Pre-order: Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD Lens for Sony E

We have 70-180/2.8 and 28-200 and extra 100mm doesn’t cut it for me. I wish Tamron or Sony make a 300/4 prime.

I'd be curious how this lens would compare to their 28-200 lens. The super zoom is even smaller and from what I've seen quite decent at 200mm. You lose 200-300mm, which if it really matters maybe it's better to go for a 100-400mm lens anyways. I'd much rather hike with the 28-200mm and an ultrawide lens.

Absolutely

If i want to go long and be lightweight I don’t mind using Sony 70-350mm G on a crop body that goes to 525mm and is equally lightweight. My second copy of 70-350 G is very sharp.
