Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 DI III-A VC RXD Nikon Z

Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 DI III-A VC RXD Nikon Z | One zoom for wide scenes and portraits

Without a standard zoom, moving between a wide landscape, a travel scene and a portrait can mean changing lenses or shifting your position. The Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 DI III-A VC RXD is an interchangeable standard zoom for Nikon Z cameras with an APS-C sensor. Its 17–70mm range takes you from wide views to tighter framing, making it a good fit for photographers whose subjects and shooting distances change through the day. It suits landscape, travel, portrait and event photography, and can also be used for astro work. Autofocus takes care of focusing as you compose, while the broad zoom range lets you adjust your framing without swapping lenses. It’s a practical everyday option for a Nikon Z APS-C kit when you want one lens to cover a varied schedule.

On a Nikon DX body

For a sense of its framing on Nikon DX, the 17–70mm range gives a full-frame-equivalent view of about 25.5–105mm. That takes it from a broad perspective for travel and landscapes to a tighter view for portraits, without changing lenses.
