Lens Overview
Every day, every subject – take a wider look at the world
The TAMRON 35mm F/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 (Model F053) for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras is a wide-angle prime perfect for just about every shooting situation. The 35mm focal length provides a natural perspective and field-of-view for instinctive image capture. Very light and compact, it hardly adds anything to the heft to your bag, so you can carry it comfortably every day. Focusing as close as 5.9″, you can fill the frame with even small subjects. The TAMRON 35mm F2.8 provides outstanding optical performance across the entire frame, and delivers a sharp image, right down to the texture of the subject. With Moisture-Resistant Construction and dirt-resistant Fluorine Coating, photographers can shoot confidently outdoors.
Get closer to your subject with 1:2 Macro
One of the key features that makes this Tamron 35mm F2.8 lens so exciting is its amazing ability to shoot close-ups. With this lens, you can get closer to an object than you’d ever imagined. At the 5.9″ (0.15m) MOD, the lens achieves its maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. This remarkable performance allows users to create compositions that exploit dramatic perspective (closer subjects are larger, and distant ones are smaller) and that are unique to wide-angle lenses. By getting close to an subject, you can produce a one-of-a-kind photo and leverage the beautifully blurred background bokeh.
The ideal TAMRON 35mm F2.8 lens for everyday use and rapid, sharp candids
This 35mm lens for Sony cameras provides outstanding optical performance and overall image quality, characteristics relentlessly demanded from a prime, fixed focal lens. The expert arrangement of the LD and GM specialized glass elements greatly controls aberrations, including chromatic aberrations. TAMRON’s proprietary BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating reduces ghosting and flare, which can otherwise occur when taking a photo against the sun. Moreover, leveraging your camera body’s features* it delivers, throughout the frame, high resolution performance that maximizes the benefits of the latest high-megapixel cameras. Whether shooting on the street, full-scale landscapes or architectural photography, this lens delivers exceptionally crisp, colorful and beautiful images and helps you fulfill your creative ambitions.
*When shooting with the camera’s lens correction function enabled.
The extreme portability enhances the limitless versatility of the TAMRON 35mm F2.8 lens
This TAMRON 35mm F/2.8 Di III OSD lens travels as well as it performs. And because it’s matched to lightweight full-frame mirrorless cameras, your entire system becomes light, fast and nimble. It has a very compact body, weighing just 7.4oz (210g) and an overall length of 2.5″ (64mm). It’s comfortably portable, highly maneuverable and amazingly easy to use and compose. Because the overall length does not change when focusing, you can get as close to an object as you need to without fear of accidentally bumping the front element. The TAMRON 35mm F2.8 has the same 67mm filter diameter as the other members of this prime series of 20mm, 24mm, and 35mm, as well as many of the zooms, for Sony E-mount cameras. So you can swap filters like circular polarizers, lens caps and other accessories for convenience.

Lens Features
Features
A 7-blade diaphragm is configured to retain a smooth, circular-shaped aperture opening even when stopped down by two stops from the wide-open aperture. This produces a smooth-edged bokeh in background highlights.
The application of BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating for suppressing reflections on lens element surfaces minimizes unwanted flare and ghosting to deliver sharp, crisp, high-contrast images.
For greater protection when shooting outdoors, leak-resistant seals throughout the lens barrel help protect your equipment.
The front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that is water- and oil-repellent. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints.
