Bright f/2.8 aperture, Optical stabilization, Ultra-wide angle of view, Full-frame compatibility, Fluorine coating and all-weather build,
Only sold in Canon and Nikon mount, Bulky, Image quality suffers on high-resolution sensors, Heavy barrel distortion, Nikon version doesn't support rear filters
The Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 lens is a minor update to one of the rare, stabilized ultra-wide zooms, but it doesn't pair well with the highest-resolution cameras...
Excellent resolving power and image quality, good build quality, improved image stabilization, faster autofocusing

AF is reliable and fast, Solid, durable construction, Minimal signs of chromatic aberration on images,
A bit heavy, if you are shooting video with it you will want a tripod. Handheld shooting or shoulder mount shooting for long periods of time isn't ideal, Pricey compared to other Tamron lenses, FINAL THOUGHTS
Overall the Tamron SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a versatile lens for shooters looking for something wide, fast, and durable. We'd also recommend it to vloggers and YouTubers who need an affordable wide-angle lens. The construction of the lens feels so...
Lacklustre sharpness in corners and edges, Noticeable barrel distortion at 15mm
Overall, the G2 edition of Tamron's wide zoom is a worthwhile upgrade over the original, and its optical stabilization is useful for low-light handheld shooting. However, Sigma's 14-24mm f/2.8 Art lens has the edge for image quality...
Is Tamron's SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 lens perfect? As economist David Henderson once said, “the closer you get to perfection the harder it gets to attain it, and this costs more money.” Is the lens perfect enough for real-world photography and maybe...
