Outstanding high-resolution performance delivers an unprecedented photo experience
With the goal of producing outstanding high image quality befitting a new fast-aperture zoom lens, TAMRON redesigned the optical design in the new 28-75mm F2.8 G2 from scratch. The optical construction employs 17 elements in 15 groups. To minimize optical aberrations to an extreme degree, two LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements are used in an optimal arrangement. The lens demonstrates high resolving power to the edges of the frame at all focal lengths, while also offering the soft and beautiful bokeh that is distinctive to fast-aperture lenses. The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 provides a lightweight and compact size while achieving significant improvements to resolution and overall performance across the entire zoom range. The new standard zoom is ideal for a wide range of photographic genres from street photography and portraiture to landscapes and general family events like vacations and holidays.
Capture all the action with high-speed, high-precision VXD AF
The AF drive system is equipped with VXD linear motor focus mechanism. VXD is exceptionally responsive and operates at high speed with great precision. With reliable, speedy focusing from the MOD to infinity and extremely good focus tracking, you are ready for those important moments even when photographing fast-moving subjects. Moreover, the AF drive motor is very quiet, making it ideal for still photography and videography when shooting in conditions where near-silence is required.
Lightweight and compact lens body
The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is a fast-aperture standard zoom lens in a remarkably compact and lightweight design, just 117.6mm (4.6″) long, with a maximum diameter of 75.8mm and weight of only 540g (19oz)*. With a size that is easy to carry and a weight that’s well-suited for handheld shooting for extended periods, the 28-75mm F2.8 G2 will become your best choice for travel, street shooting, everyday carry, and spontaneous photo opportunities.
*Length and weight are based on the Sony-mount lens.
Achieves an MOD of 0.18m (7.1") and maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7
Get closer to any subject and enjoy the world of wide macro photography. The MOD of the 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is 0.18m (7.1″) at 28mm allowing photographers to capture powerful shots that emphasize the perspective effects unique to wide-angle photography when shooting close-ups. The working distance is 4.4cm (1.7″) at MOD. The maximum magnification ratio is 1:2.7. In addition, at the telephoto end the MOD is 0.38m (15″). The magnification ratio at 75mm is 1:4.1, enabling close-up shooting with a greater working distance.
TAMRON Lens Utility™ expands the possibilities of still photography and video shooting
The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is compatible with the dedicated TAMRON Lens Utility software (for PC/ for devices with Android™ [1] OS) developed in-house by TAMRON that empowers users to easily update the lens to the latest firmware without going through the camera[2], and includes functions to support focusing operations and other actions when shooting still images or video. By utilizing a wide range of functions[3], users can expand the breadth of expression in still images and video. For example, A-B Focus allows users to limit focusing to two pre-set focus points, shifting focus from one subject to another with just a click of the Focus Set Button. Users can also choose between Linear and Non-linear, which affects how the focus shifts during manual focusing.

Unified 67mm filter size
Great things come in compact packages! Many of TAMRON’s mirrorless lenses share the same 67mm filter diameter suitable for pairing with mirrorless cameras. In addition to providing excellent portability when carrying multiple lenses, costly circular polarizers, ND and other filters can be used interchangeably. Plus, the hassle of looking for different-sized lens caps when switching lenses has been eliminated. In addition to outstanding optical quality, you will enjoy the highest level of convenience across the entire lineup.

Zoom Ring, Focus Ring
Grip texture has been improved by redesigning the striped pattern on the rubber focusing and zoom rings. Certain internal parts have also been enhanced. These advancements result in smoother overall operability. TAMRON has also adjusted the stiffness and torque of the zoom ring to facilitate smoother and more precise operation.
* For Model A063
New Sculpted Shape
The diameters of the zoom ring and focus ring have been enlarged, and the body areas around them have been slimmed down to give the lens a contoured profile that makes it easier to grip. This creates a comfortable, uneven shape that fits snugly and naturally in the hand.
Deep, Luxurious Black Exterior Finish
The surface of the lens exterior is shiny black, much glossier than previous models. Improved abrasion resistance makes the lens harder to scratch and resists fingerprints.
Brand Ring
The “brand ring” on the lens mount is a sign of trust with the user, and the smooth curved surface and glossy surface treatment give the camera a unique and dignified appearance that is pleasing to both the eye and the hand.

Circular Aperture
A 9-blade diaphragm is configured to retain a smooth, circular-shaped aperture opening even when stopped down by two stops from the wide-open aperture. This produces a smooth-edged bokeh in background highlights.

TAMRON has long been an innovator of coating technologies that prevent ghosting and flare. Second-generation BBAR-G2 Coating is a groundbreaking advancement that provides vastly improved performance compared to the original BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating. The coating corrects for ghosting and flare to an unprecedented extent and renders fine subject detail with true clarity and stunning contrast even under backlit conditions.
