Capture the World with Clarity and Precision

The Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD lens for Sony E-mount cameras empowers creators to capture the grandeur of the world with stunning clarity. Its flexible wide-angle zoom range, from ultra-wide 17mm to a versatile 28mm, makes it an ideal choice for diverse photographic genres including sweeping landscapes, intricate architectural details, and the captivating expanse of the night sky. The bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture is a significant advantage, offering superior performance in challenging low-light conditions and enabling precise control over depth of field for compelling visual narratives.

Optically, this lens is engineered for excellence. It integrates both XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) elements to meticulously correct chromatic aberrations and color fringing. The result is a highly corrected image that boasts impressive clarity, accurate color reproduction, and rich contrast throughout the zoom range. Complementing this, Tamron's proprietary BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating is applied to individual elements, effectively suppressing flare and ghosting. This is particularly beneficial when shooting directly into light sources or in harsh lighting, ensuring your images maintain optimal contrast and color fidelity.

Adding to its versatility, the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD features an RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor. This advanced autofocus system delivers quick, precise, and remarkably quiet performance, making it equally adept for capturing stills and recording video without unwanted operational noise. It also offers full-time manual focus override for fine-tuning your focus when needed, alongside an impressive minimum focusing distance of just 7.5 inches for engaging close-up perspectives. Built to endure, the lens incorporates a moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine-coated front element, providing protection against the elements, fingerprints, and smudges, ensuring reliable performance in various shooting conditions.
