Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens (Sony E)

All-In-One Zoom

Establishing itself as a go-to everyday zoom, the 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens from Tamron not only covers the most popular portrait focal lengths, but it effortlessly maintains a bright f/2.8 aperture for creating separation between your subject and its background. Designed for Sony E-mount cameras, this lens offers high-resolution and rich bokeh rendering, making it ideal for creating sharp, flattering portraits. It employs a quiet VXD linear motor to ensure quick and precise autofocusing.

High-Speed VXD Autofocus

Tamron utilizes a VXD linear autofocus motor to allow the 35-100mm f/2.8 to deliver rapid and ultraquiet focus performance that benefits both photo and video capturing.

Throughout the entire zoom range, focusing is very responsive because VXD uses electromagnetic motion, unlike traditional gear-driven systems.

Tamron Lens Utility lets users customize autofocus behavior, such as selecting between linear or nonlinear focus ring control.

Lightweight Design, Comfortable Handling

The 35-100mm f/2.8's impressive optical design won't slow you down. Weighing slightly more than 1 lb and measuring 4.7", this lens provides the zoom range and portability needed for travel photography. Its contoured profile makes it easier to grip and allows a more natural fit in your hand while capturing.

Optical Construction

The 35-100mm f/2.8 incorporates molded glass aspherical, XLD, and LD elements to optimize image quality and reduce aberrations. The comprehensive optical design features 15 elements in 13 groups.

A 9-blade diaphragm helps produce a smooth-edged bokeh in background highlights, which complements your portrait subjects and helps draw attention to your focal point.
