Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens (Sony E)
All-in-One Everyday Zoom
Covering one of the most popular portrait and short telephoto ranges, the Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD is a versatile zoom designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Spanning wide-to-telephoto focal lengths while maintaining a constant f/2.8 aperture, this lens makes it easy to create subject separation with smooth, flattering background blur.
Blending high resolution with rich bokeh rendering, it’s an ideal choice for portraits, travel, events, and everyday photography—all in a compact, highly portable form.
Fast & Quiet VXD Autofocus
Equipped with Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor, the 35-100mm delivers rapid, precise, and ultra-quiet autofocus performance suited to both stills and video. Unlike traditional gear-driven systems, the VXD mechanism uses electromagnetic motion for smooth and responsive focusing throughout the zoom range.
Compatibility with Tamron Lens Utility allows users to customize focus behavior, including switching between linear and non-linear manual focus response for a more personalized shooting experience.
Compact, Lightweight Handling
Weighing just over 1 lb and measuring approximately 4.7″ in length, this lens balances professional optical performance with everyday portability. Its contoured barrel design provides a comfortable grip and natural handling, making it well suited for travel and extended handheld shooting.
A zoom lock switch prevents unwanted barrel extension during transport.
Advanced Optical Design
The lens features 15 elements in 13 groups, including molded glass aspherical, XLD, and LD elements to minimize aberrations and maintain clarity across the frame. Tamron’s BBAR-G2 coating helps suppress flare and ghosting while enhancing contrast—even in challenging backlit situations.
A 9-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth, rounded bokeh highlights that complement portrait subjects and help isolate your focal point.
Minimum focusing distance is just 8.7″ at the wide end, allowing for dynamic close-up compositions.
Built for Real-World Use
Designed for dependable outdoor shooting, the lens incorporates moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine coating on the front element to repel water, oil, and dust. A 67mm filter thread ensures broad compatibility with filters and front accessories.
Additional highlights include:
- Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture
- 35-100mm versatile focal range
