The Beauty of F/2.8, in the Palm of Your Hand – TAMRON 35–100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078), For Sony E-mount and Nikon Z mount full-frame mirrorless cameras
Tamron just announced the launch of the 35–100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078), a fast-aperture standard zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount and Nikon Z mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. The lens will be available from March 26, 2026.
Building on the success of the acclaimed 35–150mm F/2–2.8 Di III VXD, this new 35–100mm F/2.8 responds directly to photographers seeking a more compact, lightweight option without sacrificing image quality or creative flexibility. By focusing on the most widely used focal lengths for portraits and everyday shooting, the 35–100mm F/2.8 delivers exceptional performance in a remarkably portable form.https://tamron.com.au/
Measuring just 119.2mm in length and weighing 565g (Sony E-mount), this lens fits comfortably in the hand while maintaining a constant F/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range. High-resolution optics combined with smooth, pleasing bokeh make it well suited to portraits, travel, and lifestyle photography. Fast, accurate autofocus is driven by Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor, ensuring reliable subject tracking and precise focus, even when capturing fleeting expressions.
With a close minimum object distance of 0.22m at the wide end, the lens also supports creative close-up work, from tabletop scenes to environmental details. Compatibility with TAMRON Lens Utility™ allows users to customise functions for both stills and video, adding flexibility to modern hybrid workflows.
