Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD

35-100mm Zoom Range ― Bringing Out The Beauty Of Your Subject: The 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD focuses on popular portrait focal lengths — 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 100mm — in one lens. Covering from semi wide-angle to medium telephoto, the lens offers the flexibility to shoot everything from wide compositions that make use of the background to head-and-shoulders portraits that capture the subject’s expression.

An Overwhelmingly Lightweight And Compact Lens That Fits Right In The Palm Of Your Hand― Ideal For Travel Photography: Following feedback on the 35-150mm F2-2.8, the 35-100mm F2.8 was designed with portability as the top priority. Measuring just 119.2mm (4.7”) long and weighing 565 grams (19.9oz), it achieves exceptional compactness. This was accomplished through a multifaceted approach: optimizing the switch section and internal structure, refining component shapes, carefully reviewing the optical design, all while ensuring high rigidity. With its unique focal length of 35-100mm and the bright constant aperture F2.8, the 35-100mm F2.8 lens combines portability with reliability making it perfect for everything from candid portraits to travel snapshots. Additionally, the minimized barrel extension stabilizes the centre of gravity during zooming, ensuring steady operation for handheld shooting and gimbal-mounted video work.

High Resolution And Rich Bokeh — Rendering Skin Texture With Clarity: Despite its compact size, the 35-100mm F2.8 achieves clear, detailed images. The optical design, with 15 elements in 13 groups, includes one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), two LD (Low Dispersion), and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements. These suppress various aberrations, including chromatic aberration, delivering high resolving power throughout the zoom range. Furthermore, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating minimizes ghosting and flare even in backlit conditions. Combined with the soft bokeh from the F2.8 aperture, this lens renders portraits and travel scenes with stunning clarity.

High-Speed, High-Precision AF To Reliably Capture Natural Expressions: Equipped with TAMRON’s fastest, most precise VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, the 35-100mm F2.8 captures natural expressions with ease, whether for candid family portraits or travel snapshots. Its excellent tracking performance is suitable even for the unpredictable movements of children. Additionally, its quiet operation is ideal for both stills and video in noise-sensitive environments.

Close-Up Creativity — Ideal For Nature And Indoor Photography: With an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.22m (8.7”) at the wide end (maximum magnification ratio 1:3.3), this lens allows you to get close to your subject. Ideal for nature close-ups as well as tabletop photography in cafes and indoor spaces, it transforms everyday scenes into artistic images, enhanced by the F2.8 aperture’s bokeh.
