Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD

£TBA/$TBA www.tamron.com

The release of a Z-mount version of Tamron’s T 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD lens will offer an affordable telephoto option to owners of the Nikon Z 5 and Z 6II, filling a huge gap in the full-frame Nikon Z line-up. Nikon’s own telephotos are pricier pro-spec constant aperture designs that may appeal to owners of higher-end Nikons like the Z 7II and Z 9.

The new Tamron is also an interesting option for Nikon’s APS-C Z-mount models, including the Nikon Z 50, Z fc and Z 30. On these cameras it will offer an equivalent focal range of 105-450mm, making it a pretty powerful long-range telephoto.
