From the manufacturer

A lens as luminous as your creative vision
The 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD is a large aperture ultra wide-angle zoom lens for Sony E-mount that was designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras and provides unrivalled portability and superb image quality. The dramatic 17-28mm zoom range adds new dimensions to photographing landscapes, cityscapes, mountains and scenic vistas—as well as groups and building interiors. Strategically deployed LD (Low Dispersion) and XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens elements thoroughly suppress chromatic aberration. The combination of ultra wide-angle focal length and an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.19m (7.5 in) at the wide-angle end encourages richly expressive and creative photography. The new 17-28mm zoom’s AF drive system is powered by the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit that enables it to deliver high-speed, high-precision operation. In addition, the new lens features Moisture-Resistant Construction and a hydrophobic Fluorine Coating that repels fingerprints and dirt.

Compact size you can take anywhere—and everywhere
Tamron makes large aperture ultra wide-angle photography more exciting, and for this lens we focused on usability. The 17-28mm zoom range was carefully selected; that paved the way for a surprisingly small size—just 99mm (3.9 in) long, weighing but 420g (14.8 oz). The overall length of the lens does not change during zooming, thereby offering consistent handling and stable shooting operations. In addition, the Φ67mm filter size is small for a large aperture ultra wide-angle zoom lens. Plus, it shares the same filter diameter as the high-speed standard zoom lens in the series, the 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036). This means the same filters such as PL (Polarizer), lens caps and other accessories may be used for both models.
Beautifully capture every scene and vista

The 17-28mm zoom provides magnificent image quality without compromise despite its compactness. Two LD lens elements and one XLD element (which has properties close to fluorite) are precisely located to quash chromatic and other aberrations. In addition, the BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating applied to lens surfaces reduces ghosting and flare that are otherwise likely to occur when shooting against the sunset’s glow and other backlit situations. Leveraging camera functions*, it provides excellent optical performance matching the latest high resolution image sensors from edge-to-edge throughout the entire zoom range. The 17-28mm zoom invites you into the breathtaking world of ultra wide-angle photography. * When shooting with the camera’s lens correction function enabled.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 19, 2022Verified PurchaseI'm a professional real estate and landscape photographer. So I've owned a lot of ultrawide lenses. A LOT! If I were to guess I'd say in total I've owned 25-30 different ones. This is up there with the best. Image quality is outstanding. Virtually no distortion, accurate colour rendition, minimal chromatic abberation, sharp corner to corner...it excels in all those areas. Build quality, although plastic-y, is quite appealing. It's lightweight which is especially nice for packing around and it's extremely compact.
If you're entering the Sony full frame arena and are looking at the 16-35s available from Sony I would strongly suggest you give this one some consideration. This one just might be my new favourite lens...it's THAT good.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 7, 2025Verified PurchaseMainly used it for professional videography and photography and the image quality is very sharp. The autofocus is lightning fast and makes no noise.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 17, 2021Verified PurchaseThe cheapest wide angle lens for Sony emount is great for what it is. Looses a bit of sharpness in the middle at 2.8 but nobody is shooting landscapes at 2.8. Probably the best vlogging lens since it’s small and light. I owned the 16-35 F4 Zeiss lens and I like this one a lot more. The Zeiss got scratched easily with its metal finished. I haven’t had this lens for too long but the plastic shell seems to be doing well. It’s also internal zoom with weather sealing gasket which is a bonus.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 1, 2020Verified PurchasePurchased this lens twice, first one I received was a tamron box with the wrong lense in it and had to return it that's why I gave it a 4 star but besides that it's a amazing lens, just what I needed, very crisp quality just what you would expect from tamron
- Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2020Verified Purchasemy first order had something wrong, so I return to 鶹 and re-order a new one.
Fast shipping, takes only 17 hours. I am afraid if I got a used one again, but I think this time is brand new, everything is goodq.
moving on to the quality of the lens. It has a plastic body, so It's very light for a gimbal
like Zhiyun weebill lab. You gonna love it if you are videographor.
I have Sony A7R4, A7M3 and A6500 body, and 6 sony lenses, 2 sigma lenses. I never used tamron before, so I was little worried about the quality. I took some shots and you can see the photos.
The lens is sharp, auto focus is fast and accurate. The price is the best deal in Canada ( retail price $1399).
I highly recommend this one if you need a wide angle lens, It's better than my 16
-35mm F4 zeiss.
ps: 鶹 has the best customer service, professional, easy going and efficient!

- Reviewed in Canada on January 3, 2020Verified PurchaseAmazing lens for my Sony A7III! Great for real estate photography, landscapes, and anything else you need an ultra-wide (but not fisheye) zoom lens for.
Aperture is fast, autofocus works wonders, and the build quality is fantastic. I would definitely recommend buying a this lens over Sony's 16-35mm F2.8 which is more than twice the price of this lens. Use the extra cash to buy the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 instead!
I do wish Tamron had gone with the 16-35mm focal range rather than 17-28mm, but it does make a perfect companion for my Tamron 28-75mm.

1.0 out of 5 stars Was different from my previous tamron 17-28 lens
Verified PurchaseThe zoom ring has a clicky sound which I’m pretty something is wrong with the lens. Didn’t even bother try the image quality and has initiated the return.

Cliente KindleReviewed in Brazil on April 6, 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente custo-benefício
Verified PurchaseExcelente ótica, a qualidade de nitidez das imagens fotografadas por ela não deixa nada a desejar para as lentes Sony. Bom auto-foco, rápido na luz, não tão rápido no escuro, mas acho que tem influência da câmera também, tenho uma Sony a7iii. Boa qualidade de construção. Seria perfeita se tivesse estabilizador de imagem nela, mas não tem, e esse é um dos motivos da lente ser leve e compacta.
- Mr. Sundeep GuntuReviewed in Australia on June 21, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars A great entry to Sony world
Verified PurchaseShipping on this item was extremely good, it arrived much before the mentioned date. The packaging is always good from 鶹 and this is no different. Even though this is an overseas import, buying from a service like 鶹 gives you that confidence in case things turn bad.
The lens is a great go for landscape/nature/family videography and very good on pictures as well, although my main focus is for video. The image is sharp and the auto focus works great with my a7Siii.
The price was very competitive and couldn't be more happier with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Es un lente versátil y muy nítido
Verified PurchaseLo uso para fotografía y video, ha sido una muy buena inversión, en cuanto a relación calidad- precio, es muy nítido, tiene un vineteado natural, pero es una muy buena opción si apenas estás iniciando.
