Tamron has patented a new standard zoom lens in Japan. The new patent describes the Tamron 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 VC lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The optic in the patent application features a focal range between 28mm and 70mm along with a maximum aperture range of f/3.5-5.6. The standard zoom lens seems to feature built-in image stabilization technology.
This would be good news for the current users of Sony A7-series E-mount cameras with full frame image sensor. As Tamron produce such good lenses with an affordable price. See the image and patent details below.
