The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD G2 is something of a modern classic, reinvented. The original edition was excellent in every way, shoehorning a useful 'standard' zoom range and fast, constant f/2.8 aperture rating into a compact yet high-quality construction. Tamron's 'Generation 2' lens adds new thrills and frills, making it an even more desirable option for Sony full-frame E-mount cameras, although it still lacks optical stabilization.
