Tamron launches the 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD lens for Nikon Z

The highly anticipated new Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD is the world’s first zoom lens with an f/2 maximum aperture designed exclusively for the Nikon Z-mount lineup of mirrorless cameras. Spanning a popular wide-angle-to-telephoto zoom range, this lens is ideal for everything from portrait to travel photography. Until now, this Tamron lens model has been available only for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras.

One of the things that sets the Nikon Z Series of mirrorless cameras apart is the large 55mm inner diameter of the lens mount and short 16mm flange focal distance. This allows more light to reach the camera’s sensor and in turn facilitates exceptional low-light performance. Combined with its ample maximum aperture, the versatile Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD zoom lens opens up incredible opportunities to capture edge-to-edge detail in both stills and video, spanning a wide range of focal lengths without the inconvenience of having to swap out lenses.
