The Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD (Model B061) for Nikon Z- and Canon RF-mount cameras is an all-in-one zoom lens and was the world’s first lens with a 16.6x zoom ratio when it was introduced in 2021 for Sony E, as well as Fujifilm X mount. The Nikon Z and Canon RF versions had also been announced by then.
With a zoom range from an 18mm wide angle to a 300mm supertelephoto focal length, this lens lets you shoot without changing lenses—ideal for subjects ranging from buildings, landscapes and snapshots to portraits, animals and birds.
Its compact design also makes it easy to take on vacation, day trips or longer hikes. The minimum focusing distance is just 0.15 m (at the wide-angle end), delivering a 1:2 reproduction ratio (half life-size), which is ideal for beautiful macro shots.
As with other Tamron lenses for mirrorless cameras, the filter diameter is 67 mm.
The 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD also features Tamron’s fast and accurate VXD linear autofocus mechanism and proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization.
