Tamron has announced a new all-in-one zoom lens with the 28-300mm f/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD for Sony E-Mount full-frame cameras. A versatile addition to their line up at an affordable price point, this lens covers macro to telephoto shooting and everything in between with features that also make it a capable option for video. This lens is great for those looking to upgrade from a kit lens to get more out of their camera, or for someone looking for a backup lens they can rely on to cover a wide array of shots.
With a focal range that spans from wide to telephoto, this lens is comfortable in many different situations, while its slim profile and low weight make it easy to bring with you on the go. Features like the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) motor focus mechanism and VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilizing help you get clean images throughout the entire focal range all the way up to 300mm. There are even more professional-minded features such as a customizable focus set button, zoom locking mechanism, and moisture-resistant construction with fluorine-coated glass.

Can you compare this new lens to the 18-300mm f 3.5-6.3 Di IIIA VC VXD? Thanks.
The biggest difference is that the Tamron 28-300mm f/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD Lens is a full frame lens, so it will work with full frame cameras like the Sony A7iv without cropping the sensor. The Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD Lens is an aps-c lens, it is made for cameras with an aps-c sensor such as the Sony A6700. If you use it with a full frame camera like the Sony A7iv it will crop the full frame sensor. Less than half of the available megapixels will be used. So if you have an aps-c camera get the 18-300 as it is less expensive and also has a wider zoom range that will give you a true wide angle. If you have a full frame camera get the 28-300 so that the sensor is not cropped and you can use all of the available pixels.
Will this lens operate with a Sony A9 III at its maximum 120 fps speed? If not, what fps is supported? TIA.
The Tamron 28-300mm f/4-7.1 lens won't operate on the Sony A9III at 120 fps, unless there is a new firmware released in the future. It will work at 15 fps.
