Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD for Nikon Z Mount [B061Z]
[High-speed, high-accuracy AF at the highest level in its class, so you don't miss a decisive moment] Tamron's unique linear motor focus mechanism VXD was adopted for AF driving. Since it has the highest level of speed, accuracy, and responsiveness as a high magnification zoom lens, you can comfortably focus from the shortest shooting distance to infinity even with a super telephoto 300mm (equivalent to 450mm in 35mm format conversion). It also has extremely high focus followability, so you won't miss that decisive moment even when shooting insects, animals, vehicles, etc. As for quietness, since the focus lens group can be directly driven without going through a gear, the motor's driving noise is low, making it ideal for still image shooting and video shooting in quiet environments.
[Amazing maximum shooting ratio of 1:2 for a high magnification zoom lens] The Model B061 boasts excellent close-up shooting capabilities that overturn the common sense of high-magnification zoom lenses. The 18mm wide-angle end achieves a minimum shooting distance of 0.15 m and a maximum shooting magnification of 1:2. Also, the working distance is an astonishing 5 mm*, so it is possible to have photographic expressions unique to wide macros that take in the background while getting as close as possible to the subject. *When shooting at a minimum shooting distance of 0.15 m (wide angle end), the distance between the subject and the lens tip is approximately 5 mm. Please enjoy shooting so that the subject does not come into contact with the ball in front of the lens.
[Achieves uncompromising optical performance across the entire zoom range] This lens is a high resolution lens that focuses on image performance while being a high magnification zoom lens. By luxuriously using special glass materials such as 4 LD (Low Dispersion) lenses and 3 composite aspherical lenses, beautiful depiction is achieved from the center of the screen to the periphery. Various aberrations, including chromatic aberrations, are drastically reduced. Furthermore, by applying BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating, ghosts and flares that tend to occur when shooting in backlight are thoroughly suppressed. It achieves both high image quality and soft bokeh throughout the zoom range.
[Equipped with Tamron's own image stabilization mechanism VC] This lens is equipped with Tamron's own image stabilization mechanism VC to suppress blurring that easily occurs in the telephoto range. It demonstrates its power even when shooting handheld in low light, such as in dim rooms or night scenes, and effectively reduces image quality deterioration. Also, by utilizing AI (artificial intelligence) technology, correction effects that take video shooting into consideration can be obtained at focal lengths of 70 mm or less.

The biggest feature of this lens is the 16.6x zoom ratio, which is the world's first APS-C mirrorless compatible lens. The focal length covers 18-300 mm (equivalent to 27-450 mm in 35mm format conversion). You can enjoy a variety of shooting expressions with this one, from super telephoto shooting that makes use of the attraction effect to wide-angle shooting that can capture vast landscapes. Also, it has an extremely compact design, weighs about 620 g, and uses a filter diameter of φ67 mm, which is common to most Tamron mirrorless lens series. You can handle any situation and work on shooting with ease.
