The Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a high-performance ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, ideal for landscape, architecture, and interior photography. With a fast f/2.8 aperture, it offers excellent low-light performance and depth-of-field control. Key features include Tamron’s Vibration Compensation (VC) system, which provides up to 4.5 stops of stabilization, ensuring sharp handheld images even in challenging lighting conditions.

The lens also features advanced optical elements, including XGM (eXpand Glass Molded) and LD (Low Dispersion) elements, to minimize distortion and chromatic aberrations while delivering edge-to-edge sharpness. The AX (Anti-reflective eXpand) coating reduces ghosting and flare, enhancing contrast and clarity. Its robust build includes moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine-coated front element for durability in harsh environments.

Additionally, the lens has a quiet and precise Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) autofocus motor, with manual focus override for fine adjustments. For Canon EF-mount users, a rear filter holder is also included, adding flexibility for creative shooting​
