Wider and even more versatile than its successor, the Tamron 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 can easily become many photographers go anywhere and do anything lens. Designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the 25-200mm is a match with a relatively compact and lightweight design for its zoom range and aperture. Also, Tamron has used the latest imaging technology that works together with the camera for fast, smooth operation.

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.

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.

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.
