Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (B070) Lens for Sony E - Brand New review

As a lens, the new Tamron is splendid. In common with many mirrorless lenses some of the parameters, such as distortion and CA, are controlled in conjunction with the camera to get the best results, but the lens on its own is still an excellent overall performer.
Pros:
  • Excellent central sharpness, Excellent edge sharpness, Nice bokeh, Excellent CA control centrally, Fast, accurate and silent AF, Moisture resistance, Effective Vibration Compensation, 5 Year Guarantee
Cons:
  • Lens enormous compared to camera body, Edge CA obvious (correctable), Visible distortion (correctable)

Tamron 17-70 F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD field review

The Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD continues the company's tradition of combining optical versatility with great value. A wide zoom range makes this lens great for travel, and it's bright enough to blur backgrounds and snap sharp nighttime photos, thanks also to its vibration compensation. Sharpness and autofocus are excellent, while bokeh, distortion, flare and color fringing could be improved.
Pros:
  • Those seeking a great walk-around, travel, or general purpose lens. Videographers.
Cons:
  • Pros and advanced amateurs aiming for the absolute best image quality

Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (B070) Lens for Sony E - Brand New review

If you own a Sony mirrorless camera, either APS-C sensor, Full Frame sensor or both types, you will not be disappointed. The 25-105 equivalent zoom range and fast f/2.8 aperture make it an ideal lens for everyday Standard Zoom use as well as street photography, portraiture and travel.

Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD Review

Tamron's 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens upgrades your Sony APS-C mirrorless to net shots with blurred backgrounds and outstandingly sharp results. The Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD ($799.99) is an exciting lens for photographers using Sony's APS-C camera system. It delivers the premium optics you expect from an F2.8 zoom, along with speedy focus and an all-weather build, for fewer dollars than Sony's high-end E 16-55mm F2.8 G ($1,399.99). The 17-70mm skips on-lens controls, but does include optical stabilization. It's a stunning performer all around and a good enough value to earn our Editors' Choice award, even if it's a bit large to pair with Sony's smaller cameras.Made for APS-C Sony's full-frame a7 camera series garners a lot of attention and is quite popular among pro photographers, but the company offers lower cost APS-C sensor models, too. Cameras like the a6100 and a6400 are lighter and more affordable than full-frame options, but still benefit from quality lenses. If you're using a basic starter lens like the E 16-50mm or the discontinued E 18-55mm, an F2.8 zoom like the 17-70mm or Sony E 16-55mm is a serious...
Pros:
  • Outstanding resolution
  • F2.8 optics
  • Dust, splash, and fluorine protection
  • Quick, quiet autofocus
  • Minimal focus breathing
  • Focuses close
Cons:
  • A little bulky
  • Shows some flare
  • So-so manual focus experience
  • Exclusively for Sony cameras

Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (B070) Lens for Sony E - Brand New review

The constructors of the Tamron 17–70 mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD faced a really difficult task. Every time a producer tries to offer something unique, a product no other manufacturer features, the bar is set very high, higher than usual.
Pros:
  • very good image quality in the frame centre across the whole focal range,, sensible image quality on the edge of the frame,, lack of any serious problems with longitudinal chromatic aberration,, slight lateral chromatic aberration in the 30-70 mm focal range,, good coma correction,, moderate...
Cons:
  • high vignetting, felt especially keenly on both ends of the focal range,, noticeable problems with spherical aberration,, performance against bright light should have been better.

Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens for Fujifilm X-mount

We found the 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens to be a comfortable match for the Fujifilm X-T3 camera we used for our tests, which means it should work equally well with later versions of the camera, including the new X-T5.

Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD - Review / Test Report

Most of us start photography with an affordable camera kit. This will be sufficient for a while, but eventually, you want to up your game and move towards faster lenses. You can, of course, add some prime lenses, but most will probably upgrade their standard zoom lens first.
