Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E-Mount
High-Speed Extended Portrait & Travel Zoom – World’s First f/2-2.8 Fast Aperture Range for Full-Frame Mirrorless, 35-150mm Wide-to-Medium Telephoto Span, VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) Linear Motor AF System, Integrated USB-C Connector Port for Tamron Lens Utility Software Customization, Moisture-Resistant Construction with Fluorine Front Coating, Ergonomic Barrel Grip Design, Standard 82mm Filter Thread, Includes Front & Rear Caps and Dedicated Lens Hood (Excellent Condition)

The Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058) is a pioneering, high-speed all-in-one zoom lens engineered for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras (also compatible with APS-C bodies, providing a 52.5-225mm equivalent field of view). Redefining the standard travel and event zoom, it pairs a flexible focal range covering moderate wide-angle to medium-telephoto reach with an unprecedented f/2 to f/2.8 variable maximum aperture. This design enables travel photographers, wedding documentarians, portrait artists, and event videographers to shoot in low ambient light without swapping prime lenses.

Autofocus is driven by Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor mechanism, delivering rapid, pinpoint, and virtually silent autofocus performance optimized for fast-action burst shooting and continuous video tracking. Built with hybrid workflows in mind, the barrel features an integrated USB-C connector port that links directly to the Tamron Lens Utility software on a computer or Android device, allowing users to customize focus preset buttons, switch between focus and aperture ring functions, fine-tune focus ring rotation, and update firmware directly. The sculpted, ergonomic exterior features a moisture-resistant construction with internal weather seals, a protective fluorine front coating to repel water and oils, and a standard 82mm filter thread.
