The 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is compatible with the dedicated Tamron Lens Utility software developed in-house by Tamron that empowers users to easily update the lens to the latest firmware without going through the camera. It also includes functions to support focusing operations and other actions when shooting still images or video. By utilizing a wide range of functions, users can expand the breath of expression in still images and video. A-B Focus allows users to limit focusing to two pre-selected focus points, shifting focus from one subject to the other with just a click of the Focus Set Button. Users can also choose between Linear and Non-Linear, which affects how the focus shifts during manual focusing.

Every individual part of the lens has been carefully scrutinized, right down to the fine details, resulting in an enhanced design that optimizes both operability and ergonomics. The surface of the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 exterior is glossy black. Improved abrasion resistance makes the lens barrel harder to scratch and resists fingerprints. The grip performance has been improved and the smoothly curved, elegant surface of the brand ring creates a dignified appearance with a design that signifies functional beauty and high quality.

Tamron's moisture resistant construction provides a protective barrier that helps prevent the lens from being influenced by moisture or rain. Tamron's Fluorine Coating on the front lens element repels water and oil, making it easier to wipe away smudges, fingerprints and dirt, and preventing condensation on the lens surface. Together, these features enhance the durability and usability of the lens in tough conditions.
