The TAMRON 25-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III VXD G2 marks a striking evolution in all-in-one zoom lenses, representing the next step forward from the much-loved 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD.
Compact, versatile and beautifully engineered, the 25-200mm G2 redefines what's possible in a single lens. The wider 25mm starting point gives photographers greater freedom for landscapes, interiors and travel scenes, while the extended reach up to 200mm ensures impressive telephoto performance for portraits, sports and distant subjects. Despite its broad focal range, the lens remains remarkably portable and balanced, maintaining the same lightweight design that made the original model so popular among mirrorless users.
At the heart of the G2's performance lies TAMRON's advanced VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) autofocus system, delivering lightning-fast, whisper-quiet precision. Whether you're photographing fast-moving pets, lively street scenes or fleeting moments in sport, the focus locks on instantly and tracks with confidence. This speed and accuracy make it an ideal companion for hybrid shooters who move seamlessly between stills and video.
Optical performance has been further refined in this new generation, ensuring sharper detail and improved clarity across the entire zoom range. From wide-open apertures to the telephoto end, the lens produces stunning contrast and beautifully rendered backgrounds. The 25-200mm G2 captures every nuance of light and texture, allowing your images to feel immersive and lifelike straight from the camera.
Close-up capability is another area where the lens excels. With an impressive 1:1.9 maximum magnification at the 25mm end, it's capable of half-macro shooting, perfect for capturing flowers, food, or small objects with exquisite detail. This versatility means that whether you're shooting a distant horizon or a delicate subject just inches away, the G2 delivers results that are consistently captivating.
Thoughtful design refinements make the lens as enjoyable to use as it is powerful. The ergonomics have been subtly enhanced, offering a comfortable grip and beautifully smooth operation of both the zoom and focus rings. The exterior has been upgraded with a refined surface finish, adding both durability and a premium feel that reflects TAMRON's attention to every detail.
As with TAMRON's other recent releases, the 25-200mm G2 is compatible with the TAMRON Lens Utility software, allowing users to personalise settings and optimise performance to suit their individual shooting style. It also continues TAMRON's commitment to practical design, sharing a unified 67mm filter thread with many of its other lenses, making filter swaps simple and cost-effective for those building a kit around TAMRON glass.
