Description
Description
Wide-to-standard versatility in a compact, constant-f/4 zoom.
On a Sony full-frame body, the Tamron 17–50mm f/4 covers everything from immersive ultra-wide scenes to natural-looking portraits—without the heft. The constant f/4 aperture keeps exposure consistent, VXD linear AF is quick and quiet for both stills and video, and the internal-zoom design keeps the lens the same length for better balance on gimbals and small rigs. Close-focus performance is a surprise, too: get in tight for dramatic foregrounds and detail-driven storytelling.
