Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 DI III VXD (Nikon Z) lens

Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 DI III VXD (Nikon Z) lens

The Tamron 35-150mm with a similar focal length has been released previously for SLR cameras, but this lens has a new optical structure and the maximum aperture is one aperture higher, i.e. a whopping F2-F2.8! The lens works with APS-C sensor size and full-frame cameras.

This is the same lens as the previously released Sony version. So it promises very good image quality, so there are tons of comparisons and tests about this lens on YouTube, for example.

• A unique lens! From a slight wide angle to a telephoto lens and a maximum aperture of F2-F2.8!
• Weatherproof construction
• With a full-sensor camera: a single-lens solution from mild wide-angle to telephoto
• A very bright telephoto zoom with a focal length equivalent to 53-223 on an APS-C body!
• Powerful VXD focus motor - Hybrid AF and EyeAF support

Tamron advertises this in their own materials as a superzoom for travel use, but we at Kameralieikke dismiss this idea as a marketing gimmick. This is a great single-lens solution for, for example, portrait photography, event photography and sports photography in a milieu, especially indoors when you need a slightly wider head so it doesn't get too cramped and the maximum aperture is most useful!

The zoom, which starts at a wider 35mm focal length, is very handy in many situations. This lens is great for photographing people and in the blink of an eye you can get a detailed portrait or a slightly wider overview. On the edge of a sports field or in cramped indoor conditions, you can now do just fine with one bright and fast-focusing lens.

The lens is weather and dust protected with rubber seals, and the front lens contains a fluorite coating that prevents dirt and makes cleaning easier.
