Tamron - 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD for Sony APS-C Mirrorless - B070

This is a fantastic lens after a year and a half it is still my go-to travel lens. Compared to another more expensive lens that has an f2.8 aperture this is light haha. The lens is versatile and can be used as a wide b-roll lens. If you want a good reasonably priced zoom lens to fit your aspc camera this is a good option.

About half the price of the equivalent Zeiss optics Sony lens, which I have not used. Reviews indicate not a huge amount between them. Anti shake works well, and both zoom and focus rings have a quality feel. A little heavy, but comes with the sturdiness. Used with my trusty a6500

I've been using the lens for over a month and I am really pleased with the sharpness and image quality (I've attached a few if it helps). The size is large for an APS-C Camera but still very manageable and for a constant f2.8 at this zoom range you can't really go wrong. The price is expensive but a very good value and the image stabilization is a huge benefit for any A6000/A6100/A6400 owners etc ( for those bodies I think this is the best outright standard zoom). Weather sealed too is a big plus. If its in your budget I'd go for it.Note - Make sure you check that distortion fix is enabled in the settings of your camera when this lens is attached, barrel distortion is is quite strong on this lens and the fix was disabled as default for me

The TAMRON 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD for Sony E-mount APS-C is a versatile zoom lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture, ideal for a range of photography from landscapes to portraits. Its built-in Vibration Compensation (VC) offers effective stabilization for low-light and handheld shooting. The lens delivers sharp image quality, especially in the center, with fast, quiet autofocus thanks to its RXD motor. The 17-70mm focal range (25.5-105mm equivalent) provides flexibility for both wide-angle and telephoto shots.However, it features a mostly plastic build, and some corner softness is noticeable at f/2.8. It lacks true macro capability and may exhibit focus breathing, which could be a drawback for videographers. While compact and lightweight for the focal length and apature of you want a travel lens it may be a bit bulky making your apsc camera front heavy, the included lens hood is a minor downside as I have to always check it’s attached as it easily comes off when taking camera in and out of bag or sometimes when changing focal length. Overall, this lens is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable, all-in-one option for APS-C cameras.

Unbelievable quality Sharp great auto focus best lens for an APS-C Camera

I love itWas scared but got what l paid forThank you

Just returned from Scotland,10 day backpacking wildcamping along the west highland way. The quality of shots is amazing. very recommended.Pros: lightweight being about 500g, and relatively compact for the zoom. Very Good picture and video quality. check on youtube my video from the trip Ed Rudans West Highland Way. Very good build quality, as I dropped the camera at the end of my trip but everything still works just fine.Cons: Vibration Reduction on the lense is not very prominent on videos, still have to use tripod and strap technique for good result. I had windy day and still can see vibrations while camera being on the tripod.

Excellent lens with good range, well worth your money
