This is the first image of the upcoming new Tamron 25-200mm f/2.8-5.6 lens that will be released in autumn.
Why I am considering to buy this:
I’m a happy owner of the current 28-200mm FE. It’s far from the best lens optically, but it has one standout quality: it’s compact, lightweight, and perfect for my mountain hikes. The only thing I always wished for was a bit more range on the wide end. This new lens delivers exactly that with a far more practical 25mm starting point—while keeping the same size and weight. Tamron even claims image quality has improved!
Sure, having the 20mm from Sigma’s lens would be nice, but the 20-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lens is slower, and I suspect it won’t match Tamron in overall image quality.
