Tamron announces 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD for Nikon Z mount

Tamron announces the Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD (Model A067z), a unique 8x telephoto zoom lens, starting at 50mm on the wide end for added versatility, for full-frame Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. Presenting compactness that pairs well with Nikon Z mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Tamron 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is an ultra-telephoto zoom lens that covers from the 50mm standard focal length up to 400mm ultra telephoto. This is Tamron’s challenge to the standard 100-400mm. Featuring an 8x zoom ratio that begins at an unprecedented 50mm (commonly called the “standard” focal length for full-frame cameras), this ultra-telephoto zoom lens is both smaller and lighter than conventional 100-400mm zoom lenses yet offers a wider angle of view on the wide end for excellent versatility. The 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC is amazingly compact with a length of just 185.8mm (7.3in) and a light weight of 1,180g (41.6oz). In addition to its small size, it provides unparalleled high performance at all focal lengths. Despite the very high zoom ratio, superb image quality is delivered across the entire standard to ultra telephoto range through the effective arrangement of special lens elements. Equipped with Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism that offers excellent quietness and responsiveness, plus Tamron’s proprietary image stabilization mechanism VC (Vibration Compensation), the lens delivers incomparable versatility for all shooting scenarios.
