Is Tamron seriously planning to launch this 20-400mm megazoom?
I got a tip from an anonymous caller. So there is a high probability that this is WRONG and BS. But I’m posting this anyway because this lens has a unique focal length and I’m actually wondering if you would want a lens like this:
Tamron is planning to release a 20x superzoom lenses in autumn 2024: the 20-400mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD, which weighs in at just over 1kg, but isn’t particularly heavy.
Tamron’s full-frame focal lengths range from 17mm to 500mm, but the arrival of the 20-400mm F/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD, which almost covers the entire focal length range, breaks the silence in the field of lightweight full-frame superzooms.
Meanwhile, evaluations of pre-production models show that its image quality is surprisingly close to that of other 400mm/500mm lenses from the same manufacturer.
Like I said, I think it’s 95% likely that this rumor is wrong. But just imagine for a moment if there was such a lens…. One lens to tulle them all :)
