SUMMARY
The Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD is a fast standard zoom lens available for Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount cameras. It provides excellent center sharpness and fast autofocus, with minimal focus breathing beneficial for video. However, it trades the wide-angle coverage of typical 24-70mm lenses for its longer reach. Notable weaknesses include significant distortion and vignetting wide open, and strong chromatic aberration that requires stopping down to f/8 or f/11 to resolve.
