Z System Now Has Three f/2.8 Zoom Sets

With the announcement today of the Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 VC G2 for the Z mount, we now have three sets of f/2.8 zoom lenses available:

  • Nikon S: 14-24mm f/2.8 S, 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, and 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S 
  • Nikon: 17-28mm f/2.8, 28-75mm f/2.8, and 70-180mm f/2.8
  • Tamron: 16-30mm f/2.8 G2, 28-75mm f/2.8 G2, and 70-180mm f/2.8 VC G2

That second Nikon set is essentially the Tamron G1 series with some small Nikon changes and Nikon-style cladding.

The just announced Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 VC G2 adds Tamron's Vibration Compensation to the changes in optical formula from the Tamrikon G1 model, and will sell for US$1149 when it arrives later this month.
