Lens Tamron 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras

The TAMRON 25-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 (Model A075) is a compact all-in-one zoom lens that extends the wide end to 25mm while keeping a 200mm telephoto reach. As a second-generation G2 model it builds on the original 28-200mm design, offering improved optical performance, faster autofocus driven by TAMRON’s VXD linear motor, and a close-focusing capability with a maximum magnification of 1:1.9 at the 25mm position. The lens is intended for a wide range of photography from everyday shooting and landscapes to sports and close-up work.

Advantages

The lens combines an 8x zoom range and compact size for versatile use without sacrificing image quality. TAMRON’s optical design maintains high resolution across the zoom range, while the VXD autofocus system delivers faster, more precise subject acquisition and tracking compared with the previous generation. At the 25mm wide end the lens offers an MOT of 0.16 m and a 1:1.9 magnification ratio for strong close-up performance. The lens is also compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility™ for setting customization and firmware updates, and it qualifies for Tamron’s free 5-year extended manufacturer’s warranty after registration.
