Tamron 35mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M 1:2 Sony E camera lens

Tamron 35mm f/2.8 prime for Sony E

This compact fixed-length lens covers a 35 mm focal length with a maximum aperture of f/2.8. It uses autofocus and accepts 67 mm filters. The barrel weighs roughly 475 g and is built with moisture-resistant construction plus a fluorine coating on the front element.

Suits street, documentary and close-up shooters

The 1:2 macro capability lets you focus as close as 5.9 cm for detailed textures, while the 63° angle of view works well for environmental portraits. Photographers who need built-in optical stabilisation or a wider maximum aperture should consider other options.

Nine elements in eight groups deliver sharp results

The f/2.8 aperture provides usable low-light performance and smooth background separation. Stopping down to f/22 extends depth of field for macro work. Without image stabilisation, handheld shots at slower speeds may require higher ISO or a support.
