Tamron is bringing the 20-40mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A062) to Nikon Z. Tamron says the full-frame zoom goes on sale October 22, 2026. The company’s own release does not list a US price. DPReview reports $729, which is $30 more than the $699 Sony E version announced in 2022. The Z mount is made under license from Nikon. You can now pre-order at B&H Photo Video.

The range is the reason to look at it. A constant F2.8 from a real 20mm to 40mm covers landscapes and everyday frames without stretching into a 24-70. On a Nikon DX body that is about 30-60mm equivalent. There is no vibration compensation. The small barrel is the compensation.

Sigma has added a Nikon Z version of the 16-300mm F3.5-6.7 DC OS | Contemporary. Sigma America says authorized dealers get it on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at a regular price of $769. Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, and L-Mount already sell the same optical design. The Z mount is the new one, made under license from Nikon. You can pre-order at B&H Photo Video.

On a Nikon DX body the range works out to about 24-450mm. Sigma calls the 18.8x zoom the first of its kind on an APS-C mirrorless autofocus lens, as of September 2026. That claim does not travel to the Canon RF version, which Sigma lists at about 25.6-480mm because of Canon’s crop.
