Overview

The Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD Lens (Sony E) is a versatile standard zoom designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Covering an equivalent focal length range of 25.5-105mm, it is equally suited to landscapes, street photography, travel, portraits, and everyday shooting. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture maintains consistent brightness throughout the zoom range while offering enhanced low-light performance and greater creative control over depth of field.

Complementing its flexible zoom range is an advanced optical design featuring three aspherical elements and two low dispersion elements to reduce aberrations and maintain high levels of sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy. BBAR and fluorine coatings help suppress flare, ghosting, and surface contamination, while VC image stabilization and the RXD autofocus motor provide smooth, dependable performance for both photographers and content creators working in a variety of environments.
