In Development: New All-in-One Tamron Lens for Nikon Z and Canon RF Mount

Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD (Model B061) is in Development!

One Lens That Covers Wide-Angle To Ultra-Telephoto-and Everything In Between! For Nikon Z Mount and Canon RF Mount.

Exciting news for Nikon Z and Canon RF APS-C mirrorless shooters—Tamron is bringing its versatile 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD (Model B061) lens to your mount! Originally released in 2021 for Sony E and FUJIFILM X mounts, this all-in-one zoom lens quickly became a fan favorite thanks to its incredible 16.6x zoom range—the first of its kind for APS-C mirrorless systems.

Now, that same flexible, travel-ready lens is headed to Nikon Z and Canon RF APS-C mirrorless cameras. While pricing and release dates haven’t been announced yet, this is one lens worth getting excited about.

One Lens, Endless Possibilities

Covering everything from wide-angle (18mm) to ultra-telephoto (300mm), this lens is built to handle just about any kind of photography you throw at it—landscapes, portraits, travel, wildlife, sports, and more. On an APS-C sensor, you're getting a full-frame equivalent of roughly 27–450mm for Nikon and 28.8–480mm for Canon. In other words: serious reach.

Compact, Capable, and Ready for Adventure

Despite its powerful zoom range, the 18-300mm is compact enough to toss in your bag for hikes, road trips, or city strolls. At the wide end, it focuses as close as 5.9 inches, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2—meaning you can even get up close for detailed shots of flowers, food, or small objects.

Smooth Autofocus and Steady Shots

Inside, Tamron has packed in its VXD linear motor for fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus—great for shooting moving subjects like birds, pets, or kids. And their built-in VC (Vibration Compensation) helps keep your shots sharp even when you're zoomed way in or shooting in low light.

Features at a Glance:

Massive 16.6x zoom range (18–300mm)
Close focusing distance of just 5.9 inches at the wide end
1:2 max magnification—impressive for a zoom lens!
VXD autofocus: fast, precise, and quiet
Tamron’s VC image stabilization built-in
Canon RF version includes AF/MF and VC ON/OFF switches

Stay tuned for more updates on availability and pricing—we’ll be sure to share as soon as we know more. In the meantime, if you're looking for one lens that can do it all, this one just might be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for.
