I spotted a couple of new patents describing more new zooms designed for Full Frame mirrorless cameras. In the past year we now have a total of seven FE zoom designs. One of them might be the newly teased lens? Let us know which one you like to get:
Loading ...Personally something like a 28-130mm FF lens sounds more likely to become true…
Tamron announced a new firmware update for the 70-180mm FE lens.
This update improves the following issues:.
1. A malfunction of Inner body image stabilizer occurs when used at about 70-85mm focal length and at more than 5.5m of object distance.
Applicable camera models: α7 II
2. When you use flashes, there is a delay from the time the shutter button is pressed to the time the shutter and the flash release.
Applicable camera models:α7, α7 II, α7R, α7R II, α7S, α7S II, α5000, α5100, α6000, α6300, α6500, NEX-3N, NEX-5R, NEX-5T, NEX-7, NEX-F3, NEX-6

My sources confirmed the teased lens is not the usual f/2.8 zoom from Tamron. This is a new affordable travel lens.
Our reader Puni Puni made this image size analysis:
We have some hints about ratio between mount width and lens length.
261:482 from the image is like a ratio of 1:1,85
The 17-28 is ratio 1:1,58
The 28-75 is ratio 1:89
The 70-180 is ratio 1:2,39
This new lens have the same length as the 28-75 when zoom is retracted. Very interesting.
So while this lens will have about the size of the current 28-75mm FE it will have a slower aperture and longer focal range. I hope it’s a better version of the Sony 24-240mm FE lens :)
P.S.: There will be two more FE lenses coming in 2020 after that new travel zoom.
Tamron will soon announce a new Full Frame E-mount lens! This is a new zoom and I shall get some more news soon! This si the first of the three FE lenses Tamron will announce in 2020 :)
The teaser video says the lens is “made for everycenery” which might suggest this is a perfect travel zoom lens…
Note: You can chat with me about this lens on our new Discord group.
