Solid Choice!

While there is a bit more vignetting at longer focal lengths than I would like, this is overall a really solid lens option! I really enjoy having it in my collection.

Stellar!

Replaced all primes within the focal range to offset the cost of this purchase. No regrets! Perfect all-in-one lens for corporate and wedding work. The lens itself is well balanced and doesn't feel as heavy as it would seem on my Sony a7IV. Fast focusing, minimal breathing, and sharp! Just get it!

A true workhorse.

I own and used the older F-mount version of the 35-150, until they released the Z-mount. It has been my go-to for events and even weddings. With the Z version, it is faster, so there's more usable light in any condition; as well as, near prime levels of bokeh throughout the whole zoom range. Coming from the old version, it was just amazing how much quicker the auto focus is, and how effortless the eye and face detect are. The app and those features are actually quite neat, especially if you shoot any video. It is a bit on the heavy side. When I use it on my Z5, I can feel it more in my right hand. Though on my Z6III or an 8 or 9, the weight distributes a lot better with the added grip area. I highly recommend this lens.

better than sony 24-70 and 70-200

covers 24-70 and 70-200 got in 2015 f4 as there were no 2.8. than. This is 2 to 2.8 for 2k nice images good contrast fast focus on 7rii. 7riii, a7riv and 7siii and when video i can program lens for rack focus no breathing! weight even on rs2 is fine unless your a weekend shooter but for professionals that shoot daily this lens is great! I use 3 bodies and 3 lenses for events the 12-24, 35-150, and sony 135 gm for portraits just because contrast color rendition it is the best lens i have ever owned. 3 bodies 3 lenses so lens case left in car. It is not perfect like the Sony gm 135 but it is better than gm 24 or 35 and much sharper with better contrast than 24-70 and 70-200f4 i never give 5 stars but lately new purchases have been that good I return anything at 3 stars so very fastidious with tools not a fan boy of sony but have over 30k in sony glass and bodies so tools i have at moment first non sony lens purchased! customers will never notice the things pros do so make $$

Game Changer

This lens is a game changer. Sharp, great brokeh when needed and I was able to shoot a wedding with 5 attendants without swapping lens. ( It was close and in future would toss on my 24MM) but I am not a wedding photographer by genre. Great versatile product for in the field or volume work. I like not having to swap lens or carry 2 bodies on me for events.

Amazing all-around and well perform lens. Tamron hit the home run with this magnificent beast!

Perfect lens for my A7R4 & A7R5. All around travel, portrait and event photography. Never leaves my camera. Focus is tack sharp. Slight bit heavy and you may need to hits the gym if right arm are sore after using it. Already made money back from my first event shooting. Way to go Tamron!! Sold my Sony 70-200 f4 and 24-70mm f2.8, saved tons of backpack space for just this one lens.

I love this lens! It's a bit heavy and large but has extraordinary optics and it's reallllllllly versatile! It's very fast/accurate with the AF functions of my A7 IV, including animal and bird eye AF.

Heavy and Hard Hitting

This lens is nearly perfect, focus is great for anyone but action shooters, also pet AF leaves some things to be desired but the focal distance and aperture range are no joke. Photos look amazing and the weight helps add stabilization in video. It cant focus very close like other tamrons and it will not fit in my sling 3L bag, but otherwise it really is a wondrous lens for event workers. I will probably change out for the 24-70 gm II but this lens is arguably one of the best I've ever used.

Perfect one-for-all lens

Took it on a cross country trip and it works great! I only packed one lens and this is it. A bit on the heavier side, but it?s so versatile. I use it for both landscape and portrait. The depth and focus rings are very smooth. Quick to focus. Highly recommend

AMAZING

I have been photographing events professionally for years now. And for years, I have only carried around a 35mm f/1.4 and an 85mm f/1.4. I usually shoot portraits at events and I desire the most sharp image I can get - hints the primes. I have never liked zoom lenses at all and stay far away from them - less sharp and chromatic aberration. However, I was skeptical when this lens came out and heard really great reviews from a friend. So I decided to rent it. And rent it again, and rent it again. And once more. And now I am going to buy it. I have never used a better lens to be honest... Is it a little big, sure. But nothing crazy. This is one of the sharpest lenses I have ever used and the 35-150mm is perfect for whatever life throws at me. Instead of carrying around 3 lenses, I now only carry around 2 lenses - this lens and a 14-24. I cannot tell you enough, THIS LENS IS SHARP. Worth every dollar. I never write reviews, but I do need to world to know that this lens switched me from primes to zoom lenses because it is just that good. Buy it, rent it, enjoy it!

