Tamron 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD for Sony-E

The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), launched in 2021, has earned strong praise as a high-end portrait zoom.

Developed in response to user demand, the 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) focuses on the most essential portrait focal lengths.

Lens Utility allows users to assign functions for video and stills, while the refined design ensures comfortable handling for everyday and special moments.
