With the Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065) for full-frame Nikon Z cameras, the highly praised lens introduced for Sony E-mount in 2023—the 70-180mm F2.8 VC G2—is now also available to Nikon users. This lens combines Tamron's patented VC image stabilization with an industry-leading compact and lightweight design, delivering uncompromising image quality throughout the entire zoom range.
Tamron's fast G2 lens trinity
The fast Tamron G2 trinity for Nikon Z-mount, also called “Daisangen”, is now complete with the 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064) ultra-wide-angle zoom, the 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A063) standard zoom, and now the new 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065) telephoto zoom.
Together, these three lenses cover the extremely versatile range of 16mm to 180mm, perfect for almost any subject. They share a uniform filter size of 67 mm, which ensures ease of use and cost savings. Even if you take all three on a photo shoot, the total weight is limited to just 1.8 kg.
Thanks to the constant, bright F2.8 aperture over the entire zoom range, they deliver consistently high image quality, fast shutter speeds and beautiful bokeh. These lenses are the perfect combination of performance and practicality, and make professional photography more accessible than ever.
