Most lenses with a very large zoom range sacrifice either image quality or portability, but a lot of strides have been made in the last few years. If you are looking for a single lens that can handle almost any situation you throw at it, check out this great review of the Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD for Sony E mount.
Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this great review takes a look at the Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD for Sony E mount. Tamron's lenses for the Sony E mount have been a runaway success by offering a fantastic balance between image quality, size, and price. The 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD is one of the newest in the lineup, and it offers a very useful focal length range that can tackle just about any scenario paired with decent maximum apertures, an impressive minimum focus distance of 7.5" (for a maximum magnification of 0.32x), RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) autofocus motor with full-time override, a moisture-resistant design that pairs nicely with its intended use, and a rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh. And the best part is that it is quite affordable at just $729. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts.
