TAMRON DEVELOPS ‘WORLD FIRST’ F/2 ZOOM FOR NIKON Z

Available to the trade and its customers via distributor Transcontinenta UK, third party lens manufacturer Tamron has announced the development of its own branded 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD lens for Nikon’s Z mount. With a range that suggests suitability for both portrait and travel photography – enabling the capture of magnificent vistas at 35mm and dynamic close ups at 150mm – it is claimed to be the world’s first zoom for Nikon’s mirrorless range that offers a maximum wide-open aperture of f/2. A new design is said to offer improved operability and comfortable ergonomics, while the incorporation of the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focusing mechanism suggests the fast lens delivers swift and highly precise auto focus. Topping off the package is a moisture resistant construction, fluorine coating and hood locking mechanism. The focal range also ensures that Nikon photographers don’t need to keep changing lenses to be able to shoot a wide range of subjects.

Tamron’s latest is expected to land with us sometime this autumn at a price yet to be decided. Tamron.com
