Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Overview

An All-in-One Zoom

Establishing itself as an ideal zoom lens for daily use, Tamron’s 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD not only covers the most popular focal lengths for portraits but also effortlessly maintains a bright constant f/2.8 aperture to create separation between the subject and the background. Designed for Sony E-mount cameras, this lens delivers high resolution and rich bokeh rendering, making it perfect for creating sharp, flattering portraits. It utilizes a silent VXD linear motor to ensure fast and precise autofocus.

High-Speed VXD Autofocus

Tamron uses a VXD linear autofocus motor to allow the 35-100mm f/2.8 to provide fast and ultra-quiet focusing performance that benefits both photo and video capture. Throughout the entire zoom range, focusing is highly responsive because the VXD system uses electromagnetic movement, unlike traditional gear-driven systems. The Tamron Lens Utility app allows users to customize autofocus behavior, such as selecting between linear or non-linear focus ring control.

Lightweight Design and Comfortable Handling

The impressive optical design of the 35-100mm f/2.8 won’t weigh you down. Weighing just over 450 grams and measuring 12 cm in length, this lens provides the zoom range and portability needed for travel photography. Its contoured profile makes it easier to grip and allows for a more natural feel in the hand while shooting.

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 smooth-edged bokeh in background highlights, which complements your portrait subjects and helps direct attention to the point of focus.
