Tamron - 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD for Sony APS-C Mirrorless - B070

About half the price of the equivalent Zeiss optics Sony lens, which I have not used. Reviews indicate not a huge amount between them. Anti shake works well, and both zoom and focus rings have a quality feel. A little heavy, but comes with the sturdiness. Used with my trusty a6500

This is a fantastic lens after a year and a half it is still my go-to travel lens. Compared to another more expensive lens that has an f2.8 aperture this is light haha. The lens is versatile and can be used as a wide b-roll lens. If you want a good reasonably priced zoom lens to fit your aspc camera this is a good option.

Really nice lens! Fast delivery! Thanks you

The TAMRON 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD for Sony E-mount APS-C is a versatile zoom lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture, ideal for a range of photography from landscapes to portraits. Its built-in Vibration Compensation (VC) offers effective stabilization for low-light and handheld shooting. The lens delivers sharp image quality, especially in the center, with fast, quiet autofocus thanks to its RXD motor. The 17-70mm focal range (25.5-105mm equivalent) provides flexibility for both wide-angle and telephoto shots. However, it features a mostly plastic build, and some corner softness is noticeable at f/2.8. It lacks true macro capability and may exhibit focus breathing, which could be a drawback for videographers. While compact and lightweight for the focal length and apature of you want a travel lens it may be a bit bulky making your apsc camera front heavy, the included lens hood is a minor downside as I have to always check it’s attached as it easily comes off when taking camera in and out of bag or sometimes when changing focal length. Overall, this lens is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable, all-in-one option for APS-C cameras.

I've been using the lens for over a month and I am really pleased with the sharpness and image quality (I've attached a few if it helps). The size is large for an APS-C Camera but still very manageable and for a constant f2.8 at this zoom range you can't really go wrong. The price is expensive but a very good value and the image stabilization is a huge benefit for any A6000/A6100/A6400 owners etc ( for those bodies I think this is the best outright standard zoom). Weather sealed too is a big plus. If its in your budget I'd go for it. Note - Make sure you check that distortion fix is enabled in the settings of your camera when this lens is attached, barrel distortion is is quite strong on this lens and the fix was disabled as default for me

Just returned from Scotland,10 day backpacking wildcamping along the west highland way. The quality of shots is amazing. very recommended. Pros: lightweight being about 500g, and relatively compact for the zoom. Very Good picture and video quality. check on youtube my video from the trip Ed Rudans West Highland Way. Very good build quality, as I dropped the camera at the end of my trip but everything still works just fine. Cons: Vibration Reduction on the lense is not very prominent on videos, still have to use tripod and strap technique for good result. I had windy day and still can see vibrations while camera being on the tripod.

Unbelievable quality Sharp great auto focus best lens for an APS-C Camera

Much better and more sharper Lens than the Lens of Fuji 16-55 for my Fuji X T-50…

Produto ótimo, chegou super rápido!!

I've got Tamron 70-300mm F4-5.6, and im not satisfied with the image it taken, so I switch to sigma 16mm 1.4, I love the sharpness of it, and afraid to buy Tamron lens again, but I'm glad I did, for my eye its sharp as my Sigma, and it 17-70mm with constant 2.8, for me minimum 2.8 is enough, i love F1.4 but its so shallow that might slip your focus, over all Tamron 17-70mm 2.8 are the one always attached to my Camera for it versatility of Zoom, and its Aperture

Ich habe mir das Tamron 17–70mm f/2.8 für meine Sony Alpha 6700 gekauft und bin wirklich sehr zufrieden. Das Objektiv war schon am nächsten Tag da, was mich total gefreut hat – so konnte ich gleich loslegen. Was mir besonders gut gefällt: Es ist für seine Leistung schön leicht und handlich. Bei einer durchgehenden Lichtstärke von f/2.8 in dem Brennweitenbereich ist das wirklich bemerkenswert – vor allem, wenn man die Preise der Sony-Objektive danebenlegt. Für mich ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis top. Durch den APS-C Crop-Faktor hat man effektiv etwa 25,5–105mm Brennweite, also einen großen Spielraum für die meisten Alltagssituationen. Ich habe das Objektiv fast immer drauf – ich muss viel seltener wechseln, und das macht das Fotografieren einfach entspannter. Was ich richtig gut finde: Die Nah-Einstellgrenze ist super, man kann sehr dicht ran und bekommt fast schon Makro-mäßige Ergebnisse, mit schöner Freistellung bei Offenblende. Gerade für Portraits ist das auch klasse – mit den längeren Brennweiten und f/2.8 bekommt man ein schönes Bokeh und knackige Schärfe. Ich habe zum Testen ein Foto von unserem Hund gemacht – das Bild ist super scharf geworden, und ich bin echt begeistert von der Bildqualität. Ich habe es als Beispielbild hochgeladen, falls jemand mal sehen möchte, was da rauskommt. Getestet mit der Sony Alpha 6700 – für mich eine perfekte Kombination. Ich bin rundum zufrieden, weil dieses Objektiv mir mehrere andere ersetzt, und trotzdem bleibt die Qualität absolut überzeugend.

Sinds ik deze lens op mijn Sony A6000 heb gebruik ik zelden een andere. geweldige resultaten allemaal met één lens. Enkel als ik een compacte lens nodig heb, of minder gewicht belangrijk is ga ik nog richting een Sigma 30mm Prime.

Versatilità e qualità ottica in un solo obiettivo Utilizzo il Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 da qualche settimana e posso dire che rappresenta una delle migliori opzioni “tuttofare” per chi utilizza una mirrorless APS-C. L’escursione focale è perfetta per la maggior parte delle situazioni: dal paesaggio (17mm) ai ritratti (70mm), passando per fotografia di strada, viaggi o eventi. ⸻ Pro: • Apertura costante f/2.8: un grande vantaggio per la fotografia in condizioni di scarsa luce e per ottenere un buon effetto bokeh, soprattutto a 70mm. • Stabilizzazione VC integrata: molto utile nelle riprese video e negli scatti a mano libera. • Nitidezza: ottima a tutte le focali, anche a tutta apertura. • Autofocus RXD: veloce, silenzioso e preciso, anche durante la registrazione video. • Costruzione solida ma leggera: l’obiettivo è robusto ma non eccessivamente pesante. • Minima distanza di messa a fuoco: sorprendentemente buona (circa 19 cm a 17 mm), utile per macro occasionali. ⸻ Contro: • Non tropicalizzato completamente, anche se è resistente all’umidità. • Leggerissima distorsione a 17mm, correggibile via software o direttamente in macchina. • Prezzo non bassissimo, ma giustificato dalle prestazioni e dalla versatilità. Per chi è consigliato Perfetto per chi cerca un obiettivo tuttofare luminoso e di qualità per viaggi, video, reportage o fotografia urbana. È un eccellente compromesso tra qualità professionale e portabilità.
