TAMRON’s official firmware support page currently lists Ver. 6 as the latest firmware for the Sony E-mount A058.
Compatibility with TAMRON Lens Utility Ver. 5.0
One of the main purposes of Ver. 6 is to add compatibility with TAMRON Lens Utility Ver. 5.0.
TAMRON Lens Utility provides additional controls and functions for compatible TAMRON lenses. With the appropriate lens firmware and software version, users can access supported functions from a compatible Windows or macOS computer.
TAMRON announced that the A058 Sony E-mount firmware update would be released later to enable compatibility with the new Ver. 5.0 software. That update was subsequently released as Ver. 6 on July 8, 2026.
Compatibility with TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile Ver. 5.0
Firmware Ver. 6 also adds compatibility with TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile Ver. 5.0.
This is particularly useful for photographers and creators who use compatible mobile devices to configure supported lens functions.
TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile is available for supported mobile operating systems. For iOS devices, TAMRON-LINK is required for wireless communication with compatible lenses. Android users can use TAMRON-LINK or the appropriate TAMRON connection cable, depending on the setup.
The lens firmware must be updated to the required version before the corresponding Ver. 5.0 features can be used.
Previous 35-150mm A058 Firmware Improvements
The latest Ver. 6 firmware builds on several earlier improvements.
In February 2025, TAMRON released Ver. 5 for the Sony E-mount A058. That firmware improved autofocus performance during zooming when shooting video and still images in AF-C mode. It also added support for continuous shooting at up to approximately 120 frames per second with the Sony α9 III when the camera’s focus mode is set to AF-S, DMF or MF.
These improvements remain part of the A058’s firmware history and are important for photographers using the lens for action, wildlife, sports and video.
Improved AF Performance During Zooming
The previous Ver. 5 firmware improved autofocus performance while zooming in AF-C mode.
The 35-150mm A058 covers a wide range of focal lengths, from a 35mm wide-angle perspective through a 150mm telephoto view. Photographers may need to change focal lengths while continuing to track a subject.
Improved autofocus during zooming can help maintain more consistent focus as the focal length changes.
This can be useful for:
Sports photography
Wildlife photography
Events
Portraits
Travel photography
Video recording
The improvement applies to both still-image and video shooting when using AF-C mode.
Sony α9 III High-Speed Continuous Shooting
Ver. 5 also introduced support for continuous shooting at up to approximately 120 frames per second when the A058 is paired with the Sony α9 III.
This capability is available when the camera’s focus mode is set to:
AF-S
DMF
MF
The feature can help photographers capture fast-changing moments when working with compatible high-speed shooting equipment.

The firmware should only be installed on the appropriate lens and mount.
How to Check the Firmware Version
Before updating, check the current firmware version of your A058.
If the lens is already running Ver. 6, no additional firmware update is required for the improvements covered by this notice.
If an earlier version is installed, TAMRON recommends updating to the latest available firmware.
The official TAMRON firmware page maintains the A058 firmware history and identifies Ver. 6 as the current Sony E-mount version.
Why Keep the A058 Firmware Updated?
Keeping lens firmware current can help maintain compatibility with newer camera and software features.
The 35-150mm A058 has received several firmware improvements since its original release. These include improved AF tracking, video AF Assist support, improved autofocus during zooming and compatibility with newer versions of TAMRON Lens Utility.
Updating to Ver. 6 also allows Sony E-mount users to use the A058 with TAMRON Lens Utility Ver. 5.0 and TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile Ver. 5.0.
Sony E-Mount A058 Firmware Compatibility
This firmware notice applies specifically to the Sony E-mount version of the 35-150mm A058.
TAMRON also produces a Nikon Z version of the lens, but its firmware history is separate. The Nikon Z version currently has its own firmware listing and version numbering.
Users should therefore confirm their lens mount before downloading or installing firmware.
Selecting firmware intended for another mount can result in an unsuccessful update or compatibility problems.
TAMRON 35-150mm A058 for Sony E
The 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD is a full-frame mirrorless zoom designed for Sony E and Nikon Z systems.
Its 35-150mm range covers several commonly used focal lengths, while its maximum aperture ranges from F2 at the wide end to F2.8 at the telephoto end.
TAMRON describes the lens as a fast-aperture zoom designed for applications including travel, portraits and creative photography. The lens is also equipped with VXD autofocus technology.
The combination of a versatile focal-length range and fast aperture makes reliable autofocus performance important when shooting subjects that require quick changes in framing.
TAMRON Lens Utility and Mobile Control
The A058’s compatibility with the latest TAMRON Lens Utility software expands the ways photographers can configure and control supported lens functions.
Ver. 5.0 of TAMRON Lens Utility introduced several new functions, while TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile provides mobile-based control for supported lenses.
For iOS devices, TAMRON-LINK is required for wireless communication. Android devices can use TAMRON-LINK or a compatible connection cable depending on the configuration.
The mobile application itself does not perform lens firmware updates. TAMRON’s software documentation states that the PC version is required for firmware updates.
Important Firmware Information
Before installing firmware, carefully read the instructions supplied by TAMRON.
Make sure that you have selected the firmware for the Sony E-mount A058 rather than the Nikon Z version.
If you experience problems during the update or the lens does not operate normally afterward, contact the appropriate TAMRON distributor or service center for assistance.
TAMRON’s official support pages should be used as the primary source for the latest firmware versions and update instructions.
