Tamron 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 Lens (Sony E)

The Tamron 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 Lens (Sony E) delivers exceptional versatility in a compact form. Covering wide to telephoto focal lengths, it’s a true all-in-one solution for travel, portraits, and everyday shooting. The bright f/2.8 aperture at the wide end ensures excellent low-light performance, while the fast VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor enables smooth, silent autofocus. Engineered with Tamron’s latest optical and image-processing technology, this G2 version offers improved sharpness, color accuracy, and seamless integration with Sony’s in-camera corrections—making it a powerful go-anywhere, do-anything zoom lens.

A Wider Zoom Range

A long history of capable all-in-one zooms continues to expand with the release of the 25-200mm, which now reaches to an even wider 25mm compared to its predecessors. This provides photographers with a touch more range and with a minimum focus distance of just 6.3" at the wide end they can also get closer with a 1:1.9 magnification ratio, or half-life-size macro.

The wide-angle to telephoto range provides shooters with plenty of options as they work, benefitting everything from landscapes to portraits to sports. A fast maximum aperture at even allows for shallow depth of field with smooth bokeh.

Fast Autofocus and Advanced Optics

An advanced VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) motor powers a fast and accurate autofocus system for capturing sharp, detailed imagery. Combined with modern-day optics, including GM, LD, and XLD elements, results in a highly capable lens that is a reliable choice for discerning photographers. A BBAR-G2 Coating also helps reduce the impact of ghosting and flare.

Smooth Operation

An updated design features an improved surface finish that has improved grip and resistance to abrasions and fingerprints. The zoom and focus rings have been further optimized for smoother rotation for improved tactile control over the lens. Additionally, the lens is moisture resistant and has a fluorine coating on the front element to provide water- and oil-resistance.
