Tamron 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD Zoom Lens for Sony E-Mount (Black)

The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), launched in 2021, has earned strong praise as a high-end portrait zoom. While highly acclaimed for its imaging performance, some users have wished for a lighter, more compact option. Developed in response to user demand, the 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) focuses on the most essential and popular portrait focal lengths — 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 100mm — in one lens. Despite its fast F2.8 aperture, it achieves a remarkably compact and lightweight design at just 4.7" (119.2mm) and 19.9oz. (565g). Delivering high image quality and soft bokeh, it’s perfect for candid portraits and travel photography. The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor provides fast, precise AF to capture natural expressions, and the 8.7" (0.22m) MOD at the wide end is ideal for tabletop shots. The TAMRON Lens Utility™ allows users to assign functions for video and stills, while the refined design ensures comfortable handling for everyday and special moments. The lens is compatible with TLU Version 5.0 and new TAMRON-LINK bluetooth adapter for wireless connectivity.
