The SP symbols in the marking of a Tamron lens indicate that it belongs to the class of optics with improved optical and mechanical characteristics. The model will fit Canon, Nikon and Sony full-frame DSLRs, as well as Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras via the LA-EA4 adapter.

Head up

The f/2.8 aperture is available at all focal lengths. According to this indicator, the lens is head and shoulders above the “native” Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f / 4G ED VR and Canon 16-35mm f / 4L IS USM glasses, while the Sony Vario-Sonnar T * 16-35mm f / 2.8 ZA SSM II, the brainchild of Tamron, wins in terms of a much more affordable cost. Another important advantage of the lens is the presence of a built-in image stabilization system, with which it is possible to get clear handheld shots at shutter speeds up to 1 s.

Resolution

The Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD, without the slightest exaggeration , draws a wonderful picture with excellent sharpness across the entire field of the frame at all apertures and focal lengths. Its resolution provides high-quality results even in conjunction with multi-megapixel cameras (for example, a 50-megapixel Canon EOS 5DS SLR). At the same time, the lens tolerates backlight well, in which it is assisted by the built-in non-removable lens hood.

Strong in everything

A couple of fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey are the huge size of the lens and its heavy weight (1.1 kg), as well as the convex front lens, which is why the design of the model could not include a thread for installing classic filters. Large dimensions limit everyday use of the lens, but there is a place for it everywhere — Tamron SP 15-30mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD is strong both in wedding and reportage shooting, and in interior and landscape photography.
