Tamron has announced that they are developing a fast standard zoom lens: the 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036), intended for full frame Sony E-mount cameras.

The minimum object distance is 7.5 in at the wide angle zoom setting.

28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD for Sony will incorporate Tamron’s new high-speed and precise AF driving system. The company promises quiet AF performance, which will make this lens useful for shooting video. On top of it all, the lens is light-weight and weather-sealed.
