Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II for Sony
Available Today
NOTE: this is for crop sensor (DX) Alpha cameras only.
The Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 is Tamron’s ‘Professional Grade’ wide angle lens. It is a very sharp wide aperture wide angle solution. It is extremely popular with both Canon and Nikon shooters, and we expect it to be be well received by Sony shooters also. There are some slightly better, very slightly better lenses in this range, but they are generally twice the price of the Tamron.
