Covering classic focal lengths and maintaining a constant f/2.8 aperture, this lens delivers exceptional subject isolation, creamy bokeh, and sharp detail—perfect for portraits, travel, and lifestyle photography.

Fast, Precise, and Silent Autofocus

• Equipped with a VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor, this lens provides lightning-fast, accurate, and nearly silent AF, ideal for both stills and video.

• The electromagnetic motion of the VXD system ensures consistent focusing performance across the zoom range, surpassing traditional mechanical drive systems in responsiveness.

• Compatible with Tamron Lens Utility, allowing users to customize AF functions—including choosing between linear or non-linear focus ring control—for a tailored shooting experience.

Compact Build with Excellent Handling

• Weighing just over 1 lb (approx. 460g) and measuring 4.7 inches long, the 35-100mm f/2.8 is impressively portable for a fast zoom lens.

• Its ergonomic, contoured barrel provides a comfortable grip, making handheld shooting easier and steadier for extended sessions.

Superior Optics and Smooth Bokeh

• The lens construction includes molded glass aspherical, XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), and LD (Low Dispersion) elements to minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations while enhancing clarity and sharpness.

• With 15 elements in 13 groups and a 9-blade diaphragm, it produces soft, rounded bokeh that beautifully complements portrait subjects and highlights.
