Summary:
Infinitely clear images, high quality AF and image stabilization bring out the intrinsic potential of the lens. The new SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VS USD G2 (Model A041) is a high-speed F/2.8 ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that inherits the outstanding image quality established from its predecessor, Model A012. By utilizing specialty glass materials and aspherical lens elements in the new Model A041, Tamron’s engineers have further minimized the distortion and lateral chromatic aberration that can be an issue with wide-angle shooting. The lens also has triple lens coatings consisting of the newly developed AX (Anti-reflection eXpand) Coating, plus eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti- Reflection) Coatings, which all combine to provide sharp and clear images even in peripheral areas. The Model A041 lens features high precision AF technology and a powerful VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism that provides 4.5 stops (CIPA-rated). A rear filter holder (for Canon EF-mount only) comes as a standard feature, making the use of filters much easier, and features such as Moisture-Resistant Construction and a newly developed Fluorine Coating with enhanced durability, enhance your confidence in shooting under adverse conditions.
