Great Lengthy Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD FE Review: High Performance and A Good Value

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 7, 2018

Krolop-gerst released their Engish review, which is full of useful analysis. I’m glad to hear that they feel the lens offs good value per its price point and performance. I watched the previous German review but decided to wait for the English release to post it because auto-subs aren’t the best. I think I have pretty much made up my mind that I will be swapping my f/4 24-70mm Zeiss for this lens at B&H Photo.
