Tamron has been awarded two EISA Awards for 2026-2027, extending a run of recognition from the Expert Imaging and Sound Association that now stretches back 21 consecutive years.
The Japanese optics manufacturer picked up EISA Wide Angle Zoom Lens 2026-2027 for the 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064), and EISA Standard Zoom Lens 2026-2027 for the 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078). It's the 28th EISA Award in Tamron's history, and the second year running that the brand has taken two categories in a single cycle.
For photographers and content creators in South Africa weighing up a fast zoom, the two winners are worth a closer look — they sit at opposite ends of the everyday shooting range and, between them, cover most of what a working kit needs.

The A064 is the second-generation successor in Tamron's ultra wide-angle line, and the jury singled out the balance it strikes between reach and size.
