Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD

(7 customer reviews)

The lens has a high-quality build, with a robust and durable construction. It has a moisture-resistant design, which is helpful for outdoor photography in harsh weather conditions. The lens has a unique optical design, with 18 elements in 13 groups, including aspherical and low dispersion glass elements, which helps to minimize distortion and chromatic aberration. The lens also has a special coating to reduce ghosting and flare, which can be a problem when shooting in bright sunlight or with strong light sources in the frame.

The lens has a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8, which is useful for low-light photography and creating a shallow depth of field. The lens produces a nice bokeh, which is the quality of the out-of-focus areas in a photo. The lens can be used in both autofocus and manual focus modes, which gives photographers more control over their shots. The lens has a fast and accurate autofocus system, which is helpful for capturing fast-moving subjects.

Overall, the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD is a high-quality photo lens with excellent optics and build quality. It is a great alternative to more expensive lenses from other manufacturers, and it is a good choice for photographers who need a wide-angle zoom lens for their full-frame camera. The lens is also useful for landscape, architecture, and interior photography, as well as for capturing events and portraits. The lens takes a bit of time to manufacture, but the result is worth the wait.
