We Love
- Quite a unique 35-100mm range that spans classic portrait focal lengths including 35mm, 50mm and 85mm
- Noticeably lighter than the 35-150mm alternative from Tamron, which helps during handheld shooting
- Consistent F2.8 exposure across the full zoom range for subject to background separation
- Close 0.22m focusing that is ideal for close-up and detail shots without needing to change lenses
- Unified 67mm filter size that simplifies working with multiple Tamron zoom lenses
Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Nikon Z Summary
The Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Nikon Z is a full-frame standard to short telephoto zoom lens that concentrates on some of the most frequently used portrait focal lengths. It maintains a constant F2.8 aperture throughout, from 35mm through to 100mm while remaining very compact for a lens in this class.
For Nikon mirrorless camera users who want a lightweight mirrorless kit, it complements Tamron’s wider fast zooms such as the 16-30mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 and 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD. It also provides a smaller and lighter alternative to the broader 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD for photographers who do not require the extended reach.
Measuring just 121.5mm long and weighing 575g for the Z mount, it is perfectly weighted on cameras such as the Nikon Z6 III or Z8, while offering close focusing down to 0.22m at the wide end for details and close-ups.

Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lens for Nikon Z in More Detail
Optical performance across portrait focal lengths
The 35-100mm range centres on natural portrait and lifestyle compositions. At 35mm, it supports environmental portraits and documentary-style coverage. Moving toward 85mm and 100mm increases compression, creating stronger subject separation that works well with the constant F2.8 aperture and 9-blade diaphragm for rounded highlights and smooth background rendering.
The optical construction consists of 15 elements in 13 groups, maintaining clarity across the frame while reducing common aberrations. At F2.8, transitions between in-focus and out-of-focus areas remain gradual, particularly in the 85mm to 100mm range where tighter head-and-shoulder portraits are common.
Close focusing and magnification
At 35mm, the lens focuses down to 0.22m and achieves a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.3. This enables close framing of smaller subjects such as food, accessories or detail shots during events. At the 100mm end, the minimum focus distance extends to 0.65m, preserving comfortable working distance for portrait subjects.
Autofocus
Tamron’s tried-and-tested VXD linear motor system delivers quick focus acquisition and stable tracking performance when paired with Nikon Z subject detection modes. Continuous AF transitions remain controlled, supporting both burst shooting and video capture. Focus drive operation is quiet, making it suitable for recording in smaller or more confined spaces.
Handling and build
At 575g with an 80.6mm maximum diameter, the lens balances well on mid-sized Nikon Z bodies without feeling front-heavy. Zoom action is smooth and barrel extension is moderate, helping maintain consistent framing during video recording.
The shared 67mm filter thread matches Tamron’s 16-30mm F/2.8 G2, simplifying filter management across a multi-lens setup.
Compatibility with Tamron Lens Utility via the Tamron Link adapter allows users to customise focus ring behaviour or assign preset focus positions for video workflows.
Moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine-coated front element add durability for outdoor use.

Our Verdict
The Tamron 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD for Nikon Z concentrates on the focal lengths many photographers use most for portraiture and lifestyle, without the size, weight or cost of a traditional 24-70mm F2.8 or the reach of a 35-150mm. For portrait, wedding and lifestyle photographers working primarily between 35mm and 100mm, it provides a consistent F2.8 aperture in a design that is very portable at just 575g.
It integrates smoothly with Nikon’s subject detection autofocus and pairs well with Tamron’s wider F2.8 zooms to create a lightweight, yet fast kit. If your work rarely requires 24mm or telephoto coverage, this lens makes excellent sense.
Anyone upgrading can obtain an instant trade-in valuation and use the money to offset against the cost of this zoom.
