TAMRON has received two prestigious honors at the TAMRON EISA Awards 2026-2027, with two of its latest full-frame mirrorless lenses recognized by the Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA). The 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064) was named EISA Wide Angle Zoom Lens 2026-2027, while the 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) received the EISA Standard Zoom Lens 2026-2027 award.
These two awards add to TAMRON’s long history of recognition from EISA and mark the company’s 21st consecutive year receiving EISA Awards.
TAMRON EISA Awards 2026-2027 Recognize Two Versatile Zoom Lenses
The EISA Awards recognize outstanding products across the consumer electronics industry. EISA brings together specialist magazines, websites, and journalists from more than 30 countries, with expertise covering photography, mobile devices, hi-fi, home theater, and other areas.
For 2026-2027, two TAMRON lenses stood out for their combination of optical performance, versatility, portability, and advanced focusing technology.
The two award-winning lenses are designed for different photographic needs. The 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is an ultra-wide-angle zoom suited to landscapes, architecture, interiors, travel, and video. The 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD provides a versatile standard zoom range that is particularly useful for portraits and everyday photography.
TAMRON 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Wins EISA Wide Angle Zoom Lens 2026-2027
The 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064) was recognized as the EISA Wide Angle Zoom Lens 2026-2027.
This ultra-wide-angle zoom combines a compact, lightweight design with a constant F2.8 maximum aperture. Its focal range gives photographers flexibility when working with expansive scenes, architecture, interiors, travel subjects, and creative close-up compositions.
The lens also features TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, providing fast and accurate autofocus performance. Its close-focusing capability adds further flexibility when photographers want to get closer to their subjects.
Other practical features include Moisture-Resistant Construction, an internal zoom mechanism, and compatibility with the TAMRON Lens Utility application.
With its combination of wide-angle coverage, constant F2.8 aperture, portability, and focusing performance, the 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is designed for photographers and content creators who need a versatile ultra-wide zoom.
TAMRON 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD Wins EISA Standard Zoom Lens 2026-2027
The 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) received the EISA Standard Zoom Lens 2026-2027 award.
Designed for full-frame Sony E-mount and Nikon Z mount mirrorless cameras, the lens covers several highly useful focal lengths, including 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm.
Its constant F2.8 maximum aperture makes it well suited to a wide range of shooting situations. Photographers can use the lens for portraits, everyday photography, events, and other subjects where a versatile standard zoom is useful.
The lens uses TAMRON’s VXD linear motor focus mechanism, which supports fast and effective autofocus performance, including Hybrid AF and Eye AF systems.
The 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD also delivers high resolution from the center to the edges of the frame while producing smooth, attractive bokeh. Moisture-Resistant Construction adds durability, while the built-in USB Type-C Connector Port allows users to customize the lens and perform firmware updates using TAMRON Lens Utility.
A Long History of EISA Award Recognition
The 2026-2027 awards continue TAMRON’s long-standing relationship with EISA. With these latest honors, TAMRON has received EISA Awards for 21 consecutive years since 2006 and has been recognized by EISA for a total of 28 years.
Over the years, TAMRON lenses have received recognition across a wide range of categories and focal lengths. This includes wide-angle, standard, telephoto, macro, and all-in-one zoom lenses.
The continued recognition highlights TAMRON’s focus on developing lenses that combine optical performance with practical designs for modern mirrorless cameras.
Two Lenses Designed for Different Photographic Needs
The two TAMRON EISA Awards 2026-2027 winners demonstrate different approaches to versatile lens design.
The 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is ideal for photographers who want an ultra-wide perspective in a compact zoom. Its wide field of view makes it useful for landscapes, architecture, interiors, travel, and video.
The 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD, meanwhile, covers a highly practical range from wide-angle to short telephoto. Its 35mm to 100mm range makes it particularly useful for portraits, everyday photography, and situations where photographers need to change perspectives without changing lenses.
Both lenses combine a constant F2.8 aperture with advanced VXD autofocus technology, giving photographers flexibility while maintaining a compact and practical design.
TAMRON’s Continued Commitment to Lens Innovation
The latest EISA recognition adds another milestone to TAMRON’s history of lens development. By combining advanced optical technology, fast autofocus systems, practical focal ranges, and compact designs, TAMRON continues to develop lenses for photographers and creators working across a wide range of subjects.
The 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 and 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD represent two different approaches to versatile zoom lenses, and their EISA Awards recognize their strengths in the wide-angle and standard zoom categories.
TAMRON is proud to receive two EISA Awards for 2026-2027 and looks forward to continuing its pursuit of innovation in photographic optics.
