Tamron has released the 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD ultra-telephoto zoom lens for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. This lens boasts an impressive 8x zoom range starting at 50mm, along with autofocus and vibration compensation, all within a fairly compact and portable design. The lens is versatile enough for a wide range of photography, from landscapes and wildlife to sports and portraits, so let’s have a look!
