PRO REVIEW by Erik Valind, Lifestyle and Portrait Photographer
"This ultra-wide-angle zoom lens is a natural for landscapes and cityscapes, and it even features the Dual Micro-Processing Unit System, which works to get auto-focus and vibration compensation up to 4.5 stops! Your images will be sharp, focused, and no doubt, unique. "
Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2
The second-generation Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 for Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras is a handy and versatile lens designed not only to cover a range of breathtaking ultra wide-angle perspectives for full-frame camera systems but also to capture sharp and clear imagery with its sophisticated optics. Its focal range offers an equivalent of 22.5-45mm when mounted on DX-format models while its fixed maximum aperture of f/2.8 produces well-exposed images and beautiful bokeh quality throughout the entire zoom. Equipped with aspherical and low dispersion glass elements layered with three types of specialized lens coatings, the lens reduces both chromatic and spherical aberrations and minimizes flare and ghosting for clearer, more vivid, and more accurate image details. Its Vibration Compensation (VC) image stabilization technology reduces up to 4.5 stops of camera shake for sharper images and smoother videos, even when shooting handheld or when utilizing slow shutter speeds. An Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) motor is also built into the lens for quick and noiseless AF focusing, as well as full-time manual focus override. With a weather-sealed and moisture-resistant body, this all-around lens can withstand particularly tricky environments and difficult shooting situations with ease.
High optical performance
With a well-established reputation for ultra-high-quality wideangle zoom lenses with its Model A012, Tamron carries on the tradition of high optical performance with the new SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A041). By incorporating an XGM (eXpanded Glass Molded Aspherical) lens element, as well as multiple LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements, the distortion and lateral chromatic aberrations so common in wideangle shooting have been greatly minimized.
Newly developed AX Coating
A newly developed AX (Anti-reflection eXpand) Coating has been applied to reduce ghosting and flare more thoroughly than ever before. The optical performance in this high-speed F/2.8 ultra-wideangle zoom lens is outstanding.In addition, the built-in Dual MPU enables vastly improved AF speed and image stabilization.
Speed and Image stabilization
This is a next-generation super high-quality, high-speed ultra-wideangle zoom lens with a wide range of features that serve to revitalize the user’s shooting experience. With the www.tamron-usa.com release of this model, three1 of Tamron’s high-speed F/2.8 zoom lens with VC are now G2.
Super high-quality zoom lens
The Model A041 is an F/2.8 ultra-wideangle lens with a focal length starting at 15mm that offers high resolution even in the peripheral area of the image. By incorporating an XGM lens element andmultiple LD. lens elements to curtail distortion and lateral chromatic aberrations, Tamron has achieved a degree of resolution throughout the range that is just as good as a fixed focal length lens.
Newly developed AX Coating
The AX (Anti-reflection eXpand) Coating, especially effective for wideangle lenses that tend to let in harmful light from peripheral areas, was developed to control rays that affect image quality. It is a revolutionary new proprietary coating developed in-house by Tamron using specialized deposition technology. The new coating keeps the reflection factor for peripheral areas at the same high level as that for the center area, not only overcoming standard curvature issues, but even overcoming the problems of conventionally produced convex surface with large curvatures for which uniform deposition has always proved difficult to achieve.
High-speed, high-precision AF
Superb AF speed and precision is delivered by equipping the lens with a Dual MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) system and employing an enhanced AF control algorithm to improve performance. The AF drive uses proprietary Tamron technology, USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive), enabling high torque, high response, and silent operation. And because it comes with a Full-time Manual Focus override system, manual focus adjustments can be made on the fly.
Rear filter holder
The Model A041 made for use on Canon (EF-mount) cameras comes with a filter holder as a standard feature that lets you insert gelatin and other sheet filters into the rear side of the lens. This makes photography using filters much easier and simpler by overcoming the problem of the curvature of the front lens elements that made shooting with filters so difficult in the past.
Vastly improved highly durable Fluorine Coating
Abrasion resistance capability has been vastly improved on the new Model A041. The front surface of the lens element is coated with a Fluorine Coating based on a newly developed fluorine compound with high water- and oil-repellent properties. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture, and fingerprints, and enabling your important lenses to be continually protected on a long-term basis. With the new SP design applied, Model A041 shares the same feel of high quality and operability as the other two models in this series, SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 and SP70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2.
High-Speed Ultra-Wide-Angle Zoom Lens
