The all new Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens!
Well my friends at Tamron have done it again! Today marks the official release of their newest lens, the 17-70mm f2.8, for APS-C cropped sensor Sony mount cameras. I was able to take it to the Tetons with me and put it to the test. It is the same size as their full frame lens, the 28-75mm, and the weight is about the same as well. I found the lens to be very sharp, extremely fast focusing, and the perfect length for the majority of my landscape, and portrait work that I did there. A unique feature of the lens for those who do video is if you are using it on either the a6500 or a6600, the Vibration Compensation uses Ai features to combine the VC with the camera’s in body stabilization to record smooth video. When used with one of the other a6xxx series bodies, the lens Vibration Compensation feature offers image stabilization. Like all of the other Tamron lenses released for the Sony line, it uses a 67mm filter. I found that in combination with the Tamron 70-300mm Di RXD lens it was an incredible travel kit. The a6600, the 17-70mm and the 70-300mm together weigh less than 4 pounds and would cover the equivalent of 25.5mm to 450mm. Another great addition to their line of mirrorless lenses. Way to go Tamron! I will be releasing my unboxing video in the next day or so.
