Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD (Sony E)
A full-frame one-lens travel zoom for Sony E covering a 7.1x range at 575g with a 67mm thread, this is a well-rounded enthusiast-tier travel option. The f/2.8 wide end is a standout for an all-in-one, making it a tidy travel kit. Telephoto low-light suffers at f/5.6, and with no VC it depends on body IBIS for stable video.
