Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
While not US pricing the listing of the Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD for 999€ gives us an idea of what it might cost in USD. When converted to dollars the price becomes $1136.13 so the lens could be priced between $999-1,200. This lens should sell well at either price point, but $999 would be a nice change from Sony pricing.

The Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD is at CP+ and we are finally getting a good look at Tamron’s new must own lens. I really hope this lens is as reasonably priced as the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD so that I can justify the purchase. It would also be nice if this lens comes out before the end of this year’s Astrophotography season which just started.

Sony announced the development of a new CFexpress Tough Type B memory card (CEB-G128) with a read speed of up to 1700MB/s and write speeds of 1480MB/s:
Additional information:
Sony today announced the development of the CFexpress Type B memory card (CEB-G128), a new ultra-fast next generation memory card (2) that is ideal for professional and industrial use. With its super-fast speedof up to 1700MB/s (read) along with highly reliable toughness, this memory card supports the future evolution of digital devices.
Enhancing Sony’s high performance, value-added memory card line-up, the CFexpress Type B is designed based on a new specification which adopts the latest interface, PCIe® (3) Gen3, standardised by the CompactFlash Association.
The Sony CFexpress Type B memory card offers a 128GB capacity, with higher capacity models of 256 GB and 512 GB planned for the future.
Incomparably fast
The Sony CFexpress Type B memory card is around 3 times faster than Sony’s fastest CFast memory card (with 530MB/s read speed). With a write speed of up to 1480MB/s, this cardmeets future requirement needs for secure industry data-recording or requirements from professionals to capture hi-resolution images or high-bitrate video.
With an ultra-fast read speed of up to 1700MB/s, even large-sized data files can be transferred quickly, when compared to existing memory cards. For example, when making copies or backing up large-sized data from multiple memory cards, transfer time will be dramatically reduced. This greatly improves work efficiency.
The new CFexpress Card Reader, MRW-G1, is optimised for Sony CFexpress Type B memory card and takes full advantage of the card’s fast read speed. This reader is also compatible with Sony XQD card G series and M series.
TOUGH performance
The Sony CFexpress Type B memory card has superior strength, surpassing the CFexpress standard by a factor of three, being able to withstand 70N of force in bend, and five times greater withstanding falls from up to 5m high.
The card is also temperature proof, X-ray proof, anti-static and has a UV guard so it can perfectly support usage in tricky or tough environments.
Peace of mind
Media Scan Utility and Memory Card File Rescue are available as a free download to Sony CFexpress card users.
Media Scan Utility is PC software that automatically scans your Sony CFexpress memory card every time you connect it to a PC via your MRW-G1 card reader (4). The software keeps you informed of the condition of your card and lets you know if you’re nearing or have reached the flash memory limit.
Memory Card File Rescue eradicates every photographer’s worst nightmare – deleting photos accidentally and losing your precious work. The software recovers accidentally deleted files including RAW or high-resolution images and videos, so your work is safe from whatever obstacles are thrown your way.
The Sony CFexpress Type B memory card and the CFexpress MRW-G1 Card Reader will be on the market in early summer 2019.
