/2.8 zoom lens and this was the first alternative to Sony 24-70/2.8 GM with was probably about $2200 in 2019! So Tamron at $800 was about 1/3 of that! And I had seen comparisons that established the image quality to be nearly the same. So it was a no-brainer. I must point out that the GM is 880 grams while Tamron is 550 grams and for similar image quality and focal range and price and weight advantage, there was no comparison for me. I wasn't a busy wedding photographer, but an occasional event shooter and primarily a real estate photographer. I highly recommend this lens, however Sigma 24-70/2.8 Art was not available then and depending on your budget and needs you might consider Sigma for better build and optical quality as well as 24mm on the wide end which is pretty major difference if you shoot in tight spaces. The focusing is absolutely silent and accurate and the images are plenty sharp on 24MP of A7iii.

I haven't used my new lens that much but I already love it. For its price and its capabilities I cannot recommend it more. It could definitely use a UV filter though to maximize the quality of your photo and video.

This lens is so versatile! I use it mainly for landscape wedding portraits of venues and couples! Great for this! & love how incredibly sharp it is!

It was surprisingly good for its price. I needed a filler between 20mm-70mm and it does it well. Having f/2.8 and up to 75mm allows me to take pictures at 50mm and I can get by with portraits at 75mm. It is a great lens to leave on the camera for most circumstances.

I love this lens! It has a nice feel to it. Has been super sharp so far. Very versatile and compares well to a Canon or even Sony Gmaster 24-70mm. Amazing value for the price!

Bought this with the hopes it would be used in enough rotation with my 21mm, 28mm & 85mm prime lenses, and my 70-200mm GM lens, to make it worthwhile. I'm embarrassed to now say, I used it for >90% of all stills and video I shoot. I can rarely justify using any other lens.

Love this. Made it super easy in smaller spaced shoots and run and gun situations!

selling my GM
By Peter G.
Ive been shooting with this lens for the last 2 days, on actual photoshoots and it has been flawless. I actually listed my GM on ebay after the first day. Sharpness has been truely amazing. Shooting on a A7R3. I compared it to my GM and couldnt justify keeping the GM. The Tamron for my use it a better lens with better autofocus speed and 99% the same sharpness? your review here. It must be at least 10 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or...

Highly recommend this lens !! This lens with my Sony A7iii equals winning, Zero problems with focusing so far . A+
Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036). A high-speed standard zoom lens for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras, Model A036 delivers superb optical performance, including both outstanding image quality and beautiful background blur effects (bokeh). Photographers may enjoy dynamic wide-angle expressions like never before thanks to a minimum object distance of 7.5 in at the wideangle zoom setting. Usefulness and versatility are enhanced by its compact size and light weight, measuring only 4.6 in and weighing 19.4 oz. Model A036 incorporates an all-new high-speed and precise AF driving system.
The RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit operates with remarkable quietness, making it perfect for video use. The lens also features Moisture-Resistant Construction that is helpful in outdoor photography, plus hydrophobic Fluorine Coating that is highly resistant to fingerprints and debris. In addition, A036 is compatible with the "Direct Manual Focus (DMF)" system feature of Sony cameras, enabling this new zoom to take full advantage of the advanced functions that ensure comfortable user experiences.
