This is one lens that portrait shooters have been waiting for a long time as announced earlier. Tamron has made the right move to make a zoom lens specifically designed to handle portraits photography, paired with large apertures.

Dubbed the model A043, which currently available in Canon and Nikon mount, photographers everywhere, especially those who enjoy photographing people, can add wider range to their creative expression that extends from 35mm to 150mm and offers a fast F/2.8 aperture at the wide-angle end while maintaining a bright F/4 at the telephoto end.

The handling for Tamron 35-150mm F2.8-4 Di VC OSD is designed for easy transport, measuring only 124.3mm long and perfectly balanced. Autofocus is exceptionally quiet with improved precision and speed thanks to the OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) DC motor and with the help of the incorporates Dual MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) system, which strikes the perfect balance between AF performance and effective vibration compensation.

For close-focusing, the minimum object distance is 0.45m across the entire zoom range, providing greater flexibility when used outdoors, a Fluorine Coating and Moisture-Resistant Construction deliver extra measures of protection.

So, there are a lot of science stuffed into the Tamron 35-150mm F2.8-4 Di VC OSD. Let’s have a look at some of it.

Superb optics
Chromatic aberration and other imperfections that can diminish and degrade resolving power are thoroughly controlled by an optical design that combines three high-performance LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements with three hybrid aspherical lens elements aligned in perfect balance. The result provides the high levels of sharpness and contrast that today’s high-resolution digital cameras require. Superb optical performance meets requirements of high resolution 50+ megapixel DSLRs or the mirrorless cameras.

Outstanding performance
Tamron’s legendary BBAR (Broad-Brand Anti-Reflection) Coating works in harmony with an optical design that suppresses internal lens reflections to significantly reduce all traces of ghosting and flare. Because portraits are often shot under backlight conditions for impact, Tamron uses these advanced technologies to preserve high image quality even when strong sources of light—including the sun—are in frame.

Dual MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) & OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) DC motor
High-speed Dual MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) control system delivers fast and highly responsive autofocus performance plus outstanding vibration compensation. OSD technology reduces drive noise significantly while boosting autofocusing precision and speed by a wide margin. This eliminates noisy distractions during portrait shooting. Furthermore, superior AF precision also provides more accurate tracking when locked on moving subjects.

Vibration Compensation
The VC (Vibration Compensation) achieves 5 stops, according to CIPA Standards. This is highly useful when shooting at the telephoto where camera movement is unavoidable. It’s also very valuable when shooting at slow shutter speeds in low lighting conditions.

Minimum Object Distance
Close focusing of 0.45m at all focal lengths allows portrait photographers to get in close to capture expressions and smaller details and allows them to adjust camera-to-subject distance with greater control. Even when shooting indoors where movement is restricted, users can make use of this feature to find the perfect shooting position and angle.

Moisture-Resistant Construction
Seals are located at the lens mount area and other critical locations to prevent infiltration of moisture and/or rain to provide Moisture-Resistant Construction. This feature affords an additional layer of protection when shooting outdoors under adverse weather conditions.

Fluorine Coating
The surface of the front element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that has excellent water- and oil-repellant qualities. The front surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture or oily fingerprints, allowing for much easier maintenance.
