Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD for Nikon Z

An All-in-One Zoom Lens for All Kinds of Photography

The main feature of this lens is its broad 16.6x zoom ratio, the world’s first1 for an APS-C size mirrorless interchangeable lens. It covers a focal length of 18-300mm2, allowing you to take a wide range of photos from wide-angle to super-telephoto. In particular, this all-in-one zoom with its 300mm super-telephoto reach is useful in a wide range of situations, from vast landscapes and everyday snapshots to portraits, as well as animals, birds, sports and kids’ events. In addition, the weight is approximately 620g (21.9oz)3, and the filter diameter is 67mm—the same as many in our mirrorless lens series. The compact design is ideal for use on trips and hikes.

Best-in-Class Autofocus VXD That’s Fast and Precise, Great for Bird and Animal Photography

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC lens is a versatile zoom with speed, precision and responsiveness that ranks at the top of the all-in-one zoom lens category, due in part to TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. Even at the ultra-telephoto focal length of 300mm, this lens provides comfortable focusing from the minimum distance to infinity. Its focus tracking expertly captures decisive moments when photographing birds, animals, vehicles or other moving subjects. Since the lens group for focusing can be driven directly without the use of gears, the linear motor suppresses drive noise, making it ideal for still photo and video shooting in quiet environments.

Maximum Magnification Ratio Is 1:2, Absolutely Amazing for an All-in-One Zoom Lens

At the 18mm wide end, the lens attains an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15m (5.9 in) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. With an amazing working distance of 5mm (0.2 in)4, you can get as close as you want to your subject while capturing the background and take a photographic expression unique to wide macro photography.

Uncompromising optical performance throughout the entire zoom range

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD is a high-resolution all-in-one zoom lens created through TAMRON’s persistent pursuit of outstanding image quality. The optical construction includes several special lens elements, specifically four LD (Low Dispersion) and three hybrid aspherical lens elements. These elements help to produce clear, sharp images from the center to the corners. Chromatic aberration and other optical aberrations are well corrected. In addition, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating suppresses ghosting and flare, which commonly occur in backlit scenes. Throughout the entire zoom range, the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD provides both high image quality and soft creamy bokeh.
