The ideal zoom lens
for Concert Photography!
Tamron 35-150mm F/2.0-2.8 Di III VXD
My experience with the Tamron 35-150mm F/2.0-2.8 Di III VXD (A058s)
“Over the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to shoot a lot of concerts with the Tamron 35-150 F/2-2.8 and what a great time it has been! As a concert photographer, a good variety of shots is very important, but I cannot always easily walk back and forth when I am on stage or in the audience. So this lens is perfect for that!”.
Ideal zoom range for varied shots. Because of the zoom range of this lens, I can go in different directions; I can get beautiful overviews, close-ups, and everything in between. From anywhere in the room!

I used to shoot with 2 bodies and 3 lenses, the full frame Tamron 17-28 F/2.8 Di III RXD (model A046), the Tamron 28-75 F/2.8 Di III RXD (model A036) and the Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (model A056). As a result, I often had to change lenses in between, which meant I sometimes missed important moments during the show, which is a shame. Although these three Tamron lenses are also great, it's nice to know that by using the Tamron 35-150 F/2-2.8, I no longer have to change lenses. Now I can fully concentrate on capturing these shows.
"No more changing lenses during a concert"
Incredibly bright for the zoom range
As well as the zoom range, I would also like to talk a little about the maximum aperture, which is F/2.0! Concerts are often held in dark rooms, so it is important to use a lens that is very sensitive to light; the F/2.0-2.8 aperture is more than perfect in these situations.
Conclusion
As a concert photographer, I find the Tamron 35-150mm F/2.0-2.8 Di III VXD ideal. The zoom range and brightness allow me to shoot from any angle without changing lenses, from overviews with the audience to close-ups of the artist. As a result, I never miss a moment and can concentrate on capturing unforgettable concert moments.
