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

Name: 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD
Brand: Tamron
Availability: InStock

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.

GearFrame's Take

A one-of-a-kind zoom — f/2 at 35mm to f/2.8 at 150mm covers the entire portrait and event range in a single lens.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
