The 35–150mm F/2–2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), launched in 2021, has received widespread acclaim as a premium portrait zoom lens. While it is widely recognized for its imaging performance, some users have been looking for a lighter and more compact option.
Developed in response to this 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 — all combined in a single lens. Despite its fast constant F2.8 aperture, it features a remarkably compact and lightweight design, measuring just 4.7 in (119.2 mm) in length and weighing only 19.9 oz (565 g).
Delivering high image quality and soft, pleasing bokeh, it is ideal for spontaneous portraits and travel photography. The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor ensures fast and precise autofocus to capture natural expressions, while the minimum focusing distance of 8.7 in (0.22 m) at the wide end is perfect for tabletop photography.
TAMRON Lens Utility™ allows users to assign custom functions for both still photography and video, and the refined design ensures comfortable handling for everyday use as well as special occasions. The lens is compatible with TLU version 5.0 as well as the new TAMRON-LINK Bluetooth adapter for wireless connectivity.
