Sony A7 mark III body + Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 DI III VXD G2

The Sony A7 mark III body is a full-frame mirrorless camera that is perfect for professional photographers and videographers. With this camera, you benefit from even greater speed and higher image quality than its predecessors in the A7 series. The camera features a 24.2 MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor and offers the ability to shoot video in 4K resolution. With no fewer than 693 phase-detection points covering 93% of the frame, and 425 contrast-AF points, you benefit from fast and highly accurate autofocus. The impressive ISO sensitivity range of 100–51200 (expandable to 50–204800) means the A7 mark III also performs excellently in low-light situations. The high-quality XGA OLED Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder (EVF) keeps your subject clearly in view and reproduces even the finest details with lifelike accuracy. You can also choose between 'High' or 'Standard' image quality for both the viewfinder and the camera's monitor.

In addition to stills photography, the Sony A7 mark III body is also exceptionally well suited to professional video production. The camera shoots in 4K quality across the full width of the full-frame sensor. The new HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) picture profile supports an HDR workflow, allowing you to play back your footage in lifelike quality on HDR-compatible televisions. For greater colour grading flexibility, you can make use of the S-Log2 and S-Log3 functions. Prefer to shoot in Full HD? Then you're guaranteed 120fps at up to 100 Mbps — ideal when you want to edit your footage and incorporate slow-motion sequences into your videos.

What makes the Sony A7 mark III so well suited to the professional photographer includes, among other things, the dual memory card slot. This allows you to shoot for longer without having to swap the memory card in your camera. In addition, the battery delivers up to 710 shots per charge. With the comprehensive 'My Menu' function, you can store and recall up to 30 different menu options whenever you need them — the ideal way to quickly access your favourite settings and options. The mirrorless camera is also dust- and splash-resistant, so you don't need to put it away immediately in bad weather or when you find yourself in a damp environment.

Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2

The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A063) is a zoom lens. It is the successor to the popular 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036). This updated lens retains the compact form factor of its predecessor, but features a new optical construction based on a redesigned layout aimed at improving image performance. The functions on this lens are compatible with the latest digital camera models offering higher resolution.

With a minimum focusing distance of just 18 cm in the wide-angle position and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7, this lens delivers advanced performance for close-up shooting. The lens also features a newly designed housing.

The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is compatible with the new 'Tamron Lens Utility' software developed by Tamron. The 'Tamron Lens Utility' software can be operated via the user's computer by connecting the lens through the dedicated port using the optional Tamron USB-C connectivity cable. Users can customise the lens functions and update the firmware via the lens itself, rather than through the camera body.
