What is the tamron 17 28mm f 2 8 di iii rxd good for?

The Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD is a wide zoom for full-frame Sony E cameras. Its f/2.8 maximum aperture is useful in dim rooms and for a little subject separation, but it isn't stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up when handheld.

I'd use it for wide scenes: landscapes, interiors, and street work where the surroundings matter. The 28mm end is close to the street look I like, so it's a sensible single lens if you want to go wide without carrying much.
