Tamron announces first mirrorless lens for Nikon Z-mount, will not make lenses for Canon RF-mount


As previously rumored, today Tamron announced the first mirrorless lens for Nikon Z-mount: Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD (model A047). The full press release can be found here.

I was told that Tamron will not make any mirrorless lenses for Canon RF-mount and if you are wondering why, you can check this post:
