Tamron is working on a 28-75mm F2.8 lens for full-frame Sony mirrorless cameras

Tamron is working on a fast standard zoom lens for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Details are thin at this point, but the 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD will offer a minimum focus distance of 19cm/7.5in at wide-angle, will measure 11.7cm/4.6in long and weigh in at 19.4oz/1.2lb. Tamron claims the lens will offer excellent optical performance and high-quality bokeh. An 'RXD' stepping motor autofocus unit provides quiet operation for video applications, and the whole thing will be moisture-resistant.
