What's interesting to me about this announcement is that there is no version for Canon or Nikon's mirrorless lines. They both have fps-c MILC cameras that have been on the market for a few years.

Tamron has just announced the 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di III-A2 VC VXD for APS-C. This superzoom lens will be available for both Sony E mount and (for the first time) Fujifilm X mount, raising the tantalizing possibility of even more third-party X-mount lenses in the future.
Covering a zoom range equivalent to 27-450mm in full-frame terms, the optically stabilized 18-300mm uses a VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear focus motor, and "special lens elements arranged precisely to maintain high resolution performance from edge-to-edge". With a minimum focus distance of 6 inches, the 18-300mm can deliver an impressive maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.
The Tamron 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di III-A2 VC VXD is expected to be available later this year, but pricing information has yet to be released.
