Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE: B&H Photo /  Amazon / Adorama

The Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE is a great lens for the price, along with the whole Tamron lineup for E-mount at this time, but it is being discontinued, according to Map Camera. The lens is currently on sale in the US, so now is the time to buy if you want to get one before they disappear. We do not have any clues about a Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di IV RXD FE coming at this time.

Sony Electronics Inc. has recently announced two new protective accessories designed for dependable performance in demanding field conditions: the LCRE Series Rain Cover, available in large and small sizes and in black or white, and the LCS Lens Soft Carrying Case Series for super-telephoto and telephoto lenses. Engineered for outdoor creators, the new accessories offer fast setup, robust environmental protection, and carry-ready portability for a wide range of Sony Alpha™ system users.

Complementing the rain cover, the LCS Lens Soft Carrying Case Series (LCS-LTL / LTM / LTS) is a lightweight, conical soft case designed specifically for Sony’s super-telephoto and telephoto lenses. Available in three sizes, the case features a wide double-zipper opening for easy lens removal, an internal anti-drop strap for added security, and multiple strap configurations for hand, shoulder, or crossbody carry. Its compact, protective construction helps shield lenses from dust, scratches, and impacts during transport.

  • The LCRE Rain Cover (Large and Small; Black and White) will be available in December 2025 for approximately $189.99 USD / CA$269.99.
  • The LCS Lens Soft Carrying Case Series will be available in December 2025 at approximately $249.99 USD / CA$349.99 (LTL), $239.99 USD / CA$339.99 (LTM), and $229.99 USD / CA$319.99 (LTS).
