The Tamron 70-180mm FE f2.8 Di III RXD lens will be released in the spring and with that
the trinity will be complete.
I am so stoked that the existing 17-28mm and the 28-75mm Tamron lenses will finally be
united with their long-awaited big brother.
The 70-200mm range is one of the bestselling zoom lenses for Sony full frame mirrorless cameras
and the 70-180 Tamron will be in high demand once it comes out.
So, with the 70-180mm FE lens coming out soon let’s review Tamron’s existing FE lenses
and why you should be excited about the new addition.
But before I get into it, remember to come visit us at the Digital Goja showroom in Miami.

So, let’s recap Tamron’s FE lenses that they offer so far.
First the primes.
Bam. The 35mm f2.8 lens and 24mm f2.8 lens, which we covered in a video a few weeks ago
and you can check it out in the description below.
And the other prime lens which is the upcoming 20mm f2.8 lens which comes out at the end
of January, but we happen to have gotten it early! We don't have it here right now,
but we did already do a review on it and
I'll leave the link for that one in the description below as well.
These three are all wide-angle prime lenses that have impressive close focusing distances of
only 5.9, 4.7 and 4.3 inches respectively and all three are compact and sharp, which if
you like shooting street photography as much as i do, they’re great for traveling light.
For the zoom lenses they currently offer a 17-28mm f2.8 and a 28-75mm f2.8.
Both are optimized for mirrorless cameras with many features that are specific to mirrorless
cameras such as fast hybrid autofocus, eye detect AF, direct manual focus, in camera
lens correction and camera based lens firmware updates.
These lenses also have a very close minimum object distance at the wide end being able to focus
on subjects as close as 7.5 inches, and they are also really sharp.
And the third musketeer that will complete the long end of the zoom lineup will be the
70-180mm f2.8 lens.
Just like the other two lenses, the 70-180 is going to be optimized for the Sony mirrorless cameras and
be compatible with all the autofocus features and in-body stabilization.
I can’t wait to get my hands on it and take it for a spin.
A really great thing they did with all these lenses, including the upcoming 70-180mm is
that they all share the same thread size of 67mm so you can use the same filters across
all of them and not have to worry about buying multiple ones for each lens.
Now, this is really exciting and I’m glad they did that.
Another thing that I like about all these lenses is that they all have weather sealing
throughout and a fluorine coating on the front element making them great for outdoor shoots
even in inclement weather.
And one of my favorite things about Tamron gear is that in the U.S. they’re covered
by a 6-year warranty and they promise a 3-day turnaround time max after receiving the lens at no cost.
It’s exciting having many options when it comes to Sony full frame mirrorless camera
camera lenses and Tamron’s additions should get Sony shooters excited.
Now if you're interested in any of these lenses, I've linked the ones available in the description box below.
