SUMMARY
Tamron has released firmware version 6 for its 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD Sony E-mount lens, enabling remote control capabilities via the Tamron Lens Utility app. This update allows users to program lens buttons, set focus points, and adjust aperture wirelessly using a smartphone or computer, provided the Tamron Link Bluetooth adapter is connected. While initially delayed due to autofocus and connectivity bugs, the update is now available and particularly beneficial for videographers. The 35-150mm lens, weighing 1.2kg, is considered more suitable for wedding and event photography than travel.
