Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 Lens (Nikon Z)

Designed to Fit Comfortably in Your Hand

The 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065) is the “G2” as a 2nd-generation successor to the 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A056), a lens that earned widespread acclaim and has been enjoyed by users around the world. The new model keeps its fast f/2.8 aperture, now adds TAMRON’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilisation and provides significantly enhanced close-up performance. Its 180mm telephoto end allows for a remarkably compact body, setting it apart from bulkier 70-200mm lenses. In addition to offering the highest level of mobility, the optical design has been completely revamped from the 1st-generation model to further enhance its exceptional optical performance. With the 70-180mm f/2.8 VC G2, TAMRON has pushed both rendering capabilities and miniaturisation to their limits. These advancements amplify the joy of capturing the world around you.

Capturing the World in Vivid Detail from Portrait to Landscape Photography

The design of the 70-180mm f/2.8 VC G2 has been fully redesigned from the ground up to deliver uncompromising optical performance throughout the entire zoom range. This model has an optical construction of 20 elements in 15 groups. The precision combination of multiple special lens elements, including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), three LD (Low Dispersion), two GM (Glass Moulded Aspherical), and one hybrid aspherical lenses, further enhance the correction of chromatic and various other aberrations. Additionally, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating suppresses ghosting and flare to enable the crisp and clear rendition of images and to assure high resolving power that captures subjects in minute detail. Another feature is the beautiful, soft bokeh that the fast f/2.8 aperture provides, vastly expanding the breadth of expressive possibilities available to you. From snap photography to portraits and landscapes, enjoy a diverse range of shooting in any situation.

You Never Miss Decisive Scenes with Improved Fast and Precise AF Tracking Performance

The AF drive of the 70-180mm f/2.8 VC G2 continues to employ the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism first introduced in the 1st generation Model A056, inheriting its proven quality and performance. With astoundingly agile performance representing a high mark in TAMRON’s history, this AF system faithfully fulfils the intentions of the photographer with an extraordinary precision of 0.005mm, less than one-tenth the width of a human hair. Furthermore, these precise calculations have been applied to further enhance the tracking performance of moving objects such as vehicles and sports action, ensuring you never miss decisive scenes, whether shooting still images or video. In addition, the quietness offered by the linear motor system provides nearly silent performance when using the lens in conditions where noise needs to be minimised.

Unified 67mm Filter Size

Nearly all TAMRON mirrorless lenses have a 67mm filter size. This allows you to use the same filter among a wide range of lenses. PL and ND filters are typically expensive, so sharing saves money. Additionally, this eliminates the need to search for caps with different diameters when switching lenses.
