Lens Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 for Nikon Z, standard zoom, constant f/2.8

Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 for Nikon Z is a standard zoom lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture that covers 28–75mm. Redesigned optics with 17 elements in 15 groups—including LD and GM elements—deliver high resolving power across the frame and natural, smooth bokeh while retaining a compact and lightweight form factor. The lens suits a wide range of photography from street and portrait work to landscapes, events and everyday shooting on Nikon Z mirrorless cameras.

Advantages

The lens offers markedly improved image quality over the previous generation, with high resolution to the edges at all focal lengths and attractive out-of-focus rendering typical of fast-aperture optics. A VXD linear motor autofocus system provides high-speed, precise and quiet focusing with substantially faster AF performance than the 1st-generation model. Close-focusing performance is enhanced (MOD 0.18 m at 28mm) with a maximum magnification of 1:2.7 for wide-angle close-ups, while the telephoto end reaches MOD 0.38 m and 1:4.1 magnification. Built-in support for TAMRON Lens Utility allows function customization and firmware updates via an optional connection cable.

Suitable for

• Street and documentary photography
• Portraits and environmental portraits
• Travel and landscape photography

How to use

Attach the lens to a compatible Nikon Z mirrorless camera and set the camera mount lock according to the camera manufacturer’s instructions. Use the zoom ring to select focal lengths between 28 and 75 mm and the focus ring for manual focus when required. For autofocus, allow the VXD linear motor to drive focus; the system provides fast, quiet focusing across the full focusing range from MOD to infinity. Connect the lens to a computer using the optional TAMRON Connection Cable and TAMRON Lens Utility software to customize functions or update firmware as needed.

Usage recommendations

For close-up wide-angle compositions, work near the MOD at 28 mm (approximately 4.4 cm working distance) to emphasize perspective effects; use the telephoto end for tighter framing and greater working distance. Use the constant f/2.8 aperture for low-light shooting and subject separation; enable quiet AF for video recording when minimal operational noise is required.
