タムロン 28-200mm f2,8-5,6 Di III RXD ソニーEマウント

Picked this up for my Sony body and it’s replaced two primes on trips—the 28mm end is sharp enough for landscapes and the 200mm reach handles portraits beautifully. The fast f/2.8 at wide angle really makes a difference in low light without breaking my back carrying multiple lenses.

I was skeptical about a 28-200mm being sharp at f/2.8, but the results on my α7 IV are genuinely impressive for travel shots. The autofocus is quick and silent, which makes capturing street scenes feel effortless.

The range is what sold me—going from a wide 28mm to a solid 200mm telephoto without swapping lenses means I never miss a shot on hikes. And the f/2.8 at the wide end gives that lovely blurred background even in dim light. It's heavy-ish, but the image quality on my α7 IV is tack sharp.
