Excerpts from the Award Citation of the EISA Jury 

EISA Wide Angle Zoom Lens 2026-2027
TAMRON 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064)

The TAMRON 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064) is an outstanding ultra wide-angle zoom that combines excellent optical performance with remarkable portability. Expanding the zoom range while maintaining a compact, lightweight design, it delivers consistently sharp, high-contrast images across the frame and throughout the focal range. Its fast, constant F2.8 aperture, rapid and accurate VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, and close-focusing capability make it equally at home with landscapes, architecture, interiors, travel, video and creative close-up photography. Moisture-Resistant Construction, internal zoom mechanism and compatibility with TAMRON Lens UtilityTM application further enhance its versatility, make this lens an exceptional choice for demanding photographers and content creators alike.

EISA Standard Zoom Lens 2026-2027
TAMRON 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078)

The TAMRON 35-100mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A078) is a compact standard zoom lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount and Nikon Z mount mirrorless cameras. It covers the focal lengths that are most commonly used in portrait photography, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm, while maintaining a relatively fast F2.8 aperture throughout. The VXD linear motor focus mechanism operates extremely effectively, supporting Hybrid AF and Eye AF systems. The lens has a very high resolution at both the centre and edges of the frame, while delivering beautifully smooth bokeh. Other practical features include Moisture-Resistant Construction and a USB Type-C Connector Port which allows for customization and firmware updates via the TAMRON Lens Utility application.