Lucky to have it

Orderd on backorder. Took months to receive. But is well worth the wait. Excellent IQ, easy to use. A bit big, but it's a large zoom range that only goes from f/2 to f/2.8! Couldn't ask for a better more versatile tool!

The LENS

So this lens is what you're looking for! There has been so many YouTubers cover this so you don't need more from me ?? that said, you can totally shoot a full day on just this lens with the focal ranges it offers. Pair this with a 16-35 or 17-28 and you have coverage from 16/17 mm almost all the way to 150! It's awesome! Oh and did I mention it starts at f/2?! I could go on, but go watch Geral Undone haha!

One of the best lenses

this lens is an absolute winner! I had to take some pics of a concert and the zoom flexibility proved extremely useful One drawback would be the heft it brings to the whole setup. But of there is only one lens that would do all, then I would definitely choose this tamron 35-150 than any other 24-70 lenses.

Sharp zoom lens

Fast and sharp zoom lens for Sony E mount. It has wide aperture ranging from f2 ~ f2.8 for the zoom range of 35-150mm. It is awesome multipurpose lens built with great quality material. It is slightly heavy but versatile as well since it has great zoom range with low f stop, which makes it useful for travel or photo shoot.

The lens is everything that you would expect it to be, a beauty I did not give it 5 stars because I feel that Tamron is rather skimpy on the delivery of a lens at this cost No camera bag no connection cord to connect to the computer.

Amazing do it all. The only lens you need in the bag/ or on the camera :)

Amazing lens as seen in all other reviews. This lens was so unexpected, but there is none like it one the market with such a Wide zoom range at that speed. I used the Sony G FE24-105 f4 for the longest time and always wished I had a faster lens or a longer reach and this fits the bill perfectly. The build quality is amazing and just like a G lens from Sony. Its slightly on the heavier and larger side, but I can't complain for the quality and speed that it produces!

The perfect focal length range and aperture for what I do

I almost switched to Canon for the 28-75mm f2.0, but I'm glad I waited. This Sony exclusive is perfect for what I do (mainly portraits on the beach).

Great image quality from such a useful and wide zoom range

So far I had 3 full days of shooting with this lens. I am very happy with my purchase and I have started selling the lenses that this zoom replaces. I have also purchased a new strap as this lens is heavy. There are already a few reviews out so I am not sure I can add much. However, what I can say is that surprised by the high contrast images this lens produces. Definitely better than I expected from a zoom.

Better than expected

By JOHN H.

I absolutely love this lens. I also own a bunch of GM primes (24,35,50), but this 35-150 has quickly become my favorite go-to lens. It?s so versatile it?s perfect for documenting family stuff, street photography, and travel. And honestly the weight is no issue at all considering what I?m getting for it. Tamron hit this one out of the park.

Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8.

From expansive scenery to magnificent cityscapes-you can capture it all. We created a fast-aperture zoom lens ideal for the creation of art while traveling to take photos. The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058) is a high resolution travel zoom lens that covers everything from the 35mm wide angle to the 150mm telephoto focal length, the first zoom lens achieving an aperture of F2 at the wide angle end for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras.

This versatile all-in-one zoom enables photography of beautiful natural scenery, urban landscapes, impressive buildings, restaurant interiors, city night views and more while traveling, without having to change lenses-or changing your distance from the subject when composing. It has a groundbreaking fast-aperture and utilizes the linear motor focus mechanism VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), thereby achieving high speed, high precision autofocusing. The innovative lens design enabled us to greatly improve the lens's grip and functionality and includes a Connector Port on the lens barrel.

The port enables users to apply the TAMRON Lens Utility, developed in-house, to easily customize functions and to update firmware. The 35-150mm F2-2.8 allows photographers to shoot at the common focal lengths frequently used when creating art while traveling, from the wide angle to normal, semi-telephoto, and telephoto-and anything in between. This empowers you to clearly capture the scenes as you envision them with its overwhelming resolving power and amazing flexibility.

