There are numerous genres out there in which a 24-70mm f/2.8 is the bread and butter lens, offering a focal length range that allows for wide angle coverage on to portraits and more, paired with a wide maximum aperture. However, such lenses are rarely affordable, though Tamron's 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD G2 bucks that trends and offers a lot of performance for not a lot of money. This great video review takes a look at the sort of image quality and performance you can expect from it.
Coming to you from DPReview TV, this awesome video review takes a look at the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III G2 RXD lens. The first generation of this lens was wildly popular, offering a lot of smart compromises to create a lens that was impressively affordable but still offered the sort of versatility, performance, and image quality that professionals generally demand from such an option. The one compromise that might bother some is the loss of 4mm on the wide end of the lens, but it never bothered me much when I reviewed it, and given its price, you can easily grab the 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD to round things out while still only spending about as much as you would on a traditional first-party 24-70mm f/2.8. Check out the video above for the full rundown on the lens.
