By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 8, 2019

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

This might be the first footage shot on the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD, but it is hard to verify if the footage is legitimate without the lens being shown. We know this lens is coming soon so some photographer and videographers have to have the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD in hand right now. I can’t wait to add one to my camera bag.
