Fujigraphy
Tamron's Model B091 is a constant F2.8 standard zoom for APS-C. On Fujifilm X it covers the same range as a 24-75mm on full frame, and it weighs 305g. That makes it a one-lens kit for most days: wide enough for a room or a street, long enough for a portrait.
The X version comes last. Sony E and Canon RF were dated 29 October 2026, Nikon Z 19 November 2026 and Fujifilm X 17 December 2026.

Launch date and price
Tamron announced it on 14 October 2026. The Fujifilm X version is dated 17 December 2026. Tamron Japan lists it at ¥116,600 including tax, and the US price is reported as $529. A euro or pound price for the X version is not yet announced.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants one light zoom for travel, family and everyday shooting, and a brighter option than a kit lens. With no stabilisation listed, a body with its own stabilisation is worth having for low light.
Cameras it pairs well with
All four of these have in-body stabilisation, which matters here because Tamron lists none on the lens. The X-T50 and X-E5 keep the kit small, the X-S20 has the deepest grip, and the X-T5 adds dedicated dials.
Recipe pairings
A standard zoom goes everywhere, so these three cover most days: everyday colour, grey weather and black and white.
Tagged for everyday, travel and portraits: the set-and-forget choice for a one-lens kit.
Open WindowTagged for travel and documentary: a film-still look for flat light, and it works well with people in the frame.
Grey MatineeTagged for everyday and street: soft black and white for rain, mist and wet pavements.
