Our editorial take on the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD Full-Frame Lens for Sony E-Mount, Black
The Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD is a compact ultra-wide zoom designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. At $492, it slots in as an affordable alternative to Sony's native GM wide-angle zooms, offering a constant f/2.8 aperture across its range. The lens uses Tamron's RXD stepping motor for autofocus and ships with a lens hood and front cap.
This focal range is well-suited to landscape, architecture, interior, and astrophotography work where you need both width and speed. The 67mm filter thread keeps accessories affordable and the overall size is notably smaller than most f/2.8 ultra-wides, making it a practical choice for travel. Tamron has positioned this as a value option in the Sony E-mount ecosystem, targeting shooters who want professional aperture performance without the weight or cost of flagship glass.
- Constant f/2.8 aperture across the zoom range

- Affordable entry point for Sony E-mount wide-angle zooms
- 67mm filter thread keeps accessory costs down
- Limited zoom range compared to 16-35mm competitors
