A few days ago Tamron hinted that something new was coming, and now the cat is basically out of the bag. Images and detailed specifications of the upcoming Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 have surfaced online. The lens is expected to launch for both Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount. According to the leaked specs, the E-mount version measures 119.2mm in length and weighs 565 grams, while the Z-mount version comes in slightly larger at 121.5mm and 575 grams.
The lens reportedly offers a constant f/2.8 aperture across the 35-100mm range and uses a 67mm filter thread, in line with many of Tamron’s other recent zooms. It is said to feature Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) autofocus motor, which should mean fast and precise AF performance for both stills and video. The barrel is described as dust- and moisture-resistant, with a fluorine coating on the front element for easier cleaning.
Beyond that, the leaked press material points to an internal optical design optimised for both sharpness and smooth background rendering, with attention to minimising chromatic aberration and maintaining contrast across the zoom range. Support for Tamron Lens Utility software is also included, allowing you to customise functions and update firmware. Pricing will probably land around $900, with an official announcement expected around February 19, 2026.
