Tamron is breaking ground with an older APS-C lens
When you use DPReview links to buy products, the site may earn a commission. Tamron has announced that it's working to bring its 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD lens to RF mount and Z mount. While it's only the company's second RF lens, it stands out even more on Nikon's system: it's the first third-party APS-C zoom lens with autofocus announced for Z mount. That's more groundbreaking than the long list of qualifiers might imply. Nikon's lineup of APS-C-focused zooms includes just four lenses, and those are pretty much the only choices available unless you're willing to buy heavier, larger and more expensive full-frame lenses. Nikon also doesn't offer a lens with this large of a zoom range, nor as far a reach. Tamron says the 18-300mm was the "world's first lens to achieve a zoom ratio of 16.6x when it was released in 2021 for Sony E mount and Fujifilm X mount." Earlier this year, Sigma announced the 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS Contemporary, which very slightly beats the Tamron when it comes to zoom ratio. It's also available for RF mount, though not for Z mount. While some photographers don't find all-in-one zooms exciting, they can provide a lot of versatility to shooters who don't want to buy or carry around multiple lenses. Even though this type of lens generally doesn't have the greatest image quality or light-gathering ability, it's hard to argue that it's not a good fit for more entry-level systems, especially given its massive zoom range. In equivalent terms, its a 27-450mm for Nikon and a 29-480mm for Canon. The RF mount version of the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD will have switches to toggle optical stabilization and autofocus on and off, as well as a lock switch to keep it from extending. Like the E and X mount versions, the Z mount model will have the lock switch, but not the other two. Tamron says pricing and availability "will be announced at a later date." The lens retails for around $700 for other mounts.
