Tamron, once seen as the go-to for budget glass, has spent the past few years carving out a very different reputation. Its second-generation G2 line has quietly become a serious option for working photographers, offering sharp optics, compact builds, and pro-level features at prices that still feel within reach.
Now, Tamron has announced the final lens in its fast-aperture zoom trinity – the 16-30mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2. Designed for full-frame Sony E and Nikon Z mirrorless camera systems, this new ultra-wide expands on the popular 17-28mm f/2.8 with a broader focal range, faster autofocus, and improved handling.
