Tamron has announced a new superzoom lens for Canon, Nikon and Sony APS-C cameras. The Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC lens updates its 10-year-old predecessor with the addition of Vibration Compensation and improved optics.
The new superzoom lens retails for just $249 with the Canon and Nikon versions shipping on August 20, 2015 and the Sony A-mount version at a later date. You can pre-order it here at B&H Photo.
Nikon just announced a trio of impressive lenses.
B&H has the new Sigma 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM Art lens in stock and now shipping for Canon EF mount. The Nikon version should be in stock soon.
The new 24-35mm zoom is the second large aperture zoom lens Sigma has launched recently. It follows the impressive Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens for APS-C cameras and is the first time we’ve seen an f/2 zoom for a full frame DSLR.
Sigma claims that optical performance of the new zoom lens is comparable to Sigma’s 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art and 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lenses. As such, Sigma suggests that it can replace 24mm, 28mm and 35mm prime lenses in your camera bag with this single zoom lens.

B&H has the Yongnuo 50mm f/1.8 lens for Canon EF mount in stock and now shipping for $57.98. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
