Nikon Z50II body

Equipped with the powerful EXPEED 7 image processor, which is also used in the top-of-the-range Z9 model, and Nikon's own deep learning technology, the mirrorless Nikon Z50II enables effortless photography and filming. The camera automatically recognizes nine different subjects and accurately tracks even fast, unexpected movements. The Z50II's electronic viewfinder (EVF) is the brightest in its class *1 and enhances the fun of shooting. Designed with practicality in mind, this bright EVF provides a clear, detailed view even in bright sunlight, dark environments or changing light conditions.

Among the creative features that make this camera particularly attractive to content creators are the easy-to-use Picture Control settings. This allows photos and videos to be designed directly in the camera. Users also have free access to the Nikon Imaging Cloud, where exclusive image styles and color presets can be downloaded directly to the camera. A special button on the Nikon Z50II allows direct access to the Picture Control settings: Effects are visible in real time, and switching between different presets while shooting is effortless

Tamron 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 Di III -A Nikon Z-Mount

The Tamron 18-300mm is equipped with VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization, which ensures stable shots even at ultra-telephoto focal lengths, and supports half-macro shots with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. You can shoot almost anything with just this one lens, and

the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC has already won praise from users of the Sony E- and FUJIFILM X-mount versions. It is aimed at both beginners and advanced photographers who have previously worked with kit lenses - as well as users who have come to appreciate the advantages of an all-in-one Zoom in the DSLR era.

Landscapes, snapshots, portraits, animals, birds

An all-in-one Zoom lens for all types of photography

The main feature of this lens is its wide 16.6x Zoom factor, the world's first for a mirrorless interchangeable lens in APS-C format when it was released in 2021. It covers a focal length range of 18-300mm and allows for a wide range of photos from wide-angle to super-telephoto. In particular, this all-in-one Zoom with its 300mm super telephoto range is suitable for a variety of situations, from sweeping landscapes and everyday snapshots to portraits, animals, birds, sports and children's events. In addition, the weight is approx. 635 g and the filter diameter is φ67 mm - as with many of our mirrorless lens series. The compact design is ideal for use when traveling and hiking, and

the best-in-class VXD autofocus is fast and accurate, ideal for bird and wildlife photography

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC lens is a versatile Zoomlens with high speed, precision and responsiveness that puts
at the top of the all-in-one Zoomlens category. This is due in part to TAMRON's VXD linear motor focus mechanism. Even at the ultra-telephoto focal length of 300 mm, this lens offers comfortable focusing from the smallest distance to infinity. The focus tracking system skillfully captures the decisive moments when photographing birds, animals, vehicles or other moving subjects.The linear motor suppresses drive noise and is therefore ideal for taking photos and videos
in quiet environments.

The maximum magnification factor is 1:2, absolutely amazing for an all-in-one lens

In the 18 mm wide-angle range, the lens achieves an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15 m and a maximum magnification factor of 1:2. With an amazing working distance of 5 mm*, you can get as close as you want to your subject while capturing the background and achieving a photographic expression unique to wide-angle macro photography

*When shooting with an MOD of 0.15 m in the wide-angle range, the distance between the subject and the front tip of the lens is approximately 5 mm (0.2 inches). Make sure that the front element does not touch the subject when shooting with the MOD.

Uncompromising optical performance across the Zoomrange

The 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC offers outstanding resolution achieved through TAMRON's persistent pursuit of image quality excellence. The optical design incorporates several special lens elements, in particular four LD (Low Dispersion) and three hybrid aspherical lens elements. These elements help to produce clear, sharp images from the center to the corners. Chromatic aberration and other optical aberrations are well corrected. In addition, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating suppresses ghost images and stray light, which often occur in backlighting. Across the entire Zoom range
, the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC offers both high image quality and a soft, creamy bokeh.

TAMRON's proprietary VC supports telephoto and low-light shooting

This lens is equipped with TAMRON's proprietary VC mechanism to minimize the effects of camera shake that can occur at the telephoto end of the range. It demonstrates its performance when shooting handheld in low light conditions such as indoors or at night. It effectively reduces the degradation of image quality. Using AI technologies, the lens selects the compensation characteristics for
videography at focal lengths of 70 mm or less.

TAMRON Lens Utility software for Nikon Z and CANON RF mounts

For the Nikon Z and CANON RF mount versions, you can use the TAMRON Lens Utility software
specially developed by TAMRON5. With this application, you can easily update the lens to the latest firmware yourself without having to go into the camera6. On the firmware information screen, you can check the version of your lens and update it if a newer firmware version is available.
