The Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD (Z) is an advanced, flexible wide-to-telephoto zoom designed for full-frame Nikon Z-mount cameras. Key features include:
Quick and quiet VXD linear motor focus mechanism
Tamron Lens Utility connector port
8.7-25.6" minimum focusing distance
Lightweight and comfortable handling
Everyday Zoom. Lightweight and under 5", the Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD is a great everyday shooter. It maintains a maximum f/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range, making it suitable for dawn, dusk, and indoor shooting. For this reason, the Tamron 35-100mm is touted as a dream lens for travelers looking for maximum range in the smallest package possible without sacrificing speed. It is compatible with full-frame Nikon Z-mount cameras. On crop-frame sensor sensors, it will provide an equivalent (approximate) 52-150mm range, which is good for portrait work.
Up Close and Personal. An 8.7" minimum focusing distance makes this lens particularly versatile. When shooting at the wide end of the zoom range, you can capture tabletop shots of products, food, or small details at events. The minimized barrel extension stabilizes the 35-100mm’s center of gravity for steady operation and is small enough for use with a gimbal.
Tamron Lens Utility Compatible. The Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD is equipped with a waterproof USB-C connector port that is compatible with the Tamron TAMRON-LINK (not included). This lets you control the lens wirelessly from your smartphone up to 16’ away! Check out Tamron’s Lens Utility Software here, which you will need for your smart device.

Di III refers to Tamron’s third generation of Digitally Integrated Design lenses that have been engineered specifically for mirrorless, interchangeable-lens cameras with no internal mirror box or pentaprism.
VXD refers to the Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive autofocus system. “VXD” being catchier and less unwieldy than “VCETD,” I suppose!
