Tamron

35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD

The Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD is one of the most remarkable zoom lenses ever made — starting at f/2 at 35mm and maintaining f/2.8 to 150mm, covering wide-angle to short telephoto in a single lens. For portrait, wedding, and event photographers who want to minimise lens changes, its range is almost unmatched. VXD linear motor AF is fast and quiet throughout.
