Compact, lightweight design offering superior portability with all-in-one zoom versatility
From wide-angle to telephoto, all-in-one zoom lenses deliver a wider range of usefulness, from everyday snaps to travel and much more. That’s why TAMRON pursued a high level of portability in the development of the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6, achieving a compact, lightweight design that’s a mere 4.6″ (117mm) long and weighs just 20.3oz (575g). The small size enables comfort and convenience, even during extensive travel, without the burden of a heavy camera bag. The 67mm filter size is the same as other lenses in TAMRON’s mirrorless lens lineup. This means that the filters such as circular polarizers and lens caps can be used for all models in the series, for greater convenience and less hassle during lens changes.
Maximum aperture at the 28mm setting is a blazing fast F2.8
The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 is the first all-in-one zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras to offer a maximum aperture of F2.8. It maintains outstanding performance throughout the entire zoom range, and aperture values of F3.5 at 50mm, F4.5 at 100mm, F5.6 at 200mm. From landscape photography to portrait photos and snapshots, the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 delivers finely detailed images in a wide range of shooting situations. The generous use of special LD and XLD lens elements (with properties close to those of fluorite) enables it to thoroughly minimize chromatic and other aberrations, while the application of BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating offers high anti-reflective benefits and reduces ghosting and flare that are otherwise likely to occur when shooting backlit scenes. Additionally, by leveraging camera functionality*, the lens delivers excellent optical performance to match the high-resolution image sensors on the latest cameras, achieving beautiful images that are a cut above all-in-one zoom lenses of the past.
*When shooting with the camera’s lens correction function enabled.
Close-up shooting performance that’s astonishing for an all-in-one zoom lens
The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 delivers amazing close-up performance for an all-in-one zoom lens. At 28mm wide-angle, the MOD is 7.5″ (0.19m) with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.1, and at the 200mm telephoto end it has an MOD of 31.5″ (0.8m) with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.8. In addition to capturing stunning close-up images, you can leverage the blurred background bokeh utilizing a large F-number and enjoy unique close-up shots that were not possible with all-in-one zoom lenses until now.
High performance autofocus system means you'll own every shooting opportunity
The AF drive on the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 features the RXD motor unit to help you stay focused on the action. RXD uses an actuator to precisely control the rotational angle of the motor, allowing it to directly drive the focusing lens without passing through a reduction gear. A sensor that precisely detects the position of the lens enables high-speed and accurate AF, which is ideal when shooting continually moving subjects or recording video. And with a focusing system that is both smooth and quiet, the 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 lets you shoot free from stress not worrying the drive sound in a quiet environment.

Lens Features
Features
A 7-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.
The application of BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating for suppressing reflections on lens element surfaces minimizes unwanted flare and ghosting to deliver sharp, crisp, high-contrast images.
The 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD has a switch that can lock the zoom ring at the 28mm focal length if desired. This prevents the unwanted extension of the lens barrel due to the weight of the lens during transportation.
For greater protection when shooting outdoors, leak-resistant seals throughout the lens barrel help protect your equipment.
The front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that is water- and oil-repellent. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints.

FAQs
Why choose the Tamron 28-200mm?
The 28-200mm combines wide-angle through telephoto focal lengths in one compact full-frame Sony E-mount lens. It starts at F2.8 at 28mm, weighs 20.3 oz., and offers close-focusing capability, making it useful for travel, everyday photography, landscapes, portraits, and other situations where carrying multiple lenses may not be practical.
Does the 28-200mm have image stabilization?
The 28-200mm does not have Tamron’s built-in VC image stabilization. When it is used on a Sony camera equipped with in-body image stabilization, stabilization can instead be provided by the camera body.
Is the Tamron 28-200mm weather-sealed / moisture-resistant?
The 28-200mm has Moisture-Resistant Construction with seals around vulnerable areas of the lens barrel, as well as a fluorine coating on the front element. These features provide additional protection when shooting outdoors in light rain, snow, or other inclement conditions. However, the lens is not waterproof and should be protected from heavy or prolonged exposure to moisture.
Is 200mm enough reach for wildlife photography?
200mm can work well for larger animals, nearby wildlife, zoo photography, and situations where the photographer can get reasonably close to the subject. For small birds or distant wildlife, a longer focal length will generally provide more subject magnification and framing flexibility.
What's the difference between Tamron's 25-200mm and 28-200mm lenses?
The 25-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 is the second-generation successor to the 28-200mm. It expands the wide end from 28mm to 25mm, uses faster VXD autofocus, improves optical and close-focusing performance, and adds compatibility with Tamron Lens Utility. Both cover 200mm at the telephoto end and have an F2.8-5.6 maximum aperture range.
