The ultimate portrait-to-telephoto zoom — fast, flexible, and built for creators who want it all.
The Tamron 35–150mm f/2–2.8 Di III VXD is one of the most exciting lenses available for Nikon Z shooters — a rare zoom that delivers prime-like speed, beautiful rendering, and exceptional versatility across the most useful portrait and telephoto focal lengths. From environmental portraits at 35mm to compressed headshots at 150mm and everything in between, this lens was designed to replace an entire kit of primes without sacrificing optical quality.
A constant f/2–2.8 aperture makes it a standout for low light, weddings, events, portraits, documentary work, and travel. Add Tamron’s flagship VXD autofocus motor, weather-sealed build, and excellent close-focus ability, and you get a lens that performs like a premium tool in every direction.
