The great Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 lens review is ready.  Once again I’d like to thank a kind reader, Steve from CT for making it possible for me to review the Tamron lens.  It’s a good way to help me, and others in the Sony/Minolta community.

I now have the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di lens in my hands, and will start on the Sony/Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 comparison.  I see the front and rear of each lens looks identical, though the body of the Tamron is slimmer.  I’ll be doing a complete review of this lens, but since there is so much interest in the…