Create beautiful, soft bokeh with the large, best-in-class F2-2.8 aperture
The 35-150mm F2-2.8 features an optimal combination of four LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements that subdue aberrations, and three extraordinary GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements. Together they assure high optical performance that enhances your ability to capture all the incredible scenery you encounter while traveling. TAMRON has achieved a maximum aperture of F2 at the wide-angle end and F2.8 at the telephoto end, enabling you to achieve beautiful, soft bokeh across the entire zoom range.

The lens also makes it possible to capture subjects clearly in more situations. The lens's fast maximum aperture helps you control camera movement by permitting a higher shutter speed, or when trying to reduce noise by choosing a low ISO. Even when used with the latest mirrorless cameras that require high resolution performance, images are sharp edge-to-edge and from center to every corner, across the entire frame of the photo.

Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8

Capture Everything From Wide Angle To Telephoto, With The Same Lens.

This zoom lens covers everything from the 35mm wide angle to 150mm telephoto, including all the commonly used focal lengths, so it's very handy for travel because it can replace several single lenses. Seamlessly take photos without switching lenses in various situations. Change to an 85mm semi-telephoto angle of view, focus on a faraway subject at 150mm, and make full use of the 35mm and 50mm focal lengths.

Change composition without changing your distance from the subject. You can use just this one lens to capture a wide range of photos while traveling, from landscapes to snapshots and portraits. Our design goal was portability and compact design while achieving a spectacular specification of F2-2.8 with a 4.3x zoom ratio.

Capture sharp, crisp images with high speed and high precision autofocus
The autofocus drive employs the VXD linear motor focus mechanism. You can easily achieve focus from the MOD (Minimum Object Distance) to infinity, even at the maximum F2 aperture, thanks to the speed and precision of this highly accurate autofocus system. Focus tracking is also extremely precise so you can capture sudden movements by your subject. The linear motor also suppresses drive noise and vibrations during focusing, making it ideal for shooting both still photos and video in environments that demand quietness.

Proprietary software tool TAMRON Lens Utility for lens function customization
The Model A058 incorporates the new 'TAMRON Lens Utility' software originally and uniquely developed by TAMRON. TAMRON Lens Utility can be operated using a computer by connecting the lens from its Connector Port via the optional TAMRON Connection Cable. Users can customize the functions and update the firmware through the lens. The personal customization gives flexible shooting options to match the shooting situation such as still photography or videography.

Achieve stellar close-up photos
The new 35-150mm F2-2.8 boasts the ability to take closeup photographs extremely close to the subject. At the 35mm wide-angle end, the MOD is 0.33m (13 in), achieving a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5.7. To further accentuate the subject and separate it visually from its surroundings you can create a greatly blurred background using the large F2-2.8 maximum aperture. You can also take unique and impressive photos, including overhead shots of food and close-ups of parts of small objects, flowers, or other subject details.

Capture Everything From Wide Angle To Telephoto, With The Same Lens.

Operation & Ergonomics.

The Model A058 incorporates a new design that becomes the hallmark of TAMRON lenses introduced in the future. In constant pursuit of improving products in every way possible, TAMRON considered customer feedback and reviewed each part and component of the lens down to the finest details. As a result, TAMRON has enhanced both the operation and tactile presentation of the lens.

Zoom ring, focus ring
Grip texture has been improved by redesigning the striped pattern on the rubber focusing and zoom rings. Certain internal parts have also been enhanced. These advancements result in smoother overall operability. TAMRON has also adjusted the stiffness and torque of the zoom ring to facilitate smoother and more precise operation.

New sculpted shape
The diameters of the zoom ring and focus ring have been enlarged, and the body areas around them have been slimmed down to give the lens a contoured profile that makes it easier to grip. This creates a comfortable, uneven shape that fits snugly and naturally in the hand.

Exterior has deep, luxurious black finish
The surface of the lens exterior is shiny black, much glossier than previous models. Improved abrasion resistance makes the lens harder to scratch and resists fingerprints.

Brand ring
The "brand ring" on the lens mount is a sign of trust with the user, and the smooth curved surface and glossy surface treatment give the camera a unique and dignified appearance that is pleasing to both the eye and the hand.

Switch box, Focus Set Button
The recessed switch box and Focus Set Button have an unobtrusive, contoured design that smoothly guides the fingers intuitively. This improved slide switch design was first used with Model A057. The sloped bevel around the slide switch draws your finger naturally to the right position. To prevent accidental operation, the switches have a low profile. Taken altogether, these enhancements provide a more comfortable user experience.

Operation & Ergonomics.
