Tamron officially announces new 35-150mm f/2-2.8 and 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 lenses for Sony E mount

Well, there’s not much that we didn’t already know about the specs of these two lenses, thanks to a pretty much total leak of everything a couple of weeks ago, but Tamron has now officially announced their new 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD and 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 full-frame zoom lenses for Sony E mount cameras.

Described by Tamron as a “travel zoom”, the 35-150mm f/2-2.8 is the first Sony E mount zoom lens that maxes out at an f/2 aperture. It features Tamron’s VXD motor, which they say offers fast and precise autofocus and is compatible with Sony’s Fast Hybrid AF and Eye AF systems. The 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 is the second iteration of a pre-existing lens that also sees the newest VXD motors.

Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 and 28-75mm f/2.8 images and specs leak ahead of October announcement

Last month, Tamron announced the development of a new 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD zoom lens for Sony E-Mount. They claimed it to be the “world’s first mirrorless zoom lens with a maximum wide-open aperture of f/2”. Of course, it’s not and came with caveats, which seems to be the way with Sony stuff. Along with this lens, Tamron also announced the development of a 28-75mm f/2.8 zoom.

Both lenses are expected to be announced on October 28th, according to Nokishita. But that’s not all they said. They also posted all of the images and complete specs brochures for both lenses.
