Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 DI III VC VXD G2 Nikon Z

Versatile telephoto zoom for Nikon Z

The Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 is a flexible telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon Z full-frame cameras. It’s a strong choice for portraits, weddings, wildlife, and sports, offering a practical focal range in a remarkably compact and lightweight body.

Bright aperture, beautiful rendering

With a constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, this lens gives you consistent exposure control and excellent low-light performance. The 9-blade diaphragm helps create smooth, attractive background blur with a pleasing near-circular aperture shape.

Advanced optics for sharp results

The redesigned optical construction uses 20 elements in 15 groups, including aspherical, LD, and XLD glass elements to help maintain strong image quality from edge to edge. The result is crisp detail, controlled aberrations, and impressive performance across the frame.

Fast autofocus and effective stabilization

Tamron’s VXD linear motor delivers fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus, making it easier to capture action and fleeting moments. Built-in VC image stabilization helps reduce camera shake, supporting sharper handheld shots at longer focal lengths, in low light, and at close distances.

Close focusing for creative versatility

This G2 version improves close-up capability, focusing down to 30 cm at 70mm. With a maximum magnification of 1:2.6 at 70mm, it’s also well suited for detailed nature images and semi-macro-style compositions.

Built for everyday shooting

The lens features a durable, moisture-resistant construction and a zoom lock to help keep the lens secure during transport. It also supports Tamron Lens Utility software, allowing you to customize lens functions, assign camera body controls, and update firmware when needed.
