35-100mm f/2.8: zoom range bringing out the beauty of your subject

The Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) was developed to address the demand for a more compact alternative to the 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058) - this lens, launched in 2021, earned a strong reputation as a high-end portrait zoom, with its 35-150mm focal length range widely appreciated for its versatility. The new compact 35-100mm f/2.8 focuses on popular portrait focal lengths - 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 100mm - in one lens. Covering from semi wide-angle to medium telephoto, it 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.

Lightweight and compact, ideal for travel photography
Following feedback on the 35-150mm f/2-2.8, the 35-100mm f/2.8 was designed with portability as the top priority. Measuring just 121.5mm in length and weighing 575g, it achieves exceptional compactness. This was achieved through a multifaceted approach: optimizing the switch section and internal structure, refining component shapes and carefully reviewing the optical design, all while ensuring high rigidity. While maintaining its unique focal length of 35-100mm and the bright constant aperture f/2.8, it combines portability with reliability. It’s perfect for everything from candid portraits to travel snapshots. 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 f/2.8 achieves clear and 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 f/2.8 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 f/2.8 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 and pets. Additionally, its quiet operation is ideal for both stills and video in noise-sensitive environments.

Close-Up creativity - ideal for indoor photography
With an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.22m at the wide end (maximum magnification ratio 1:3.3), this lens allows you to get close to your subject. Ideal for tabletop photography in cafes and indoor spaces, it transforms everyday scenes into artistic images, enhanced by the f/2.8 aperture's bokeh.

Compatible with Tamron Lens Utility Application
The 35-100mm f/F2.8 is compatible with Tamron Lens Utility, the dedicated application available in Mobile (iOS and Android OS) and PC4 version. Without needing special video or photo equipment, users can assign practical functions to the lens, enhancing the shooting experience. Firmware updates are available via the PC version.

Comfortable ergonomic design for ease of use
Tamron’s engineers refined every structural detail to enhance usability and ergonomics. The lens exterior has a glossy black finish with improved abrasion resistance to reduce scratches and fingerprints. The material on the zoom and focus rings are also updated to offer better grip performance with deeper grooves, while the smoothly curved glossy brand ring presents a dignified, high-quality look. The 35-100mm f/F2.8 is designed with meticulous attention to ring operability to ensure comfortable everyday shooting. Improvements in the internal structure and increased precision in the ring mechanism achieve consistently smooth and uniform movement. Carefully selected friction materials deliver natural torque for intuitive focus and zoom control.

Unified 67mm filter size
Most Tamron mirrorless lenses feature a 67mm filter size, allowing shared use of expensive PL or ND filters and eliminating the hassle of switching lens caps. All lenses are compact, lightweight and extremely portable, ideal for multi-lens shooting.

- Hybrid AF

- M/A Mode: Autofocus with a manual override. You can manually change focus without having to change to manual.
