Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 Coming to RF and Z Mount in July
Tamron's 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD is coming to Canon RF and Nikon Z mounts on July 2nd, priced at $749 USD. The Z-mount version weighs 540g; the RF version is 530g and uniquely adds physical switches for OIS and AF/MF control. Both get USB-C for firmware updates and Lens Utility app support. DPReview's 2021 review of the E-mount version flagged distortion, onion-ring bokeh, and longitudinal CA, but rated it solid overall for the price.
