Fotomagazini published a brief review of the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE that is coming this summer and they came away impressed. Here is what they thought:
- Sharp
- Fast AF Stepper Motor
- Tight zoom ring
- Small plastic hood
- Surprisingly small
- Lightweight
- Produced in Vietnam
- Filter Diameter of 67mm
- Front stays fixed when zooming
- Wavy distortion at 17mm and pincushion distortion at 28mm that are easy to fix
The surprisingly small and lightweight lens produced in Vietnam and despite the high light intensity – for a zoom with this focal length range – has a filter diameter of 67 mm.
They didn’t have the price but we found it a while ago and expect it to be $999 everywhere.
