Tamron’s Future Looks Bright

Tamron just shared some big plans for the near future, and it looks like photographers have a lot to look forward to. In its latest financial report, Tamron says it's aiming to launch six or seven new lenses this year, with as many as 10 new models starting in 2025. That sounds super ambitious, but it’s worth noting that Tamron counts bringing existing lenses to new mounts as “new models,” so not all of these will be brand-new designs.

Last year, for example, Tamron introduced three entirely new lenses and then re-released four existing ones for different mounts, like bringing some of its popular zooms to Nikon Z and Canon RF. This year, they’re doing the same with the 18-300mm APS-C zoom, which is coming to both Nikkor Z and Canon RF—technically two new models in their books, even though the design isn’t new. Still, it’s exciting to see Tamron keep expanding its lineup for Nikon and Canon mirrorless shooters, especially with Canon only allowing autofocus APS-C lenses from third parties for now.

The real hope is that at least some of these upcoming lenses will be genuinely new designs. Tamron has hinted that it’s open to making more primes and whatever else photographers are asking for, so fingers crossed we’ll see a few fresh surprises along the way.
