Tamron 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Lens Overview

The Tamron 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064) is a second-generation ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras from Sony (E-mount) and Nikon (Z-mount). This lens is part of Tamron's "G2 Trinity" series, offering a constant F2.8 aperture across its zoom range.

Key Features and Improvements:

Expanded Zoom Range: It extends the wide end to 16mm (from 17mm) and the telephoto end to 30mm (from 28mm), providing a broader field of view for enhanced creative expression in various shooting scenarios, from powerful architectural and landscape shots to natural-angle-of-view street and travel photography.

 

Exceptional Optical Performance: Featuring 16 elements in 12 groups, including XLD, LD, and GM lenses, it minimizes aberrations and delivers sharp, high-resolution images throughout the zoom range. The fast F2.8 aperture produces beautiful, dreamy bokeh, enhancing subject sharpness and enabling low-light shooting with less noise. The BBAR-G2 Coating further reduces ghosting and flare.

 

High-Speed, High-Precision AF: Equipped with Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, the lens offers fast and precise autofocus, excelling at tracking fast-moving subjects. Its quiet operation makes it suitable for noise-sensitive environments like concerts and weddings.

 

Lightweight, Compact, and Mobile Design: Despite its expanded zoom and new features like the linear motor and Connector Port, the lens maintains an incredibly lightweight and compact design (440g/15.5oz, 101.8mm/4in length for Sony E-mount), making it ideal for travel, everyday photography, and video content creation. An internal zoom mechanism stabilizes the center of gravity for smooth handheld shooting and vlogging.

 

Versatile Close-Up Photography: With a Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 0.19m (7.5in) at the wide end and 0.3m (11.8in) at the longer end, it provides impressive close-up results with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5.4–1:7. This makes it perfect for tabletop and indoor shots.

 

TAMRON Lens Utility™ Compatibility: This lens is compatible with the dedicated TAMRON Lens Utility software (for PC and Android OS), allowing users to customize functions for both video and still photography, assign practical functions to the lens, and update firmware.

 

Ergonomic Design: Features an enhanced exterior surface with improved abrasion resistance and fingerprint resistance. The zoom and focus rings have updated materials with deeper grooves for better grip and offer smooth, precise operation with comfortable resistance.

 

Unified Filter Size: Like nearly all Tamron mirrorless lenses, it shares a 67mm filter size, offering convenience and cost savings for photographers using multiple lenses.

 

Mirrorless Camera Integration: Supports camera-specific features like Fast Hybrid AF, Eye AF, Direct Manual Focus (DMF), In-camera lens correction, and AF Assist (features vary by camera and mount).

This lens aims to unlock new creative possibilities for photographers and videographers seeking a fast, ultra-wide-angle zoom with exceptional performance and portability.
