Tamron's 28-75mm f/2.8 lens for Sony E mount has been a huge hit for the company. They eventually filled out the lineup with the 17-28mm f/2.8 and the 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lenses, creating a fantastic alternative for photographers looking for a cheaper f/2.8 zoom trio. This excellent review takes a look at the 70-180mm f/2.8 and if it can stand up to the heavy demands often placed on such lenses.
Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this great video takes a look at the new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lens. The 70-200mm f/2.8 is a staple lens in the bags of many photographers across tons of genres, and as such, such optics typically have high expectations placed on them. So far, the 28-75mm f/2.8 and 17-28mm f/2.8 have received great reviews, making them excellent alternatives to the much higher prices of first-party equivalents. Though it sacrifices 20mm of reach at the long end, at $1,199, Tamron's version undercuts the price of Sony's 70-200mm f/2.8 by more than half, and it looks like it has very good image quality and performance to match. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts.
If we ever all regain our footing, this lens is gonna be mega-hot.
