Designed to be a compact and lightweight zoom lens with an expansive range and aperture, the Tamron 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 is wider and more versatile than its predecessor. It’s also a nice update with the newest imaging technology tailored to work together with your favorite Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras for fast, smooth operation.
