Tamron 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078S) for Sony E-mount

The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), released in 2021, has earned high praise as a professional-grade portrait zoom lens. While its excellent image quality is well-regarded, requests for a lighter and more compact design were also received. The 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) was created in response to these requests. By narrowing the focal length to those particularly in demand for portrait photography, it achieves an incredibly lightweight and compact design of just 119.2mm in length and 565g in weight, despite its large F2.8 aperture. It combines high descriptive performance throughout the zoom range with soft bokeh, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, from portrait photography on the go to snapshot photography. Furthermore, the high-speed, high-precision AF driven by the linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) reliably captures the natural expressions of subjects. The minimum shooting distance of 0.22m at the wide end is also suitable for tabletop photography. In addition, various functions useful for video and still photography can be assigned to the lens using the dedicated software, TAMRON Lens Utility. It features a sophisticated design and comfortable operability, making it a lens that can be enjoyed casually in everyday life and special scenes.

・【Capture the Charm of People with a 35-100mm Focal Length】 This single lens condenses the focal lengths (35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm) that are particularly in demand for portrait photography. It covers wide-angle to medium-telephoto ranges, allowing for flexible shooting from wide compositions that make the most of the background to bust-up shots that capture the expressions of people. ・【An "Pocket Lens" with an Unmatched Lightweight and Compact Design for Snaps and Travel】 The 35-100mm F2.8 is designed for ultimate portability. It achieves an incredibly lightweight and compact design of just 119.2mm in length and 565g in weight. Through multifaceted approaches such as optimizing the switch sections and internal structure, refining component shapes, and scrutinizing the optical system, it has achieved both miniaturization and lightweighting while maintaining high rigidity. It combines the focal length and brightness of “35-100mm F2.8” with ease of carrying and peace of mind. It is truly a lens worthy of being called a “pocket lens,” allowing you to enjoy portrait and snapshot photography casually on the go. Furthermore, the design minimizes changes in the lens’s center of gravity during zooming, enabling stable operation during handheld shooting and video recording with a gimbal. ・【High Descriptive Performance and Rich Bokeh Expression Throughout the Zoom Range】 The 35-100mm F2.8 is compact yet delivers excellent image quality. The lens, consisting of 15 elements in 13 groups, effectively incorporates one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens, two LD (Low Dispersion) lenses, and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lenses. This suppresses various aberrations, including chromatic aberration, and delivers high resolution throughout the zoom range. In addition, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating reduces ghosting and flare even in backlit conditions. The soft bokeh created by the large F2.8 aperture and the high descriptive power vividly and impressively capture casual portraits and landscapes. ・【High-Speed, High-Precision AF to Capture Fleeting Expressions】 The lens is equipped with VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), Tamron’s highest-level linear motor focus mechanism for fast and high-precision AF. It reliably captures fleeting expressions of subjects on the go. It also boasts excellent motion tracking, responding to the unpredictable movements of children. Furthermore, its quietness makes it suitable for still and video shooting in environments where silence is required. ・【Expanded Expression with Close-Up Photography】 The minimum shooting distance is 0.22m (maximum magnification 1:3.3) at the wide end. This allows you to get close to your subject, making it ideal for tabletop photography in cafes and other settings. The bright F2.8 aperture also creates a beautiful bokeh effect, allowing you to create impressive works from everyday scenes. ・【Compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility(TM) to Support Video and Still Photography】 You can assign practical functions for video and still photography to the lens without the need to prepare separate video-related equipment. ・【Lens Design Considering Convenience and Operability】 Every detail of the lens components has been reviewed to create a design that considers operability and texture. The exterior of the lens features a glossy black coating with enhanced gloss. Improved scratch resistance makes it less prone to scratches and fingerprints are less noticeable. The grip performance of the ring rubber has also been improved. The design pursues functional beauty in every detail, including the brand ring that exudes an elegant presence. ・【Dedicated Torque for Comfortable Shooting】 The 35-100mm F2.8 is designed for comfortable daily shooting, with attention paid to the feel and accuracy of the ring operation. Improvements to the internal structure and increased precision of the ring mechanism ensure consistently smooth and uniform movement. Furthermore, by refining the friction material, a light and natural torque is created, allowing you to control focusing and zooming as you wish. ・Model Name: A078 / Focal Length: 35-100mm / Brightness: F2.8 / Angle of View (Diagonal): 63°26' - 24°25' (when used with a 35mm full-size mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera) / Lens Construction: 15 elements in 13 groups / Minimum Shooting Distance: 0.22m (WIDE) / 0.65m (TELE) / Maximum Magnification 1:3.3 (WIDE) / 1:5.9 (TELE) / Filter Size: φ67mm / Maximum Diameter: φ80.6mm / Length: 119.2mm / Weight: 565g / Diaphragm Blades: 9 (Circular Aperture) / Minimum Aperture: F22 / Standard Accessories: Flower-shaped hood, front cap, rear cap / Compatible Mount: For Sony E-mount
