Overview
The Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens (Nikon Z) is a bright standard zoom designed for full-frame Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. Covering popular portrait and everyday focal lengths, it maintains a constant f/2.8 aperture for consistent exposure and beautiful subject separation throughout the zoom range.
Combining high-resolution optics with smooth bokeh rendering, this versatile lens is well suited for portraits, travel, events, and general photography. Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry, while the VXD linear motor delivers fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus performance.
Core Features
- Constant f/2.8 aperture provides consistent brightness and depth-of-field control across the 35-100mm zoom range.
- VXD linear motor ensures rapid, precise, and ultra-quiet autofocus for both stills and video.
- Advanced optical construction with 15 elements in 13 groups minimizes aberrations and enhances clarity.
- Moisture-resistant construction with fluorine coating protects against dust, moisture, and fingerprints.
- 67 mm filter thread supports a wide range of front-mounted accessories.
Optical Performance
The lens incorporates molded glass aspherical, XLD, and LD elements to suppress chromatic aberrations and distortion. A 9-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth, pleasing bokeh that enhances portrait and subject-focused imagery. BBAR-G2 coating reduces flare and ghosting while improving contrast and color fidelity, even in backlit conditions.
Autofocus & Control
Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor uses electromagnetic motion for highly responsive and near-silent focusing. The lens is compatible with Tamron Lens Utility, allowing customization of autofocus behavior and focus ring response. A zoom lock switch prevents unwanted barrel extension during transport.
