As you know, all three of these lenses are Tamron-based Z-mount lenses. These three Tamron lenses have become very popular for other mounts for a few years already, with excellent image quality and sturdiness. Cheers

@6gwilliams as you know, it’s no secret that these are rebadged Tamron lenses for Z-Mount.

I have this lens and it's great. But I bought the *Tamron* 28-75 f2.8 G2 lens over the similar (Tamron-made) Nikon version because it is improved.

Is this better on the Zf than 50/35 f1.4 as every lens ith the extra length saving is noticeable? How about a longer lens like 28-400mm on Zf as everyday lens? Is that tele lens has character and pop or flat?

The 28mm f/2.8 is just as good as this 40mm f/2 and a great companion lens as well.
@Leo_dont_shoot_videoАй бұрын
Nikon could seriously boost the relevancy of the Z8 just by fixing that Frankenstein piece of garbage they call a battery grip. Imagine a grip that actually matches the shape of the camera and uses the EN-EL18 batteries from the Z9. Your business case for the Z8 as a second camera for a Z9 goes way up. Longer shooting times. Only one type of battery and charger to carry. Z8 shooters can still use EN-EL15 batteries if they want a Z8/Z6iii ecosystem, so there is no downside to the decision. You don't have to rework the entire camera for maybe another year or so. Shoot, license Neewer or Meike to do it if you don't want to do it yourself. Fix the $300 and make your $4000 item more desirable and valuable. Until then, the Z8 is nice, but not great.

I just purchased the Nikon z6iii and I am looking at the Tamron 28-75 f2.8, but I have been reading that the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S is the only way to go. I am planning on purchasing the Tamron 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD, and a wide angle lens, like the NIKKOR Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR. Is the Nikkor 24-70 worth the extra $1,000.00? Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
@dlovisualsАй бұрын
I owned the Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 S and it absolutely amazing for what it does. If you’re a working pro, def worth the money. However, now that this Tamron is available and after using it for a few months for paid work, if I was in the market for a fast general purpose zoom, I’d go with the Tamron, save the $1000 or use it to buy another lens for my kit. Image quality wise, it’s close to the 24-70 2.8 S and same with AF performance.

This is more of a comment for the know-it-all commenters. This lens so short and light that it doesn’t need a heavy metal mount. I’ve happily used Nikon’s similarly mounted DX AF-P lenses on a D7500 without issue for several years. Nikon says it’s dust and drip resistant. It doesn’t say it’s waterproof.
