Sony’s Best Wide Angle Lenses Got More Affordable

Last Updated on 04/11/2023 by Lara Carretero

Sony photographers: some of our favorite wide-angle zoom lenses are made by Tamron (which Sony partially owns!) There are discounts on Tamron lenses again! Tamron lenses are super affordable, well-built, and pack pretty great image quality. While some folks might think that they’re plasticky, they’re not all that way. In fact, they’ve got a metal ring at the mount and are some of the most durable that we’ve tested. Couple this with good autofocus speed and being lightweight for what they are, and there’s a lot to love. Take a look at the list below!

These Tamron deals last until April 30th 2023

Here’s a quote from our Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 lens review:

What’s working for the Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 Di III RXD is the fact that it is not only a weather-sealed lens, but also internally zooming. Because it zooms internally, there are fewer places for moisture and dust to get inside and disrupt the way it works. The lens also has sealing around the mount: a very important feature as the seal keeps moisture out. This also prevents you from having to clean the contacts on the camera and the lens, which results in a higher success rate with autofocus performance.

This lens along with a bunch of others are currently having instant savings from Tamron. So check them out!
