Pros:

excellent image quality in the frame centre across the whole focal range to boot,
good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor,
sensible image quality on the edge of full frame for shorter focal lengths,
negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration,
low spherical aberration,
moderate astigmatism,
sensible coma correction,
nice out-of-focus areas,
slient, quick, and accurate autofocus,
slight vignetting on the APS-C sensor,
good performance against bright light,
good price/performance ratio.

Cons:

very high vignetting on full frame,
noticeable lateral chromatic aberration at the 75 mm focal length.

Our summary is going to be short. The Tamron 28-75 mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is a very well-put-together lens, an excellent successor of its much-praised older version. If you add to that a very sensible price, amounting nowadays to about $800, you get an instrument it would be difficult not to recommend. Every photographer who needs a fast, universal zoom lens designed for full frame mirrorless cameras should take a closer look at this one.
