28-75mm F2.8 Di III VXD G2 - Sony E

The 28-75 mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is the successor of the 28-75 mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036), a popular zoom lens that has earned high evaluation worldwide. It reflects the fruits of continuous evolution and customer-focused refinement. Retaining the well-received compact size of its predecessor, the new 28-75 mm F/2.8 G2 incorporates a new optical construction based on a design that has been revamped to enhance imaging performance. Its features are also fully compatible with the latest model digital cameras that offer increased resolution. 
The optics have been revamped from the ground up, employing the latest design expertise to develop an optical construction with 17 elements in 15 groups. With two optimally arranged LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Moulded Aspherical) lens elements, optical aberrations are controlled to the maximum degree possible. Image quality at wide-open aperture has been significantly improved over the predecessor Model A036, offering extremely high resolution throughout the entire zoom range and from edge-to-edge of the frame. The lens also delivers the soft and beautiful bokeh effects distinctive to fast-aperture lenses. The new 28-75 mm F2.8 G2 achieves extremely high performance when paired with high-grade, ultra-high resolution digital cameras and is the same compact size as its predecessor Model A036.
Finally, Tamron's VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focusing mechanism is used for AF control to deliver higher autofocus speed with even greater precision. With a minimum focusing distance of just 18 cm in wide-angle mode and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7, this lens offers advanced performance in close-up shooting.
