The 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD lens for Fujifilm APS-C cameras that Tamron announced that it was developing last February is finally coming to market at the end of May for $829.
Tamron is developing the 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD (Model B060) for Fujifilm X-mount, which it describes as a lightweight and wide-angle zoom lens.
Tamron has made a name for itself by releasing a series of unique and nontraditional zoom lenses like the 28-75mm, 17-28mm, 70-180mm, and the renewed classic (for mirrorless) 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD. The new version of the lens for Nikon Z (or Sony E) brings a bit of comfort and nostalgia back to the hands of any telephoto shooter.
Tamron has launched its Lens Utility Mobile app on the Google Play Store. The software allows users with smartphones that run the Android operating system to use many of the features that were previously only available through the company's PC software.
Tamron appears to be working on a series of fast f/1.4 prime lenses according to patents filed in Japan. These lenses would be the fastest the company has produced for mirrorless cameras and would expand the company's rather small line of prime lenses.
Tamron’s trend of making atypical focal length lenses continues with the new 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lens. Like previous lenses in its "Frankenfocal" category, this new one is a success in everything that matters, from size, to resolution, to price.
At first glance, the Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD seems like Frankenstein’s monster of lenses. Super-telephoto lenses that provide a relatively wide focal length are uncommon and generally awful. Making a lens with such a wide range of focal lengths is complicated, yet Tamron made one that performs well across the zoom range.
The death of the DSLR has long been vaunted, and even after the appearance of the RF and Z mirrorless systems, it still sees signs of life. But dedicated lens manufacturers might finally have killed it off.
Tamron has announced the 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A062) for full-frame Sony E-Mount. The company says that it was created in "aggressive pursuit" of portability, and is the smallest and lightest lens in its class.
Tamron has announced that it is bringing the 150-500mm f/5-6.7 Di III VC VXD to Fujifilm X-mount. The lens was originally made for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras in April of 2021.
Nikon's first-party lens support for its Z-mount mirrorless cameras has been growing rapidly over the last few years to nearly 30 optics. But to support that rapid growth, the company appears to be purchasing Tamron designs and rehousing them to appear as Nikon originals.
Tamron has announced that it is developing its first Z-mount system lens in the 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD, which it bills as the smallest and lightest telephoto zoom for full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Tamron has filed a patent for a pair of zoom lenses designed for use on gimbals and drones: a 28-75mm f/4 and 28-80mm f/4.5. Both lenses are described as compact and with little change to their center of gravity across the zoom range.
While full-frame has received the most attention from camera manufacturers in recent years, there are plenty of great reasons to purchase smaller format sensors like APS-C. These systems can be cheaper, smaller, lighter, and offer greater reach over their full-frame counterparts.
The new Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD for E-mount and X-mount is an all-in-one APS-C lens with the power of 16.6x zoom. These types of do-everything lenses have a tradition of being subpar, but Tamron may actually have what it takes to pull off a winner.
Tamron has announced final pricing and availability details for the 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD and the 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2. Both lenses are coming this fall for Sony E-mount.

Most people don’t actually know what it means when I say I’m a “travel photographer,” it is usually met with a confused look and followed up by some variation of the question, "do you mean you travel for free?” or “who even pays you to travel?”
