Tamron AFA012N700 SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Wide-Angle Lens for Nikon F(FX) Cameras
Description
The Tamron SP 15-30MM F/2.8 DI VC USD (MODEL A012) offers superb image quality
and performance. Able to cover modern full frame DSLRs, the 15-30 zoom range
offers great versatility in all photographic situations. With an optical
construction of 18 elements in 13 groups and XGM (expanded Glass Molded
Spherical) element placed at the front group and several LD (Low Dispersion)
glass elements in the system, aberrations such as geometrical distortion and
lateral color are efficiently compensated for enabling the zoom lens to
deliver outstanding image quality throughout the entire range from corner to
corner. Due to the large diameter and the prominent convex profile of the
front element, it is not practical to use a protective filter. For the first
time, a fluorine coating is applied to the front element, which repels water
or any type of dirt, while making it easier to remove such smudge when
contaminated. Tamron’s Ultrasonic Silent Drive delivers tack-sharp images due
to the high torque and fast response speed with least amount of lag time, yet
with extremely low acoustic noise. Equipped with a full-time manual focus
mechanism, fine focus adjustments are enabled without exiting from the AF
mode. Natural and smooth blur on the subject background enhances depictive
capabilities of wide-angle photography when a subject is located in the close
distance. The 9-blade diaphragm construction retains a near-circular aperture
opening even when stopped down by two steps from its full open position and
delivers ideal bokeh effects. Recognizing the needs for image stabilization
capability on a wide-angle lens voiced by a number of photographers,
especially for a full-frame, fast F/2.8 ultra-wide-angle zoom lens category,
VC is tuned for providing discernible competence throughout the entire zoom
range. The feature enhances image depicting capabilities for shooting night
scenes and under low light conditions.
