Unprecedented Blend of Optical Performance and Versatility

All of Tamron’s technical know-how regarding all-in-one zoom lenses has been distilled to create this 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD (Model A071). The lens has a large maximum aperture of F2.8 at 28mm, a world’s first* for all-in-one zoom lenses, and delivers high-level performance from 28mm wide-angle to 200mm telephoto. Although covering a wide range of focal lengths, the lens is lightweight and compact. Tamron has taken an uncompromising approach to optical performance, making liberal use of special lens elements—including LD (Low Dispersion) and XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens elements—to greatly suppress chromatic aberrations, making it possible to achieve high image quality from edge to edge. This innovative all-in-one zoom lens vividly captures virtually all possible scenes, from landscape photography to portrait photos and snapshots.

Versatile Lens That Does It All

The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 covers an expansive range of focal lengths from 28mm to 200mm. This empowers diverse photographic expression, from wide-angle shooting of sweeping landscapes to close-up and compressive compositions at telephoto. The compact design measures 117mm (4.6 in) and a weighs 575g (20.3 oz) so it’s easy to carry anytime, anywhere.

Close-Up Performance That’s Astonishing for an All-In-One Zoom Lens

Capture stunning close-up images and leverage the bokeh utilizing a large F-number and enjoy unique close-ups that were not possible with all-in-one zoom lenses until now.
