For information about compatibility with Nikon Z series cameras (Updated : June 22 2020 / Model A011 F004)
Notice about compatibility for Nikon D6 with Tamron lenses (June, 2020)
Dear Tamron product users and potential purchasers.
Thank you for your continued support of Tamron products.
We would like to announce to you that we have confirmed that some of our lenses do not work properly with the Nikon D6 released on the Japanese market on June 5, 2020.
Affected models
SP 35mm F/1.4 Di USD (Model F045) for Nikon
17-35mm F/2.8-4 Di OSD (Model A037) for Nikon
Symptom
1. AF does not work when the camera power is turned on after mounting the lens with the camera power off.
2. AF does not work when the camera returns from sleep mode.
We are currently working on the cause of those issues and will inform you of updated information on our website.
We sincerely apologize to all users and potential purchasers for any inconvenience this issue may cause.
SP 150-600mm VC Panning (MAY 2015)
Dear users and potential purchasers of Tamron interchangeable lenses for SP150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD (Model A011) for Nikon/Canon.
Thank you for using our well-acclaimed Telezoom SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD.
This lens is a high quality Super Performance-Telezoom for various types of photography. Due to the original design, the use of VC (Vibration Compensation) function could potentially increase the probability of image blur when shooting fast-moving subjects, such as racing cars, using a panning technique.
We are pleased to advise you that the VC function of SP 150-600mm now can be updated to accommodate panning shots with VC Mode “ON”.
Whether you try to capture a stationary subject or something moving at a relatively high speed such as automobiles, the system automatically selects the optimal VC mode by detecting the motion of the camera/lens outfit. Thus, no switch-over is required between “ON” and “OFF” after the update.
The modification can be done by overwriting the firmware data at Tamron authorized service station. For handling procedures please contact our service department at 1-800-827-8880 (option 1) or by emailing us at custserv@tamron.com.
This update only effects lens performance when taking panning shots, so you may continue to enjoy the lens without this upgrade.
Please feel free to inquire any further details. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Tamron india

Tamron lenses built for use on Nikon cameras, with the exception of those listed below, feature a Built-In Motor for autofocus compatibility with Nikon's D40, D40X, D60, D3000 and D5000 Digital SLR cameras. These Tamron lenses in Nikon mount can be identified by the model number, which includes the Roman numeral two after the "N" (e.g., B003NII-700). If you have any question about the compatibility of a Tamron lens with one of the above listed cameras, please do not hesitate to call Tamron to verify that the lens you own or are intending to purchase is one with the Built-In Motor for Nikon.
