35-100mm Zoom Range ― Bringing Out the Beauty of Your Subject
The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), launched in 2021, has earned a strong reputation as a high-end portrait zoom. Its 35-150mm focal length range was widely appreciated for its versatility, though some users sought a more compact alternative. The 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) was developed to address this demand, focusing on popular portrait focal lengths – 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 100mm – into one lens. Covering from semi wide-angle to medium telephoto, it offers the flexibility to shoot everything from wide compositions that make use of the background to head-and-shoulders portraits that capture the subject’s expression.
Features and Functions
An Overwhelmingly Lightweight and Compact that Fits Right in the Palm of Your Hand ― Ideal for Travel Photography
Following feedback on the 35-150mm F2-2.8, the 35-100mm F2.8 was designed with portability as the top priority. Measuring just 119.2mm in length and weighing 565g, it achieves exceptional compactness. This was achieved through a multifaceted approach: optimizing the switch section and internal structure, refining component shapes, carefully reviewing the optical design, all while ensuring high rigidity. While maintaining its unique focal length of 35-100mm and the bright constant aperture F2.8, it combines portability with reliability. Thus, it’s perfect for everything from candid portraits to travel snapshots. Additionally, the minimized barrel extension stabilizes the center of gravity during zooming, ensuring steady operation for handheld shooting and gimbal-mounted video work.
High Resolution and Rich Bokeh – Rendering Skin Texture with Clarity
Despite its compact size, the 35-100mm F2.8 achieves clear and detailed images. The optical design, with 15 elements in 13 groups, includes one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), two LD (Low Dispersion), and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements. These suppress various aberrations, including chromatic aberration, delivering high resolving power throughout the zoom range. Furthermore, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating minimizes ghosting and flare even in backlit conditions. Combined with the soft bokeh from the F2.8 aperture, this lens renders portraits and travel scenes with stunning clarity.
High-Speed, High-Precision AF to Reliably Capture Natural Expressions
Equipped with TAMRON’s fastest, most precise VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, the 35-100mm F2.8 captures natural expressions with ease, whether for candid family portraits or travel snapshots. Its excellent tracking performance is suitable even for the unpredictable movements of children/pets. Additionally, its quiet operation is ideal for both stills and video in noise-sensitive environments.
Close-Up Creativity ― Ideal for Indoor Photography
With an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.22m (8.7in) at the wide end (maximum magnification ratio 1:3.3), this lens allows you to get close to your subject. Ideal for tabletop photography in cafes and indoor spaces, it transforms everyday scenes into artistic images, enhanced by the F2.8 aperture's bokeh.
Compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility™ Application
The 35-100mm F2.8 is compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility, the dedicated application available in Mobile (iOS and Android OS) and PC version. Without needing special video or photo equipment, users can assign practical functions to the lens, enhancing the shooting experience. Firmware updates are available via the PC version.
