The 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens is the workhorse of choice for a wide range of photographers and videographers, offering a lot of versatility for different situations. Tamron's 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD lens offers that versatility at a very affordable price and portable footprint. How does it hold up in practice? This great video review takes a look at what you can expect.
Coming to you from Wes Perry, this awesome video review takes a look at the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD lens. Personally, the 28-75mm f/2.8 is one of my favorite lenses. The 28-75mm f/2.8 features one XLD (extra-low dispersion and one LD (low dispersion) element for reduced aberrations, two hybrid aspherical elements and one molded glass aspherical element for reduced distortion and increased sharpness, BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating for reduced flares and ghosting and increased contrast, a minimum focusing distance of just 7.5 inches (making for a very workable 1:2.9 maximum magnification), full-time manual override, moisture-resistant design, and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh. Altogether, it is a great lens with a very light and portable design, all combined with a very affordable price. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Perry.
I am new to Tamron lenses having just gotten the 24-70 2.8 G2 for my Canon but I already love having it. I shoot wedding photography and used this lens during an elopement recently and love how sharp it is. It's a bit weird, at least on the version I have, how the zoom turns in the opposite direction of Canon lenses so that is taking some getting used to. Otherwise, it's nice at 2.8 and locks at 24mm on the barrel so you could use it on a gimbal or tripod and not have to worry about your lens self-zooming.
you should try the latest 35mm f1.4. Simply, unbeatable at the price, but even so, most other models of the same lens have trouble keeping up with it at any price.
