The World's First All-In-One Zoom With An f/2 Aperture Designed For Full-Frame Mirrorless System Cameras
Portrait photographers, in particular, will appreciate the versatility of this single lens, as it encompasses all the common focal lengths used in various portrait sessions. Whether capturing full-length body shots or intimate head-and-shoulders portraits, this lens ensures that you have the right focal length at your disposal. Its exceptional resolving power and fast aperture allow for stunning subject isolation and beautiful background bokeh, adding a professional touch to every portrait.
Create beautiful, soft bokeh with the large, best-in-class f/2-2.8 aperture
The 35-150mm f/2-2.8 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 travelling. TAMRON has achieved a maximum aperture of f/2 at the wide-angle end and f/2.8 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.
A single lens that replaces all
This zoom lens covers everything from the 35mm wide-angle to 150mm telephoto, including all the commonly used focal lengths, so it’s very handy for travel because it can replace several single lenses. Seamlessly take photos without switching lenses in various situations. Change to an 85mm semi-telephoto angle of view, focus on a faraway subject at 150mm, and make full use of the 35mm and 50mm focal lengths. Change composition without changing your distance from the subject. You can use just this one lens to capture a wide range of photos while travelling, from landscapes to snapshots and portraits. Our design goal was portability and compact design while achieving a spectacular specification of f/2-2.8 with a 4.3x zoom ratio.
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 f/2 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 35-150mm f/2-2.8 boasts the ability to take closeup photographs extremely close to the subject. At the 35mm wide-angle end, the MOD is 0.33m, 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 f/2-2.8 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.
TAMRON Lens Utility expands the possibilities of still photography and video shooting
The 35-150mm f/2-2.8 zoom is compatible with the dedicated TAMRON Lens Utility software (for PC/ for devices with Android™ OS) developed in-house by TAMRON that empowers users to easily update the lens to the latest firmware without going through the camera, and also includes functions to support focusing operations and other actions when shooting still images or video. By utilising a wide range of functions, users can expand the breadth of expression in still images and video. For example, A-B Focus allows users to limit focusing to two pre-set focus points, shifting focus from one subject to another with just a click of the Focus Set Button. Users can also choose between Linear and Non-linear, which affects how the focus shifts during manual focusing.
