Tamron has announced a new all-in-one superzoom lens for Nikon Z-mount and Canon RF-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. The Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD (Model B061) is a reworked version of a lens first available in Sony E and Fujifilm X mounts that was released in 2021, and at the time was the world's first APS-C-format lens for mirrorless cameras to achieve a zoom ratio of 16.6x. We were impressed with these previous incarnations of the lens, as you'll see in our 4.5-star review.
The 16.6x zoom range lets you shoot everything from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto focal lengths, all without needing to change lenses. Designed exclusively for APS-C format sensors, it gives an effective focal length of 27-450mm on Nikon cameras with their 1.5x crop factor and 29-480mm on Canon cameras when taking their 1.6x multiplier into account. Combined with its compact design, the generous zoom range makes it ideal for use as a travel lens to capture a diverse range of subjects, including landscapes, snapshots, portraits, wildlife, and sports.
