Tamron 15-30mm SP f2.8 Di VC USD G2

Lens Tamron 15-30mm f2.8

Covering a versatile range of ultra-wide angle focal lengths, the NIKON F-mount SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 from TAMRON enhances this wide zoom with sophisticated optics, focus and image stabilization. The optical design, which helps to obtain sharp and clear images, incorporates aspherical and low-dispersion glass elements to reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range. A trio of coatings—AX, eBAND, and BBAR—have also been applied to suppress lens flare and ghosting to improve contrast and color reproduction when working in bright light and backlit conditions.

The benefit of optical assets, performance and handling is enhanced through the use of dual MPUs (Microprocessing Unit), which ensure fast and reliable image stabilization and autofocus. Vibration Compensation represents up to 4.5 stops of camera motion, for sharper images when shooting the handheld at slower shutter speeds. By contrast, a USD motor provides fast and quiet autofocus performance, as well as full-time manual focus override. In addition, the lens body is weather-sealed and moisture-resistant, and the front element features a protective layer of fluoride to protect against dust and stains.

• The ultra-wide zoom is designed for F-mount cameras NIKON of FX format, however, it can also be used with DX models where it provides an equivalent focal length range of 22.5-45mm.
• The bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture delivers constant brightness throughout the zoom range and benefits from working in difficult lighting conditions.
• Three LD (low dispersion) elements are presented in the optical design to markedly limit color stripes and chromatic aberrations for greater clarity and color fidelity.
• Two molded glass aspherical elements and an XGM (eXpanded glass molded aspherical) element help reduce spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range to deliver remarkable sharpness and accurate rendering.
• An AX coating has been applied to the convex surface of large, curved elements, and eBAND and BBAR coatings have also been applied to individual elements to suppress ghosting and lens flare to improve contrast and color accuracy when working in bright lighting conditions.
• VC image stabilization helps minimize the occurrence of camera shake by up to 4.5 stops for more effective shooting in harsh lighting conditions.
• The Silent Drive ultrasonic autofocus motor delivers fast and accurate focusing performance to suit working with moving subjects. This motor also allows full-time manual focus control, and it is possible to focus subject to as little as 11" away.
• Dual dedicated MPUs (Microprocessing Unit), one for autofocus and one for VC, are used to ensure fast, responsive focusing and stabilization performance.
• A moisture-resistant construction benefits the use of this lens in inclement conditions, and a fluorine coating has also been applied to the front element of the lens to protect it against dust, dirt and stains.
• The rounded nine-leaf diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.
• Compatible with the optional TAP-in console to fine-tune focus settings and to update lens firmware.
