Description — Tamron A058
The Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD is a full-frame zoom lens designed exclusively for the Sony E mount mirrorless system. It spans a 35mm to 150mm focal length range, giving photographers the flexibility to handle a variety of subjects without switching lenses. The standout specification is the f/2 maximum aperture at the wide end of the range, making this a genuinely bright zoom that supports shooting in lower light conditions and provides strong subject-background separation.
The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus, with autofocus confirmed in the specifications, making it versatile for stills and video-oriented shooters alike. The 82mm filter thread accommodates large-format filter systems, and the lens weighs in at 1,165g — substantial, but a reflection of its full-frame build and wide aperture design. Image stabilization is not included, so users should pair this lens with a camera body offering in-body stabilization where needed. For Sony E mount shooters looking for a single zoom with wide aperture coverage across a broad range, this lens presents a compelling all-in-one option.
