Sharpness at 75mm

The sharpness tests for this review were carried out using a real-world subject rather than a test chart. The Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD lens was attached to a Sony A7 III body, which in turn was mounted on a sturdy tripod. Self-timer mode was activated. Slight tonal changes are due to slight changes in natural light during the session.

Center sharpness is a little soft at f/2.8, good at f/4 and outstanding between f/5.6 and f/16. At f/22 sharpness is beginning to drop off a little due to diffraction. Edge sharpness is best between f/8 and f/16.
