Description
The new Tamron SP 15-30mm F2.8 Di VC USD G2 Nikon continues the tradition of Tamron's high optical performance, which in the previous model A012 has been praised worldwide by photographers and the trade press.
The integration of an XGM lens element (eXpanded Glass Molded Aspherical) and multiple LD lens elements (Low Dispersion) greatly minimizes distortion and lateral chromatic aberrations that occur so often with wide-angle images. Furthermore, a newly developed AX (Anti-reflection eXpand) coating has been applied to the lens parts to reduce ghosting and flare more thoroughly than ever. The optical performance, of this very bright F/2.8 ultra wide-angle zoom, is already excellent from the focal length of 15mm. In addition, the built-in Tamron Dual MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) provides greatly improved AF speed, AF accuracy and stronger image stabilization. This is a new generation of super high quality, bright ultra-wide-angle zoom, with first-class optics and a wide range of functions that serve to breathe new life into the whole photography experience.
The new Tamron SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 has a moisture-resistant construction making it ideal for outdoor photography. This is realized because a special kit is used with every connection and seam. This sealant material helps to prevent the ingress of dirt, dust and water droplets, a more effective way compared to conventional moisture-resistant constructions. Furthermore, the dirt-repellent coating on the SP 15-30 mm G2 has also been significantly improved compared to the previous model. The front lens is now equipped with a completely new Fluorine Coating, the new components provide an even stronger degree of dirt and oil repellent properties. The lens surface is easier to wipe and is less vulnerable to the harmful effects of dirt, dust, moisture and fingerprints, making this valuable lens continuously and long-term protected.
By applying Tamrons Dual MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) system and an improved AF control algorithm, the Tamron SP 15-30mm G2 has super fast and very accurate autofocus. The AF motor uses the Tamron USD technology (Ultrasonic Silent Drive). This ensures a high rotation speed, fast on/off and a very quiet operation. Another big advantage of the Tamron USD motor is that at any time the automatically set distance can be corrected manually, without physically converting the AF/MF switch.
With the current SP 15-30 mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (model A012), Tamron has already released the world's first bright ultra-wide-angle zoom with built-in image stabilization. In the new A041 model, Tamron applies an improved version of its VC image stabilization system, which provides up to 4.5 stop gains when shooting without a tripod (according to CIPA standard). This makes it possible to shoot sharp pictures of a wide range of photographic subjects, including indoor and outdoor shots in low light conditions and shots with shutter speeds, such as landscape photography.
