The world has become very wide! Previously, a 17-50mm like this was only possible with APC-C sensor size cameras, but this Tamron 17-50mm F4 works with full-frame cameras! So there is a very interesting focal length range from ultra-wide to normal lenses, which has not been seen before in full-frame lenses.
The aperture has been left at F4 to prevent the size, price and image quality from getting out of hand. For those who need aperture, Tamron also has the popular 20-40mm F2.8 lenses.
But this is a very successful lens for trips, for example, as a single lens. You can take impressive landscape photos and even portraits with the same relatively light and compact device. The included weather protection and sturdy mechanical structure, meaning the size of the lens does not change during zooming, are also suitable for travel use.
This is also great for video shooting, the autofocus uses Tamron's modern VDX focus motor, so tracking and the focus features of Sony's new cameras work.
The Tamron 17-50mm F4 DI III VXD is weather-sealed and the outer lens element is coated with a dirt-repellent coating.
