Strong performance at a moderate price: Tamron's fast telephoto zoom is a real value-for-money tip.
The Tamron 70-180 mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 is a telephoto zoom lens specifically designed for mirrorless Nikon Z-Mount cameras. This successor model features a constant maximum aperture of F/2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, allowing for excellent performance in low light and consistent exposure control. Tamron's VXD Linear Motor drive ensures fast, precise, and quiet autofocus operation, making it suitable for both photography and video recording. The vibration compensation technology reduces camera shake, enabling sharper handheld shots at longer shutter speeds. With a compact and lightweight design, this lens offers excellent portability while delivering professional optical performance. The focal length range of 70-180 mm corresponds to 105-270 mm on full-frame cameras, providing versatile options for portrait, event, and sports photography. The optical construction includes special lenses to control chromatic aberration, distortion, and stray light for high contrast and color accuracy. The lens features a moisture-resistant design and a fluorine coating on the front lens element to protect against environmental influences. A special custom switch and compatibility with the Tamron Lens Utility software allow for personalized operating settings. The filter thread measures 67 mm, and the lens maintains a constant length during zooming for balanced handling. This lens represents a significant upgrade over the previous generation, with improved autofocus performance, enhanced image stabilization, and refined optical construction for superior image quality throughout the zoom range.
