The application is the mobile version of the TAMRON Lens Utility dedicated Windows and Mac PC software released in October 2021 and was developed in-house by TAMRON. The application is available on Google Play.

The TAMRON Lens Utility Mobile is compatible with Androids running with OS 6-122 and the following TAMRON lens models: 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A063), 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), and 20-40mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A062).3 4

Using the TAMRON Connection Cable, an Android smart device can be connected to a lens to easily configure lens customizations without requiring a computer.

A new function that enables lens operations to be controlled from a smartphone has also been added. For example, the A-B Focus function that smoothly shifts the focus from one preselected subject to another can be setup without touching the lens.
