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 Nikon Z-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 4.8", 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

Never One for Third Party Lenses. This one proved me wrong.

I've been in the business of photography for over 45 years. I was never one to go out and buy third party glass. Well, the times have changed.. At least for me. The 35-100mm shines on the Z6III, but blew me away on the Z50II. I have 1.8 S primes and left them home during a 3 day shoot. Almost 90 percent of the images were the 35-100 combined with the Z50II. I was afraid jumping up to 2.8 from 1.8 in low light would raise the ISO of a crop, but it worked! Clients were elated with the images and I was able to leave a 35-50-85mm combo home. Having one body and changes primes in a dusty outdoor environment just was what I wanted to deal with. Paired this with the Nikon Badged 17-28mm, I have an effective focal length of around 25mm-150mm 2.8. Out of the box the mechanics and quality of the lens amazed me. I catch myself on this site as well as Tamron's looking at other lenses!
