Tamron 28-300m F/4-7.1 Di III Overview

By B&H Photo's
Power & Portability
A travel-friendly zoom with a sweeping focal range, the 28-300mm f/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD Lens from Tamron gives users the ability to capture wide-angle scenes as easily as intimate close-ups. Designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless camera systems, this lens has a complementary lightweight design, weighing just 1.3 lb.

High Speed AF with VC (Vibration Compensation)
Driven by Tamron's VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, high-speed autofocus performance and precision are enabled. Users can expect smooth focus tracking that accommodate sudden movements made by your subject. This linear motor also suppresses noise while focusing, making it ideal for video and shooting situations where discreetness is desired.
Impressive Optical Design
The lens construction of the 28-300mm f/4-7.1 incorporates 20 elements in 13 groups, including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), one LD (Low Dispersion), and three GM (Glass-Molded Aspherical) lenses, effectively controlling chromatic aberrations. The lens's nine-bladed diaphragm contributes to smooth and flattering bokeh.
Additional Lens Benefits
  • Minimum focusing distance of 7.5" at the wide end and 39" at the telephoto end.
  • Tamron Lens Utility software compatibility allows for changing lens settings, assigning camera body functions, and updating firmware.
  • Zoom lock switch and focus set button provide added convenience for making quick adjustments while capturing.
