Tamron has just released a very short clip (see above) that shows no less than 4 upcoming lenses alongside its existing two full frame E-mount zoom lenses to be released later this year.
Tamron seem to be on a roll when it comes to E-mount lenses and its about to expend its line considerably. While the exiting 28-75mm f/2.8 has been doing well for a while and the new 17-28mm f/2.8 received good reviews (see here), the company has no prime lenses for Sony cameras at the moment.
It is hard to tell exactly what Tamron is planing from this short clip but from the looks of it there is a single long telephoto lenses (possibly a 70-200mm f/2.8 or something similar – which will be a welcome addition to its line and to Sony users in general who currently have only the large and expensive Sony version or adapted lenses which have their own shortcomings), plus a trio of smaller, probably prime lenses.
One possible route that Tamron might take is releasing a version of its 3 SP DSLR primes lenses for mirrorless cameras – the existing SP 35mm F/1.8 Di VC USD, SP 45mm F/1.8 Di VC USD and SP 85mm F/1.8 Di VC USD – all very well received lenses in the Tamron lineup.
At the moment there is no info on pricing or availability of these upcoming lenses but we will report as soon as more information will be shared.
