Tamron continues to flesh out their lineup for Sony FE (full frame mirrorless) with another intriguing new entry. The Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD helps to fill the role of a competent all-in-one/travel lens for full frame mirrorless, though with a much better optical performance on most measures than what I typically see. The Sony 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS is the primary competitor, but the Tamron easily provides better image quality and a faster maximum aperture at a cheaper price ($750 USD), though at the cost of a reduced zoom range and without a built in stabilizer. Tamron has elected once again to rely on the in body image stabilization on the Sony camera bodies, though this is the less effective approach from a stabilization perspective. This is easily the sharpest superzoom lens that I’ve personally used, however, though there are a few compromises (there always are!) that I will explore. Stay tuned to find out all the details. I’ll be reviewing the Tamron 28-200mm RXD (A071) on my Sony a7RIII and Sony a9 bodies, and you can see photos from both cameras below. Stay tuned for my ongoing coverage.
