Along telephoto lens for full-frame cameras can be quite an expensive outlay. This is where looking at third-party makers, such as Tamron, can be a good way to keep to a stricter budget. Its 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III is available in Sony E and Nikon Z mount versions – here we’re looking at the latter.
With its RRP of £699, not only do you get a very well-priced optic, you also get something longer than Nikon currently offers in its own range of mid-range zooms. Going up to 300mm makes this a good choice for a range of subjects, including portraits, wildlife, sports, event photography and close-ups, or even architecture and landscape photography.
This is also a lens that those who don’t want to carry around massively weighty and chunky lenses might opt for. Of course, for that privilege, there is a trade-off to consider. In this instance, it’s that the aperture is fairly narrow, ranging from f/4.5 at 70mm to f/6.3
