The Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058) is a zoom lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. It covers wide-angle at 35mm through telephoto at 150mm, including 50mm, 85mm, 100mm and 135mm. It is the first zoom lens for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras with a maximum aperture of F2.
The maximum aperture is F2 at 35mm and F2.8 at the long end. The wide aperture allows faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings, and produces soft background blur even at the wide end. The optical design uses four LD (Low Dispersion) elements and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) elements. It is built to keep image quality high to the edges of the frame with high-resolution cameras and to reduce onion ring bokeh.
Autofocus is driven by the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor. It focuses quickly, precisely and quietly, from the minimum object distance to infinity, and tracks moving subjects. This suits both stills and video. At 35mm the minimum object distance is 0.33m (13 in), with a maximum magnification of 1:5.7.
