28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD overview
The Tamron 28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD is a 28–300mm f/4–7.1 zoom for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, announced by Tamron in July 2024. 39 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits wildlife and sport as well as travel. It is a weaker pick for low light without a tripod.
New, it sells for A$1,199 to A$1,499 at the 4 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$1,199 to A$1,279 new.
Worth comparing it with the Sony FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS, Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD and Sigma 20-200mm F3.5-6.3 DG | Contemporary.
