Tamron’s popular allrounder available for Nikon

The Tamron 28-75 has been praised by many Sony users as one of the best all-round lens ever made, and today Tamron announces the release of the popular lens for the Nikon Z mount.

The new Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is a versatile zoom lens designed for Nikons Z mirrorless cameras. The lens is renowned for its exceptional image quality and compact design and favored by photographers and videographers alike.

Whether shooting portraits, landscapes, or street photography with a fast constant aperture of f/2.8 throughout its zoom range, the Tamron 28-75mm G2 excels in low-light conditions, allowing users to capture sharp, detailed images with a beautiful bokeh. Optical construction consists of 17 elements in 15 groups with 2 GM and 2 LD special lens elements elements to minimize aberrations and enhance image clarity. The BBAR coating effectively eliminates ghosting and flare even when shooting in challenging backlit scenarios.

The lens comes with the advanced VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus system, renowned for its silent operation, rapid responsiveness, and precise autofocus accuracy. This makes it ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects or ensuring sharp focus in video recording situations.

By connecting the lens to Tamron Lens Utility users can customize the functions of the lens. For example, A-B Focus that allows users to limit focusing to two pre-selected focus points, shifting focus from one subject to the other with just a click of the Focus Set Button. Users can also choose between Linear and Non-Linear, which affects how the focus shifts during manual focusing.

The new lens keeps the same compact form as the Sony version and features Tamron's unified 67mm filter size. Its robust build quality ensures durability, while weather-sealing protects against dust and moisture, making it suitable for use in various shooting conditions. The front lens is coated with Tamron's Fluorine coating, known for its high-water repellency and anti-fog qualities.
