Tamron 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD for Nikon Z Mount (Model A078Z)
[Covers a 35-100mm focal length that brings out the appeal of people] Focal lengths (35 mm, 50 mm, 85 mm, 100 mm), which are particularly in demand for portrait photography, have been condensed into this one. It covers everything from semi-wide angle to medium telephoto, and you can shoot flexibly from wide compositions that make use of the background to bust-up shots that capture people's facial expressions.
[A “pocket lens” with an overwhelmingly lightweight and compact design that is useful for snaps and travel] The 35-100mm F2.8 thoroughly pursues portability. We have achieved an overwhelmingly lightweight and compact design with a length of 121.5 mm and a mass of 575 g. At the same time, high rigidity is ensured through a multifaceted approach, such as optimizing the switch section and internal structure, devising component shapes, and examining optical systems. While maintaining a focal length of “35-100mm F2.8” and brightness, it is both easy to carry around and a sense of security. This one is truly a “pocket lens,” and you can easily enjoy everything from portraits to snapshots while traveling. Furthermore, since the design minimizes changes in the total length of the lens barrel, there is little movement of the center of gravity during zooming, so stable operation is possible even for handheld shooting or video shooting using a gimbal.
[High depiction performance and rich bokeh expression across the entire zoom range] The 35-100mm F2.8 is both compact and has excellent depiction performance. One XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens, 2 LD (Low Dispersion: Abnormal Low Dispersion) lenses, and 3 GM (glass mold aspherical) lenses are effectively arranged on the 15-element lens in 13 groups. Various aberrations, including chromatic aberrations, are suppressed, and high resolution performance is demonstrated throughout the zoom range. Also, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) coating reduces ghosting and flare even under backlight. With the soft blur and high depiction power created by the large aperture of F2.8, it clearly and impressively depicts casual portraits and travel scenes.
[High-speed, high-accuracy AF that reliably captures accidental expressions] The AF drive is equipped with a VXD (Voice-coil Extreme-Torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil Extreme-Torque Drive), which is the highest level in Tamron history. It definitely captures the subject's casual expressions while traveling. It also has high motion tracking, and is compatible with children's movements that are difficult to predict. Furthermore, since it has excellent quietness, it is also suitable for shooting still images and videos in environments where silence is required.
[Expanded expressiveness through close-up photography] The shortest shooting distance is 0.22m at the wide-angle end (maximum shooting ratio 1:3.3). Since it is much closer to the subject, it is suitable for table photos at cafes, etc. Also, by utilizing the blur created by the brightness of the large aperture of F2.8, familiar scenes can be finished into impressive works.
[Compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility (TM), which supports video and photo shooting] It is possible to assign practical functions for shooting videos and photos to the lens without preparing image-related devices that were previously necessary.
[Lens design that takes convenience and operability into consideration] Each part that makes up the lens has been reviewed in detail, and the design takes operability and texture into consideration. The exterior of the lens uses glossy black paint with a high degree of gloss. Scratches are less likely to stick due to improved scratch resistance, and fingerprints are less noticeable. The grip performance of ring rubber has also been improved. Every detail, such as a brand ring that creates an elegant presence, is designed in pursuit of functional beauty.
[Special Torque Sense for Comfortable Shooting] The 35-100mm F2.8 is particular about the feel and accuracy of ring operation so that you can comfortably enjoy everyday shooting. By improving the internal structure and improving the accuracy of the ring mechanism, smooth and uniform movement is always achieved. Furthermore, by devising friction materials, a light and natural sense of torque is created, and focusing and zooming can be controlled as desired.

The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058) released in 2021 has received high praise as an authentic portrait zoom. While its excellent depiction performance was supported, there were also voices saying “a little lighter and more compact.” The 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) was created to respond to such voices. By narrowing it down to a focal length that is particularly in high demand for portrait photography, we have achieved an overwhelmingly lightweight and compact design with a length of 121.5 mm and a mass of 575 while having a large aperture of F2.8. It combines high depiction performance across the entire zoom range with soft blur, and can be used for a wide range of purposes, from portraits to snapshots while traveling. Furthermore, high-speed, high-precision AF with the linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil Extreme-Torque Drive) reliably captures the subject's natural expression. Also, the shortest shooting distance of 0.22m at the wide-angle end is also suitable for table photos. Furthermore, various functions useful for shooting videos and photographs can be assigned to the lens with the dedicated software TAMRON Lens Utility. Equipped with a sophisticated design and comfortable operability, this is one that you can easily enjoy from everyday life to special occasions.
