Tamron 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD

there's a sure-fire way of telling which direction the camera market is taking, it's by examining the new lenses being released by third-party makers. Like its main rivals, Tamron has now refocused its attention almost entirely in the direction of full-frame mirrorless, with five of its seven new lenses in 2019 being for Sony's E-mount cameras. Now it's added another, in the form of a broad-range superzoom – an area in which the firm has considerable expertise. But even a quick parse of the lens's name reveals that the 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD is above the norm, being the first of its type to boast such a large maximum aperture, rather than the more usual f/3.5 or f/4. It also offers impressively close focusing, ranging from 19cm at wideangle to 80cm at telephoto.
