Independent tests show the Tamron to be more or less equal with the Nikkor, but can brag with VC, witch the Nikkor doesn’t have.Ī couple of things I’ve noticed with the design of this Tamron lens, it’s the shape and position of the switches. That said, the lens is superb and one of the best wide angle zooms available, competing with the legendary Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8. The look of the lens falls a little in-between the old style with golden markings and the new somewhat futuristic “G2-style”, in fact the style of the lens is only shared with the 18-300 VC, 28-300 VC and the 16-300 VC, making it almost unfamiliar in the Tamron world. This lens was released in 2015, slightly too early to be compatible with the Tap-In Console (released in 2016), but still it was the world first wide angle zoom lens to incorporate stabilization in form of Tamron’s VC, Vibration Control. To be clear, this Tamron 15-30 f/2.8 VC is not compatible with the Tamron Tap-In Console, so no values can be altered or entered into the lens! But this doesn’t mean I can’t see how the focus behaves at different apertures, focal lengths and focus distances. I’ve been hesitating a little bit if I should even post this or not, as it doesn’t add much in its own, but should be seen together with the other Tamron lens posts I’ve made.
