Lens test Expert opinion on the latest kit - TAMRON 17-70MM F/2.8 DI III-A VC RXD

Mount the Tamron 17-70mm F/2.8 MDi III-A VC RXD on an APS-C format Sony E-mount mirrorless body and it will function with an effective zoom range of 25.5-105mm. That's very similar to using the highly popular Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS on a full-frame camera, but with the added bonus that the Tamron's constant aperture rating is a full f-stop faster. Naturally, you get the same effective zoom range with the Fujifilm X-mount version of the lens.
