Tamron 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 RXD (A047) Review
Tamron has been on a tear in the last few years on the Sony FE (full frame E-mount) platform, releasing one high-performing, reasonably priced zoom after another. This started with the very well received 28-75mm F2.8, followed by the 17-28mm F2.8, then 70-180mm F2.8, the travel-ready 28-200mm F2.8-5.6, and now a longer tel [Read more...]

Traveling with the Tamron 28-200mm RXD
When I reviewed the Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD in June of 2020, I theorized that it might just be the best travel option available on Sony. I put that to the test recently and traveled to Mont Tremblant, Quebec (one of my favorite spots), and used the A071 (28-200mm) almost exclusively on that trip. I […] [Read more...]

Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD (A071) Review
Tamron continues to flesh out their lineup for Sony FE (full frame mirrorless) with another intriguing new entry. Even those who buy expensive, full frame cameras sometimes want a single lens solution for outings or travel where bringing a big kit along isn’t really an option. The Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD helps t [Read more...]

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.

Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 VXD (A056) Review
The Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 VXD is one of the most highly anticipated lenses of 2020…and that became clear from the moment that it was announced. Tamron has taken a different approach to its fast zooms on Sony. Sony’s own zooms are feature rich and high performing, but they are also at the top end of [&helli [Read more...]

The Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 VXD is one of the most highly anticipated lenses of 2020. It is a fast, reasonably compact F2.8 telephoto zoom for Sony full frame mirrorless, and provides an alternative to either of the Sony 70-200mm zooms. The 70-200mm F2.8 GM costs more than twice as much ($1199 vs $2598) and weighs [&hel [Read more...]
