TAMRON 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) for Sony E
EISA Standard Zoom Lens 2026–2027 Winner
The TAMRON 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD Model A078S has been recognised by EISA for its versatile zoom range, fast F/2.8 aperture, compact design and high optical performance.
The Beauty of F2.8, Now in Your Hand
A Compact Portrait Zoom Designed Around the Focal Lengths You Use Most
Building on the success of the 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), Tamron introduces a more compact and focused alternative — the
35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD - Model A078.
This lens concentrates on the most frequently used portrait focal lengths:
35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 100mm, combining them into one streamlined zoom.
Covering semi wide-angle to medium telephoto, it supports environmental portraits as well as tighter head-and-shoulders compositions that emphasise expression and detail.
Developed with portability as a priority, the 35-100mm F/2.8 measures just
119.2mm in length and weighs approximately
565g (Sony E-mount).Structural optimisation, refined internal components and careful optical engineering allow this lens to maintain a
constant F/2.8 aperture while remaining compact and durable.Minimal barrel extension during zooming helps stabilise balance, making it suitable for handheld shooting and gimbal-mounted video work.

High Resolution with Natural, Pleasing Bokeh
- 1 XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) element
- 2 LD (Low Dispersion) elements
- 3 GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) elements
These specialised elements reduce chromatic aberration and optical distortion, delivering strong resolving performance throughout the zoom range.
Tamron’s BBAR-G2 coating suppresses flare and ghosting in backlit conditions.
Combined with the bright F/2.8 aperture, the lens produces smooth background separation and clean subject detail.
Fast and Precise Autofocus with VXD Linear Motor
Equipped with Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor,
the lens delivers high-speed, high-accuracy autofocus.
It captures candid portraits, moving subjects, children and pets with reliable tracking performance.
Quiet operation also makes it suitable for both photography and video recording.
Close-Up Capability for Indoor and Creative Photography
With a Minimum Object Distance of 0.22m at the wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.3, the lens supports expressive close-up compositions.
Ideal for café scenes, tabletop photography and indoor environments, the F/2.8 aperture enhances depth and subject separation.
Compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility™
The 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD is compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility™ for PC and mobile (iOS and Android).
Users can customise lens functions to match their shooting style. Firmware updates are supported via the PC version of the application. Connection accessories are required and sold separately.
Refined Ergonomic Design
The lens exterior features a glossy black finish with enhanced abrasion resistance to reduce fingerprints and surface marks.
Updated zoom and focus rings incorporate deeper grooves for improved grip, while the signature brand ring presents a clean and premium appearance.
Smooth and Consistent Ring Operation
Improved internal mechanisms ensure uniform zoom and focus movement. Carefully selected friction materials provide natural torque for intuitive manual control.
