Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD Lens (Nikon Z)

Description

From expansive scenery to magnificent cityscapes—you can capture it all. Tamron created a fast-aperture zoom lens ideal for the creation of art while traveling to take photos. The Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD Lens is a high-resolution travel zoom lens that covers everything from the 35mm wide-angle to the 150mm telephoto focal length, the first zoom lens achieving an aperture of F2 at the wide-angle end for full-frame mirrorless cameras.

​This versatile all-in-one zoom enables photography of beautiful natural scenery, urban landscapes, impressive buildings, restaurant interiors, city night views, and more while traveling, without having to change lenses—or changing your distance from the subject when composing. It has a groundbreaking fast aperture and utilizes the linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), thereby achieving high speed, and high precision autofocusing.

​The innovative lens design enabled us to greatly improve the lens’s grip and functionality and includes a Connector Port on the lens barrel. The port enables users to apply the TAMRON Lens Utility™, developed in-house, to easily customize functions and to update the firmware. The 35-150mm F2-2.8 allows photographers to shoot at the common focal lengths frequently used when creating art while traveling, from the wide-angle to normal, semi-telephoto, and telephoto—and anything in between. This empowers you to clearly capture the scenes as you envision them with its overwhelming resolving power and amazing flexibility.

Create beautiful, soft bokeh with the large, best-in-class F2-2.8 aperture

The 35-150mm F2-2.8 features an optimal combination of four LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements that subdue aberrations and three extraordinary GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements. Together they assure high optical performance that enhances your ability to capture all the incredible scenery you encounter while traveling. TAMRON has achieved a maximum aperture of F2 at the wide-angle end and F2.8 at the telephoto end, enabling you to achieve beautiful, soft bokeh across the entire zoom range. The lens also makes it possible to capture subjects clearly in more situations. The lens’s fast maximum aperture helps you control camera movement by permitting a higher shutter speed, or when trying to reduce noise by choosing a low ISO. Even when used with the latest mirrorless cameras that require high-resolution performance, images are sharp edge-to-edge and from centre to every corner, across the entire frame of the photo.

Capture sharp, crisp images with high speed and high precision autofocus

The autofocus drive employs the VXD linear motor focus mechanism. You can easily achieve focus from the MOD (Minimum Object Distance) to infinity, even at the maximum F2 aperture, thanks to the speed and precision of this highly accurate autofocus system. Focus tracking is also extremely precise so you can capture sudden movements by your subject. The linear motor also suppresses drive noise and vibrations during focusing, making it ideal for shooting both still photos and video in environments that demand quietness.

Achieve stellar close-up photos

The new 35-150mm F2-2.8 boasts the ability to take closeup photographs extremely close to the subject. At the 35mm wide-angle end, the MOD is 0.33m (13 in), achieving a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5.7. To further accentuate the subject and separate it visually from its surroundings you can create a greatly blurred background using the large F2-2.8 maximum aperture. You can also take unique and impressive photos, including overhead shots of food and close-ups of parts of small objects, flowers, or other subject details.
