Tamron 70-180mm review by CameraLabs: “compelling alternative to the Sony”
CameraLabs tested the new Tamron 70-180mm lens and concluded:
It produces very good image quality including a soft Bokeh and very usable close-up performance in a package that is much smaller, lighter, and cheaper than Sony’s FE 70-200mm f2.8 GM. It may not have all the bells and whistles of Sony’s professional zoom lens and its biggest disadvantage is the incompatibility with teleconverters. But it still is a compelling alternative to the Sony and clearly earns a recommendation!
Also Photographyblog published the full lens review:
Overall, unless you really, really need the extra 20mm reach of a “true” 70-200m zoom, the new Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD is a truly unique lens that performs exceptionally well in almost every regard, and is therefore a deserved winner of our coveted Essential award.

Leaked: Tamron will announce the new 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 RXD lens on June 11
Tamron will announce the new 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 RXD lens on June 11. I have been told that this lens has the same size of the current 28-75mm lens when it’s collapsed. I think this will become a real hotseller: One lens to rule them all :)

Note: Nokishita beat me on time. I got the specs 10 hours ago but he published the info now before me :)
The new Sony Full Frame camera just got the Bluetooth certification test
As you may remember I told you Sony is ready to launch two new cameras soon. The first is likely to be the Sony A7sII successor (code “WW271448“) and the second is a camera that will be “the first of it’s line” (code “WW850128“).
Today that second “mysterious” got the Bluetooth certification test (Click here). This is just one more confirmation it’s going to be announced soon. The little I heard about this camera is:
- first camera of a new name line
- it’s a Full Frame camera
Drop me a message if you know more about this camera and the possible A7sIII successor. Thanks!
