PRESS RELEASE
February 19, 2026 – Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Shogo Sakuraba; Headquarters: Saitama City, Japan; “TAMRON”), a leading manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces the launch of the 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078), a fast-aperture standard zoom lens, compatible with Sony E-mount and Nikon Z mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, on March 26, 2026.
The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), launched in 2021, has earned strong praise as a high-end portrait zoom. While highly acclaimed for its imaging performance, some users have wished for a lighter, more compact option. Developed in response to user demand, the 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) focuses on the most essential portrait focal lengths. Despite its fast F2.8 aperture, it achieves a remarkably compact and lightweight design at just 119.2mm (4.7in) and 565g (19.9oz).1 Delivering high image quality and soft bokeh, it’s perfect for candid portraits and travel photography. The VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism provides fast, precise AF to capture natural expressions, and the 0.22m (8.7in) MOD (Minimum Object Distance) at the wide end is ideal for tabletop shots. TAMRON Lens Utility™ allows users to assign functions for video and stills, while the refined design ensures comfortable handling for everyday and special moments.
Price: $899 USD (E-mount), $929 USD (Z-mount)
