Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD Review
Today, I'm reviewing the Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD, a full-frame mirrorless lens available for Sony E and Nikon Z mounts. I've used this lens extensively in the field over the past few months, and I've also brought it into our lab for extensive tests. Want to see how...
Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 S vs Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3
Partly for fun - and partly to see if you get what you pay for - I wanted to compare two rather different telephoto zooms today. One of them is among Nikon's most coveted professional lenses, the Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 S; the other is a third-party optic that costs about...
Nikon AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E vs Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3
One of the most popular types of telephoto lenses is the humble 70-300mm variable-aperture zoom. They're small, light, and cheap - and many of them still manage good image quality. It's anyone's guess why Nikon has taken so long to introduce one to their Z system. Instead, photographers who want...
Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 vs Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3
Nikon Z photographers who want a lightweight telephoto zoom have only a handful of options. Two of the most interesting choices are Nikon'z own Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR and the Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD - which is Tamron's first official autofocus lens for the Z system. If you're...

Nikon Z Is Getting a 70-300mm Lens! (From Tamron)
Tamron has announced their first-ever lens for the Nikon Z system (not counting the Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 that was… heavily inspired, let’s say, by Tamron’s version of the lens). It’s a 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3, the same as their existing Sony E lens, and it fills one of the most glaring holes in Nikon’s lens lineup.
Which Tamron Lenses Should Nikon Z Prioritize?
The recent, unexpected announcement of the Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 – with identical optics as the Tamron G1 28-75mm f/2.8 – makes me wonder what’s next. Will Nikon and Tamron work together on any more Z-series lenses? If so, these are the lenses they should prioritize.

Today, Nikon announced the development of the roadmap’s 800mm f/6.3 prime as well as an unexpected 28-75mm f/2.8 Z-series zoom lens. Of the two, the 28-75mm f/2.8 is the big surprise and not exactly what it appears to be at first glance. Here’s what we know so far.
