Tamron announces 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 for Nikon Z-mount

TAMRON announces the launch of the 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065), a fast-aperture telephoto zoom lens for Nikon Z mount system full-frame mirrorless camera.  The lens will retail for $1,149 USD / $1,549 CAD.

With this announcement of the Nikon Z mount, TAMRON expands the availability of the 70-180mm F2.8 VC G2, previously announced in 2023 for Sony E-mount.  The 70-180mm F2.8 VC G2 is a fast-aperture telephoto zoom lens that combines TAMRON’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization mechanism with a class-leading compact size and weight design offering both outstanding portability and greater stability across a wide variety of scenes. It delivers uncompromising image quality throughout the entire zoom range. At the wide end, the lens achieves an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of just 11.8” (0.3m), allowing for close-up compositions. For autofocus, the lens features TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism that delivers excellent quietness and responsiveness for high-speed, high-precision auto-focusing whether shooting stills or video. Additionally, the lens supports the TAMRON Lens Utility™, software that can be used to customize functions based on various shooting styles for still photography and video.
