Sony RX100VII Round-Up

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 27, 2019

Sony RX100VIII: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

It looks like Sony’s latest point and shoot the RX100VII has been well received. It’s kind of interesting that they are pitching it at a mini a9 with the Sony a9II coming soon hopefully. Sony has certainly made some surprising decisions in recent months, which makes me even more curious about what the a9II will bring. I think we will see soon enough. In the meantime here are some additional Sony RX100VIII videos that were released.

Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE Made in Vietnam and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE Made in China

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 26, 2019


I received the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE today from B&H Photo and was a bit surprised to find that the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE is made in Vietnam, while the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE is made in China. Further, the hood for the 17-28mm is made in the Philipines and the 28-75mm hood is made in China.

The two lenses feel very much like they were designed to feel identical, but I wish the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE zoomed internally like the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE. Both lenses compare well to G master glass and it looks like Tamron improved the 17-28mm ever so slightly from what they learned from 28-75mm feedback. Check retailers frequently, because there are a few lenses out there still if you’re interested in receiving one soon, but it looks like the big three are sold out at this point, so it will be a while before more 17-28mm ship.

Tamron 17-28mm Starts Shipping in The USA

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 24, 2019


B&H Photo charged my credit card and sent my order to the warehouse to ship so it looks like Tamron didn’t push back the launch of the Tamron 17-28mm to catch up with demand. If you want one of these lenses anytime soon then you should get on a preorder list.
