Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di Overview

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.

Additional Highlights
  • Compatibility with Tamron Lens Utility for wirelessly controlling lens functions with your smart device via Bluetooth
  • 67mm filter thread for wide compatibility with front lens accessories
  • Moisture-resistant construction with a fluorine coating on the front lens element for repelling liquids and keeping the lens safe from unpredictable outdoor conditions
  • Waterproof USB-C connector port
  • BBAR-G2 coating to reduce the impact of flare and ghosting while also enhancing contrast and clarity, even under backlit conditions
  • Glossy black exterior with improved abrasion resistance
  • Resists scratches and fingerprints
  • Minimum object distance of 8.7" at the wide end for focusing up close to your subjects

Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di Reviews

Excellent high performance modern lens

By James
Rated 5 out of 5

I wanted a zoom faster than the excellent Sony 20-70 f4 along with switching out to fast primes: This 35mm-100mm range is where I most often shoot and need a wider aperture: f2.8 will do if the quality is there. I am delighted that this lens gives excellent sharpness, resolution and contrast across the entire field of view wide open at F2.8 at all focal lengths to a 61MP sensor. (There would be no point for me to get an f2.8 lens if I had to stop it down for optical performance rather than depth of field). The bokeh is also excellent in almost every circumstance (tested this extensively). I’ve numerous lenses: This lens usually stays mounted for an entire shoot, and it’s my go to unless I am working wider, longer or for some other application specific requirement. The modest size and excellent AF performance are also noteworthy.
