Bringing Out the Beauty of Your Subject

The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), introduced in 2021, quickly garnered acclaim as a premier portrait zoom lens, celebrated for its exceptional image quality and advanced features. Its expansive 35-150mm focal range provided remarkable versatility, yet some photographers expressed a desire for a more compact alternative. To meet this need, the 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) was designed, focusing on the most frequently used portrait focal lengths — 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm. Ranging from semi wide-angle to medium telephoto, this lens allows photographers to seamlessly capture everything from expansive compositions that highlight the scene’s context to intimate head-and-shoulders portraits, brimming with emotional expression.

Ideal for Travel Photography

Building on the insights gained from the 35-150mm F2-2.8, the 35-100mm F2.8 was meticulously crafted with portability as the foremost priority. With a sleek length of only 119.2mm (4.7in) and a lightweight design at 565g (19.9oz), it exemplifies unparalleled compactness. This remarkable achievement stems from a comprehensive design strategy that included optimizing the switch section and internal structure, refining component shapes, and carefully re-evaluating the optical design—all while upholding robust durability. Retaining its distinctive 35-100mm focal length and bright constant aperture of F2.8, this lens masterfully balances portability with performance. Ideal for a variety of uses, from intimate portraits to spontaneous travel photography, it promises both versatility and reliability. Furthermore, the minimized barrel extension ensures a stable center of gravity during zooming, facilitating seamless operation for handheld shooting and smooth gimbal-mounted video capture.

High Resolution and Rich Bokeh

Although compact in size, the 35-100mm F2.8 lens delivers remarkable clarity and intricate detail in every shot. Its advanced optical design, comprising 15 elements in 13 groups, features one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), two LD (Low Dispersion), and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements. This sophisticated arrangement effectively reduces various aberrations, including chromatic aberration, ensuring exceptional resolving power across the entire zoom range. Additionally, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating significantly diminishes ghosting and flare, even in challenging backlit situations. Paired with the dreamy, soft bokeh produced by the F2.8 aperture, this lens effortlessly captures portraits and travel scenes with breathtaking clarity and artistic finesse.

High-Speed, High-Precision AF

Featuring TAMRON’s advanced VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, the 35-100mm F2.8 lens delivers unparalleled speed and precision. Effortlessly capturing natural expressions, it excels in scenarios ranging from candid family portraits to dynamic travel photography. Its outstanding tracking performance makes it perfect for capturing the unpredictable movements of children and pets, while the near-silent operation ensures it is ideally suited for both still photography and video recording in noise-sensitive settings.

Close-Up Creativity

With a Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 0.22m (8.7 inches) at the wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.3, this lens brings you remarkably close to your subject. Perfect for capturing the charm of tabletop photography in cozy cafes or indoor settings, it turns ordinary moments into striking works of art, further enriched by the smooth, dreamy bokeh of its F2.8 aperture.
