Tamron unveils its latest high-end standard zoom lens for portrait photographers—the full-frame 35–100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD, designed for Nikon and Sony mirrorless systems.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — B&H is pleased to share the new Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lens, a lighter, compact alternative to their highly acclaimed 35-150mm f/2-2.8 lens. This fast zoom is compact and designed with portrait photographers in mind, featuring an optimal range of focal lengths for the genre paired with a powerful, wide maximum aperture.
The 35-100mm lens focuses on the most popular focal lengths for portraiture—35mm, 50mm, and 85mm—in one lens. Where this lens sets itself apart from the older 35-150mm lens is its size. At just 4.7” long and 19.9 oz, Tamron 35-100mm /f2.8 lens is a remarkably portable option for the traveling photographer or those just looking to keep their kit lightweight.
