  "account": "The Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 zoom lens, initially launched for the Sony E-Mount in 2022, is now set to be released for the Nikon Z camera mount from October 22. Reviewers awarded the compact design a 4.5-star rating, praising its lightweight and fast aperture. Weighing at 380g / 13.4 oz, it's significantly lighter than Nikon’s 14-30mm f/4 S and only slightly longer than the 24-50mm f/4-6.3. With a constant f/2.8 aperture, the lens excels for various photography needs, offering a wide 20mm focal length for landscape shots and vlogging, as well as versatility for portraits and snapshots. The Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 features weather-sealed construction, protecting its 12 optical elements from dust and moisture, and includes a USB-C port for controlling the lens via a mobile app. Priced at $729 / CA$999, or approximately £551 / AU$1,046, this compact lens provides exceptional value for Nikon Z camera users.",
  "summary": "The Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 will arrive in a Nikon Z mount version at the end of October, bringing an unusually compact lens that doesn't sacrifice aperture",
