This Tamron Announcement is Kinda Weird. But it Makes Sense

Tamron is sincerely one of the lens makers that I personally love the most. They're partially owned by Sony and they constantly show the world that good lenses don't need to be insanely pricey. And sometimes they do some really weird things that I don't understand. Today, they're announcing the new Tamron 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD. I really didn't understand why - and then I looked in my bag of Nikon camera gear and it suddenly made sense.
