Tamron’s new 70-180mm f/2.8 lens is nearly half the weight of the standard 70-200mm workhorse – and less than half the price

Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD.

Tweaking the focal length of a traditional workhorse zoom can create a versatile lens that’s lighter and more affordable than competitors – and that’s exactly what Tamron is doing with its new trinity zoom lens. The Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 is the lightest f/2.8 telephoto zoom available, according to the company, and now it's coming to more camera bodies.

On Tuesday, October 7, Tamron announced the Nikon Z Mount variant of the 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC G2, effectively completing the so-called Holy Trinity for Z Mount creators alongside the G2 versions of the 16-30mm and 28-75mm.
