17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD overview

The Tamron 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD is a 17–28mm f/2.8 zoom for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, announced by Tamron in June 2019. 39 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It has been followed by the Tamron 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2; both are still sold.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors.

New, it sells for £699 in the United Kingdom (Cambrian Photography); used and refurbished copies start at £435.

Worth comparing it with the Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary, Sony FE 16-25mm F2.8 G and Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN | Art.
