The imaging performance is very high at every focal length and across the entire image area. When the aperture is open, there is a beautiful bokeh effect. With these and many other innovations, the 28-75mm F/2.8 G2 lens is the first choice for anyone looking to maximize their creativity.

The minimum object distance (MOD) of 0.19 m (7.5 in) at the wide-angle end and the maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.9 achieved by the 1st generation model A036 were highly appreciated because they allow users to enjoy close-up photos that emphasize perspective, something we see only in wide-angle lenses. 

The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 achieves a MOD of 0.18m (7.1 in) at the wide-angle end, 1cm (0.4 in) closer than the A036 model, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7. This allows users to get even closer to the subject for wide macro photography, enabling a strong visual impact with the subject in large size while maintaining a wide view of the background in the frame.

The Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 lens features a fresh, new design. Some internal parts of the zoom ring and focus ring have been improved, resulting in smoother overall functionality.

The circumference of the lens barrel has been reduced to give the lens a contoured profile that makes it easier to hold. This creates a comfortable shape that fits comfortably and naturally in the hand.

Additionally, the surface of the lens's exterior is glossy black, much glossier than previous models. The improved abrasion resistance makes the lens barrel more difficult to scratch and more resistant to fingerprints.
