Photographers have a lot to look forward to this week. Leaks have surfaced online regarding a new Tamron 35-100mm F2.8 Di III VXD lens, which is expected to be officially announced on February 19, 2026. This fast, constant aperture zoom lens is designed for full frame coverage, offering a versatile focal range that bridges the gap between standard and telephoto zooms.

The leaked specifications suggest that Tamron is prioritizing a lightweight and compact build for both Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount users. The Nikon version measures 121.5 mm in length and weighs 575 g. Meanwhile, the Sony E-mount version is slightly more compact, measuring 119.2 mm and weighing only 565 g. This makes it an incredibly portable option for event and travel photographers who need a fast F2.8 aperture without the bulk of traditional telephoto glass.
Price and Availability
While official pricing has not yet been confirmed by @TamronUSA, more details are expected during the formal announcement on February 19th. Based on the leaked images and current market trends, this lens will likely be available through major retailers shortly after the reveal.
