Overwhelmingly Lightweight and Compact it Fits Right in the Palm of Your Hand - Ideal for Travel Photography

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: optimising 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 minimised barrel extension stabilises the centre 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 minimises 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 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.
