Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD Overview

Offering the unique mixture of an all-in-one zoom range and a fast design, the 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD from Tamron is a wide-to-super-tele zoom distinguished by its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture at the wide end of the zoom, along with its sleek and portable design. A series of specialized elements are used to maintain high sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range. Benefitting the optical design is an RXD stepping motor, which enables quick, near-silent autofocus performance to suit stills and video, along with full-time manual focus override and a minimum focusing distance of 7.5". Suiting this lens's use in harsh climates, it also sports a moisture-resistant construction along with a fluorine-coated front element to protect against fingerprints and smudging.

All-in-one zoom is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 42-300mm equivalent focal length range.
Bright f/2.8-5.6 maximum aperture range suits working in available lighting conditions, especially when working at the wide-angle end of the expansive zoom range.
A series of specialized elements control a variety of aberrations in order to achieve high sharpness and clarity.
RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) autofocus motor delivers impressively quiet, quick, and smooth focusing performance to suit both stills and video applications. This focusing system also offers a minimum focusing distance of just 7.5" and a 1:3.1 maximum magnification for working with close-up subjects. Full-time manual focus override is also possible, and it is compatible with Sony's Direct Manual Focus function or fine-tuned manual control.
A moisture-resistant construction benefits this lens' use in inclement conditions, and a fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens element to protect against dust, dirt, and smearing.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
Zoom Lock switch keeps the lens in its retracted position when not in use.

Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD Reviews

Very Good Outdoor Travel Option

By John
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-06-24

I use this lens primarily for daytime outdoor travel photography. It's a great buy for the money and I'm very happy with the weight and overall sharpness. It's a typical Tamron build using a lot of plastic but it doesn't feel cheap. I'm happy with the results I get from this lens and I'd buy it again if I had to.

Great Everything Lens

I have used this lens for portrait photos, moon pictures, and sports photos, and for the price and the range, nothing can compete. It does everything you ask of it as long as you mess with your settings on your camera. I have used it indoors and outdoors. It definitely does better outside and in daylight or sunset, over nighttime or indoor sports.
