TAMRON has announced the development of the 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD, an all-in-one zoom lens for Nikon Z mount and Canon RF mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. It is being touted as a lens that covers wide-angle to ultra-telephoto and everything in between.
The lens will be available in the Northern Hemisphere summer this year.
The 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD was the world’s first lens to achieve a zoom ratio of 16.6x when it was released in 2021 for the Sony E and the FUJIFILM X mounts. Now, four years later, TAMRON is finally releasing it in Nikon Z and CANON RF mounts.
