Product Description
Ultra-optimized optics create yet another incredible image
The new SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A041) is a high-speed F/2.8
ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that inherits the outstanding image quality
established from its predecessor, Model A012. By utilizing specialty glass
materials and aspherical lens elements in the new Model A041, Tamron's engineers
have further minimized the distortion and lateral chromatic aberration that can
be an issue with wide-angle shooting. The lens also has triple lens coatings
consisting of the newly developed AX (Antireflection eXpand) Coating, plus eBAND
(Extended Bandwidth & Angular- Dependency) and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection)
Coatings, which all combine to provide sharp and clear images even in peripheral
areas. The Model A041 lens features high precision AF technology and a powerful
VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism. A rear filter holder (for Canon EFmount
only) comes as a standard feature, making the use of filters much easier. As
well as Moisture-Resistant Construction, wide-ranging features such as Fluorine
Coating newly developed enhancing durability, make it possible to shoot under
any type of shooting circumstances
The newly developed AX Coating enables clear images
A new AX (Anti-reflection eXpand) Coating developed by Tamron using
specialized deposition technology has enabled a uniform coating to be applied to
the convex surface of large curvatures lenses, thereby resolving the major
difficulty of applying a uniform coating edge to edge on a strong convex
surface. This AX Coating, coupled with a nanotechnology-based eBAND Coating, and
BBAR Coating, thereby enabling unsurpassed curtailment of ghosting and
consequently enabling superlative, exceptionally clear image edge to edge.
Impressive high AF performance and image stabilization
In order to engage the full optical performance of the lens, it is essential
to control the slightest blur and precise focusing. In this respect, the lens
applies a Dual MPU (Micro-Processing Unit), which includes two dedicated MPUs,
one for lens system control including AF, and the other for vibration
compensation processing. AF speed and precision have been enhanced and image
stabilization has been vastly improved, reaching 4.5 stops according to CIPA
standards. Even for handheld shooting, the blur that often arises in low-light
conditions is effectively controlled
New Fluorine Coating for improved durability
The durability of the front element coating is greatly improved with the
development of new Fluorine Coating. The lens surface is easier to wipe clean
and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture, and
fingerprints. With this improved durability, your important lenses can now be
safely protected on a long-term basis.
The rear filter holder enables greater creative flexibility
A filter holder that allows you to attach gelatin filters to the rear side
of the lens is included as a standard feature (for Canon EF-mount only). You can
now shoot with filters much more easily, traditionally rather difficult when
shooting with ultrawide- angle lenses with large front lens elements.
Moisture-Resistant Construction
For greater protection when shooting outdoors, leak resistant seals
throughout the lens barrel help protect your equipment
