Tamron 28-75mm Di III VXD G2

This lens is designed specifically for Sony E-mount cameras. It is compatible with both full-frame and APS-C sensor bodies, though keep in mind that on an APS-C camera, the effective focal length will be longer due to the crop factor.

The minimum focusing distance is 180mm at the widest 28mm setting. This allows for impressive close-up shots, giving you a macro-like perspective that is great for capturing textures and small details.

Yes, it is well-suited for video. The VXD linear motor focus mechanism is designed to be both fast and quiet, which minimizes focus noise in your recordings and provides smooth, reliable tracking.

Yes, the lens features a moisture-resistant construction and a protective coating on the front element. While it is built to handle challenging environments, it is still wise to avoid direct exposure to heavy downpours or extreme dust.

No, this lens maintains a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire 28-75mm zoom range. This consistency makes it much easier to maintain your exposure settings and depth-of-field control when you zoom in or out.

At 550 grams, this lens is relatively lightweight and compact, making it easy to handle handheld for long periods. You generally won't need a tripod for balance, though one is always recommended for long-exposure or studio work.
