About Tamron 16-30MM F/2.8

Evolution of the G2

Meet the Next Generation 16-30mm f/2.8 G2 Ultra Wide-Angle Zoom Lens
Expanding upon the success of the highly acclaimed TAMRON 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A046), the G2 model emerges as an advanced 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064). While broadening the zoom range, this Nikon ultra wide angle lens maintains a compact, lightweight design and delivers exceptional image quality.

In addition, it features improved autofocus performance and has been updated to the latest lens design, enhancing overall operability.

Unlock New Possibilities in Landscape and Snap Photography with an Expanded Field-of-View
The 16-30mm lens extends the zoom range from 17mm to 16mm at the wide end and from 28mm to 30mm at the longer end. This enhancement provides a broader field-of-view, offering greater freedom for creative expression. On the wide-angle side, it's perfect for capturing powerful architectural and landscape shots, emphasizing perspective and depth.

It also excels in portrait photography, incorporating the spacious backgrounds that are unique to ultra wide-angle shots. On the 30mm end, the focal length delivers a more natural angle-of-view, making it ideal for family, street and travel photography. With just this one ultra wide angle lens for Nikon Z-mount, you can flexibly adapt to a variety of outdoor and cramped indoor shooting scenarios.

Lightweight, Compact, and Built for Mobility, It's Perfect for Travel and Everyday Photography and Video Content Creation
The 16-30mm ultra wide angle lens for Nikon has an expanded zoom range and introduces key upgrades including a linear motor, Connector Port, and Focus Set Button. Even with these enhancements, the lens maintains the incredibly lightweight and compact design points (15.9oz/450g, 4.1"/103.9mm length, Diameter - 67mm filter diameter) of its predecessor, ensuring excellent portability. Additionally, a component that enhances rigidity is used to optimize the balance between compactness and rigidity.

Moreover, the latest optical design and support for in-camera lens correction functions ensure high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. Thanks to these innovations, this highly portable zoom can be used to enjoy high-quality photography and video in a variety of situations, from everyday life to travel. Furthermore, the internal zoom (non-extending zoom) mechanism stabilizes the center of gravity, making handheld shooting, vlogging with a grip, capturing selfies, or gimbal use smoother than ever.

Exceptional Optical Performance with High Resolution, Capturing the Finest Details of Landscapes and Architecture, and Rendering Beautiful Bokeh
Featuring construction of 16 elements in 12 groups, the 16-30mm F2.8 G2 includes one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion), two LD (Low Dispersion), and three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lenses to minimize chromatic and various other aberrations. This design provides sharp, high-resolution images throughout the zoom range, capturing even the finest details in landscapes (starry skies) and architecture. Another feature is the dreamy bokeh produced by the fast F2.8 aperture.

The natural bokeh in front of and behind the subject enhances the sharpness of the subject, making it possible to create impressive images even in close-up photography. The fast aperture also enables low-light shooting without excessively high ISO settings, thereby delivering clear, noise-free images even in dim lighting conditions. Additionally, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating reduces ghosting and flare in backlit situations, providing clear, sharp images.

High-Speed, High-Precision AF to Quietly Capture All the Action
The AF drive uses TAMRON's fastest and most precise VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. It excels at tracking fast-moving subjects, making it ideal for skateboarding, dance performances, and other dynamic scenes. With exceptional subject tracking, this zoom captures fast action with reliability. The quiet operation also makes it perfect for concerts, weddings, and other noise-sensitive environments, ensuring smooth performance for both stills and video shooting.

The short working distance (approx. 2.8-7.1"/7-18cm) makes it perfect for tabletop and indoor photography, even in tight spaces. Take advantage of the expansive perspective for dramatic compositions or get up close to create stunning subject isolation with beautifully blurred backgrounds, thanks to the fast F2.8 aperture. Explore the unique and amazing world of ultra wide-angle close-up photography.

Compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility Software
The 16-30mm F2.8 G2 is compatible with the dedicated TAMRON Lens Utility software (for PC and Android OS) that was developed in-house by TAMRON. TAMRON Lens Utility for mobile is especially useful for outdoor shooting. This software enables users to assign practical functions to the lens for both video and still photography using a PC, smartphone or tablet, providing true customization. Designed to be intuitive and easy to use, TAMRON Lens Utility increases lens functionality and elevates your creative experience. The PC version also allows you to update your lens firmware.

Additional Key Tamron Lens Utility Features of the 16-30mm F2.8 G2

Astro Focus Lock (Astro FC-L) Supports Precise Astrophotography
The Focal Point will automatically be fixed at infinity to maintain the focus point for astrophotography.

Select AF/MF
By assigning this function to the focus set button, switching between AF/MF is attained. This makes operation easier when shooting scenes that require frequent use of AF/MF switching.

Unified 67mm Filter Size
Nearly all TAMRON mirrorless lenses have a 67mm filter size. This allows you to use the same filter among a wide range of lenses. PL and ND filters are typically expensive, so sharing saves money. Additionally, this eliminates the need to search for caps with different diameters when switching lenses. All lenses in this series are compact, lightweight, and extremely portable, making it easier when carrying multiple lenses at the same time.

Comfortable Ergonomic Design for Ease of Use

Enhanced Exterior Surface
Our engineers carefully considered the structure and all key parts right down to the finest details, resulting in an enhanced design that updates both operation and ergonomic considerations. The surface of the lens exterior is shiny and glossy black. Improved abrasion resistance makes the lens harder to scratch and resists fingerprints. The material on the zoom and focus rings are also updated to offer better grip performance with deeper grooves. The smoothly curved, glossy surface of the brand ring creates a dignified appearance with a design that signifies functional beauty and high quality.

Zoom Ring, Focus Ring: Improved Grip Texture and Smoother Overall Operation
The smooth ring operation featured on the 16-30mm F2.8 G2 (Model A064), is inherited and offers the enhanced ring torque with comfortable resistance from the zoom and focus ring. Compared to the 1st-generation, operation is further refined. By carefully choosing the right material in the internal mechanism, adjustments are now smoother and more precise, allowing for effortless, accurate control over focus and zoom.

Circular Aperture
A 9-blade diaphragm is configured to retain a smooth, circular-shaped aperture opening even when stopped down by two stops from the wide-open aperture. This produces a smooth-edged bokeh in background highlights.

BBAR-G2 Coating
TAMRON has long been an innovator of coating technologies that prevent ghosting and flare. Second-generation BBAR-G2 Coating is a groundbreaking advancement that provides vastly improved performance compared to the original BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating. The coating corrects for ghosting and flare to an unprecedented extent and renders fine subject detail with true clarity and stunning contrast even under backlit conditions.

Moisture-Resistant Seal
For greater protection when shooting outdoors, leak-resistant seals throughout the lens barrel help protect your equipment. The Connector Port is the water-proofed USB Type-C variety.

Fluorine Coating
The front surface of the lens element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that is water- and oil-repellent. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints.
