Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD Lens (Nikon Z, A058)

The Tamron 35‑150mm f/2‑2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058) is a groundbreaking high‑performance all‑in‑one zoom lens designed specifically for Nikon Z‑mount full‑frame mirrorless cameras. It combines an unusually fast variable‑maximum aperture range with a versatile zoom spread that comfortably covers wide‑angle, standard, and telephoto focal lengths in a single, travel‑ready lens.

Standout Features

Fast Aperture Throughout
This lens offers a fast maximum aperture of f/2 at 35mm and f/2.8 at 150mm, making it one of the first full‑frame zooms for mirrorless systems to maintain such bright apertures across a broad focal range. The fast aperture helps in low‑light conditions, allows more creative control over depth of field, and delivers pleasing background blur (bokeh).

Wide‑to‑Telephoto Zoom Range
The 35–150mm zoom range includes all of the most commonly used shooting focal lengths — from wide landscapes and architecture at 35mm to portraits and distant detail at 85–150mm — enabling you to shoot a huge variety of subjects without changing lenses.

High‑Resolution Optics
Tamron has incorporated advanced optical elements including multiple LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) elements to control chromatic aberration and deliver sharp, detailed images across the frame.

Fast, Accurate Autofocus
Autofocus is driven by Tamron’s VXD (Voice‑coil eXtreme‑torque Drive) linear motor, offering high‑speed, high‑precision, quiet focusing. The system is ideal for both still photography and video recording.

Design and Ergonomics

Enhanced Handling
The lens features a modern design with improved grip texture on focus and zoom rings for smoother, more intuitive operation. Advanced ergonomics make it comfortable to use over long shooting sessions.

Travel‑Ready Versatility
Although it delivers professional‑level performance, the 35‑150mm A058 remains portable enough for everyday carry and travel photography — effectively replacing several prime lenses with one flexible zoom.

Weather‑Resistance and Protection
Moisture‑Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating help protect the lens from dust, moisture, and fingerprints when shooting outdoors. A Hood Locking Mechanism prevents accidental removal of the lens hood.

Customizable with Tamron Lens Utility
This lens includes a Connector Port that lets you customize functions and update firmware via Tamron’s Lens Utility software — adding flexibility for advanced users.
