August 7, 2025, Commack NY – TAMRON Americas announces the launch of the 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD (Model B061) all-in-one zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras on August 28, 2025, for Nikon Z mount and September 26, 2025, for CANON RF mount. Both lenses will retail for $629 USD / $849 CAD.
The 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD (Model B061) is an all-in-one zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras. It was the world’s first lens[1] to achieve a zoom ratio of 16.6x when it was released in 2021 for the Sony E and FUJIFILM X mounts.[2] And now, it is being released for Nikon Z and CANON RF mounts.
The 16.6x zoom range lets you take photos from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto without having to change lenses. With its wide to ultra-telephoto reach[3], this all-in-one lens is ideal for a wide range of scenes, including landscapes, snapshots, portraits, animals, and birds. What’s more, thanks to its compact design, you can easily take it with you on vacation, backpacking, and hikes. The MOD (Minimum Object Distance) is 5.9” (0.15m) at the wide end, and the maximum magnification ratio is 1:2, making it possible to capture impressive images that bring out the power and detail of the subject. The lens is equipped with the high-speed, high-precision linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) and TAMRON’s original VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization mechanism, supporting comfortable and stable shooting. This all-in-one zoom lens makes photography more fun because you can use it in an unlimited number of situations. Its versatility will inspire you to push your creativity further and further.
