Lightweight wide-angle zoom

The Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD is a large-aperture ultra-wide zoom built for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Its constant f/2.8 aperture runs across the entire 17-28mm range. The RXD stepping motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus suited to both stills and video work. Moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine coating on the front element add durability for everyday shooting.

Constant f/2.8 across the range

The lens maintains a bright f/2.8 aperture from 17mm to 28mm, giving consistent exposure and depth-of-field control throughout the zoom. A minimum focus distance of 7.5 in at the wide end lets you work close to foreground subjects for exaggerated perspective. The 67mm filter thread accepts standard screw-in filters, which is unusually compact for this class of lens. Extreme corners stay sharp thanks to high MTF performance optimised with in-body corrections.

Compact balance for mirrorless bodies

At 14.8 oz and 3.9 in long, the lens balances naturally on slim mirrorless bodies and fits easily in a small bag. The 67mm filter size shares threads with the 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD, so one filter set covers both zooms. Internal zoom keeps the length constant during operation, preventing balance shifts on a gimbal. Buyers needing a longer telephoto reach or a wider maximum aperture than f/2.8 will need to look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will this 17-28mm f/2.8 lens mount directly on my older Sony A7 II without an adapter?

Yes, it uses the native Sony E-mount so it attaches directly to any full-frame or APS-C E-mount body including the A7 II.

How can I confirm the RXD stepping motor is focusing smoothly after I attach the lens?

Half-press the shutter; the focus should move silently with no hunting, and the focus-distance scale on the barrel will update in real time.

Does the box include a 67 mm filter or a lens hood, or do I need to buy them separately?

A petal-type hood and front/rear caps are supplied; 67 mm filters are not included and must be purchased separately.
