Photography in Good Company
Tamron announces the new 16–30 mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 full-frame zoom for Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount cameras. This sleek, ultra-wide lens joins the well-regarded “G2 Trinity,” alongside the 28–75 mm and 70–180 mm f/2.8 G2 lenses, offering complete 16–180 mm coverage with consistent fast-aperture capability.
Key Features
-
Expansive 16–30 mm zoom range with a constant f/2.8 aperture – Perfect for landscapes, architecture, astrophotography, travel and content creation.
-
High-speed VXD linear‑motor autofocus – Delivering fast, silent and precise focusing for both stills and video.
-
Outstanding optics in a compact design – 16 elements in 12 groups, including XLD, LD, and GM glass, with a 9-blade circular diaphragm for smooth bokeh.
-
Close-focus capability – Down to 19 cm (7.5″) at the wide end for creative near-macro work.
-
Durable, user-friendly build – Internal zoom keeps the lens balanced throughout the range. Features moisture-resistant sealing and a fluorine-coated front element, plus ergonomic rings and a USB‑C port compatible with Tamron Lens Utility software.
-
Unified 67 mm filter thread – Conveniently matches other G2 lenses for shared filter use
