The Original Tamron SP 15-30 mm f/2.8 Di VC USD was the world’s first full frame ultra-wide angle zoom lens with built-in vibration control, the new G2 version of the lens introduces up to 4.5 stop of stabilisation so you can capture handheld images at slower shutter speeds. Combined with an ultra-bright f/2.8 constant aperture and super versatile zoom range this makes the lens perfectly suited for low-light and event photography or video shooting.

Benefitting the optical assets, performance and handling is enhanced through the use of dual MPUs (Micro-Processing Unit), which ensure fast and reliable image stabilisation and autofocus. Vibration Compensation accounts for up to 4.5 stops of camera shake, to result in sharper images when shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds. Conversely, a USD motor provides quick and quiet autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus override. Additionally, the lens body is weather-sealed and moisture resistant, and the front element features a protective fluorine coating to guard against dust and smearing.

Ultra-wide zoom is designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, however can also be used with DX models where it provides a 22.5-45mm equivalent focal length range.

Bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture affords consistent brightness throughout the zoom range, and benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.

Three LD (low dispersion) elements are featured in the optical design to noticeably limit colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and colour fidelity.

Two glass-molded aspherical elements and one XGM (eXpanded Glass Molded Aspherical) element help to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range to deliver notable sharpness and accurate rendering.

An AX coating has been to the convex surface of large, curved elements and both eBAND and BBAR coatings have also been applied to individual elements to suppress ghosting and lens flare for improved contrast and colour accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.

VC image stabilisation helps to minimise the appearance of camera shake by up to 4.5 stops for more effective handheld shooting in difficult lighting conditions.

An Ultrasonic Silent Drive autofocus motor delivers quick and precise focusing performance to suit working with moving subjects. This motor also affords full-time manual focus control, and it is possible to focus on subjects as close as 11" away.

Dual dedicated MPUs (Micro-Processing Unit) are used—one for autofocus, one for VC—to ensure fast, responsive focusing and stabilisation performance.

A moisture-resistant construction benefits this lens' use in inclement conditions, and a fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens element to protect against dust, dirt, and smearing.

Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Integrated rear filter holder permits working with cut gel-type filters.

Compatible with optional TAP-in Console for fine-tuning select focusing adjustments and for updating lens firmware.
