Tamron Co., Ltd. has once again captured the attention of photography enthusiasts and professionals alike with the launch of its latest lens, the 10.7x all-in-one zoom lens 28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD (Model A074) for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Set for release on August 29, 2024, at $899, this lens promises to deliver a compelling combination of performance, versatility, and compact design.

Key Features

The Tamron 28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD boasts an impressive array of features that cater to both photographers and videographers. Here’s a closer look at what this lens offers:

Optical Construction

This lens features a sophisticated optical design with 20 elements in 13 groups, including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens element and an LD (Low Dispersion) lens element. These elements work together to control various aberrations, such as chromatic aberration, ensuring that your images are sharp and vibrant. Additionally, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating suppresses ghosting and flare, making it easier to capture clear images even in challenging backlit conditions.

Compact Design

One of the standout features of this lens is its compact design. Despite covering a broad 10.7x focal length range from a 28mm wide-angle to a 300mm telephoto, the lens maintains a length of only 126mm (5 inches) and weighs just 610g (21.5 ounces). This makes it an ideal choice for photographers who prefer to carry a smaller camera bag without sacrificing versatility.

Autofocus Mechanism

Equipped with Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) autofocus drive, this lens employs a premium linear motor focus mechanism. This ensures that the focus is attained quickly and accurately throughout the entire 10.7x zoom range. Whether you’re capturing fast-moving subjects or shooting in low-light conditions, the VXD AF drive helps you maintain sharp focus.

Vibration Compensation

The lens comes with Tamron’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism, which effectively suppresses camera shake. This is particularly useful when shooting at the telephoto end of the zoom range or in low-light conditions. With the VC mechanism, you can achieve sharp, clear images even without a tripod.

Lens Function Customization

Tamron has also introduced the TAMRON Lens Utility, which allows users to customize various functions of the lens according to their photographic and videography needs. This added flexibility means you can tailor the lens features to match your shooting style, enhancing both convenience and creativity.

Product Overview

The 28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD is designed for those who seek versatility in their photography gear. Whether you’re capturing wide landscapes, detailed wildlife shots, action-packed sports moments, or intimate portraits, this lens can handle it all. Its compact size and lightweight design also make it a great option for travel and general daily use.

The lens isn’t just for still photography; its features make it a strong contender for videographers as well. The 67mm filter size allows for easy attachment of various filters, and the Focus Set Button provides quick access to useful functions, enhancing its usability for video shoots.

Photography enthusiasts and professionals won’t have to wait long to get their hands on this versatile lens. The 28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD will be available starting August 29, 2024.
