Is the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III G2 RXD One of the Best Bargains Out There?

Tamron has reinvented itself in recent years, making smart compromises to create lenses that are highly practical but that do not break the bank. The 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III was a runaway hit for the company, offering impressive image quality and performance at a price that significantly undercut comparable options. The second generation of the lens is here, and this excellent video review takes a look at the performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this great video review takes a look at the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III G2 RXD lens. The original version of this lens was one of the most popular to come to the market in some time, and I was especially impressed by it. The 4mm you lose at the long end might bother you depending on what you shoot, but the lens' price-to-performance ratio can't be beat, and if you want that extra capability at the wide end, it is worth noting that you can get both its companion lens, the 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD, and the 28-75mm f/2.8 for a combined price that is about the same as a first-party 24-70mm f/2.8. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts on the lens.

Abbott is probably my favorite equipment reviewer.
