- Robustness, light weight and compact dimensions speak for the Tamron lens. The performance is very good.
- For X cameras, a mechanical aperture ring would make sense, which would better support the operating concept of the Fujifilm models.
Tamron's second lens for the X bayonet provides Fujifilm photographers with a successful alternative to the camera manufacturer's standard zooms. The optical performance is very good, and the shooting functions such as autofocus and image stabilisation are also convincing.
The fast Tamron is calculated for the APS-C image circle and is a 25-105 mm KB standard zoom on APS-C cameras. An image stabiliser is on board for 860 euros. At 17 mm we measure a high resolution in the centre of the image, this also applies to the contrast. The fringing is moderate, stopping down reduces it...
- Good resolution
- Fast, quiet autofocus
- Integrated image stabiliser
- Weatherproof housing
- Good price-performance ratio
- Good handling, however ...
- The Tamron delivers a well-balanced performance that is appropriate given its affordable price. The handling is good.
- The equipment with functional elements can be expanded. A locking switch for the focal length and an AF/MF switch would be desirable.
With its 4.1x zoom factor, the Tamron lens is a powerful all-rounder that delivers beautiful free-frame effects, for example in portraits, thanks to its high speed. The street price of the lens has already dropped significantly, making it an interesting alternative for Sony photographers.
The Tamron 2.8/17-70 mm Di III-A VC RXD delivers strong performance in terms of resolution: an attractive all-rounder for APS-C.
... With its 67 mm filter diameter, the sealed zoom joins the phalanx of previous E-lenses. The quiet autofocus with RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent) technology facilitates video recording without annoying focusing noises. The close-up limit of the 17-70 mm is fluid, only 19 cm at 17 mm and 39 cm at 70 mm setting...
