The Tamron 35mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M 1:2 offers a classic focal length for everyday shooting, from street to portrait work. It combines a slim, lightweight body with an f/2.8 aperture, so you can travel light and still shoot in varied lighting. Tamron designed this lens for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, and it also works on APS-C bodies with an equivalent 52.5 mm view. A 5.9″ minimum focusing distance and 1:2 magnification add flexibility when you frame close-up subjects and fine details.​

Versatile focal length

The 35 mm focal length gives a mildly wide perspective that suits street scenes, travel photos, environmental portraits, and video. The f/2.8 maximum aperture lets in enough light for many available-light situations while keeping the lens compact and easy to carry all day.​

Optical design and clarity

The lens uses one LD (Low Dispersion) element to cut chromatic aberration and color fringing, which improves clarity and color accuracy. A molded glass aspherical element helps control distortion and spherical aberrations, delivering sharper results across the frame. Tamron’s BBAR coating reduces reflections, flare, and ghosting, so you get better contrast and cleaner color even with strong backlight.​

Close focus and autofocus

The 1:2 half life-size magnification and 5.9″ minimum focusing distance make this lens a strong choice for product shots and detail work. An OSD stepping motor provides fast, quiet autofocus for stills and video, and you can fine-tune focus at any time with full-time manual override.​

Durable design and bokeh

The moisture-resistant construction helps protect the lens when you shoot outdoors in light rain or humid conditions. A fluorine coating on the front element makes it easier to wipe away dust, fingerprints, and smudges. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth, pleasing bokeh at wider apertures, giving your images a more refined, professional look.
