Available ✅ Condition: Used Tamron lens for Canon cameras 15-30mm f/2.8, 2nd generation G2 with vibration compensation About the lens The SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A041) is a wide-angle zoom lens with outstanding image quality, enabling you to capture everything you see. By using specialized glass materials and aspherical lens elements in the new A041 model, Tamron engineers have minimized distortion and lateral chromatic aberration, which can be problematic in wide-angle photography. The lens also features a triple-layer coating system, including newly developed AX Coating (Anti-Reflective Coating), eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency Coating), and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflective) coatings, all working together to deliver clear, high-quality images. The A041 model features high-precision autofocus technology and a robust VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism. A rear filter holder (for Canon EF-mount only) is included as standard, making filter usage much easier. In addition to being moisture-resistant, advanced features such as the newly developed Fluorine Coating make it possible to shoot in virtually any shooting condition. Tamron upgrades its legendary ultra-wide zoom lenses The SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A012) is a lens designed for full-frame DSLR cameras, praised by photography enthusiasts worldwide. To further enhance this legacy of high-quality optics, new features have been added to create the next-generation model, the SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 (Model A041). The integration of an XGM (eXpanded Glass Molded) element along with multiple LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements delivers high-resolution images throughout the entire zoom range. The newly developed AX Coating enables sharp image capture Tamron's revolutionary new AX Coating (Anti-Reflection eXpand) is achieved through the company's proprietary deposition technology, overcoming the difficulty of applying uniform coating using conventional techniques. Now, the coating can be applied evenly up to the edge, even on strongly curved convex surfaces. As a result, reflection and color rendering at the periphery of the lens element match those at the center. The new AX Coating, particularly effective for wide-angle lenses prone to unwanted peripheral light, reduces flare and ghosting, enhancing overall image clarity. Excellent AF performance and image stabilization bring out the lens's optical capabilities To fully utilize the lens's optical performance, precise and accurate focusing control is essential. To this end, the lens incorporates a dual microprocessor unit (dual MPU system), with two dedicated MPUs—one for controlling the lens system including autofocus, and the other for handling image stabilization compensation. Autofocus speed and accuracy have been improved, and image stabilization performance has been significantly enhanced, achieving up to 4.5 stops according to CIPA standards. Blur commonly occurring in low-light conditions is effectively controlled. High-precision AF enables capturing still shots The AF drive uses Tamron's proprietary USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) technology, delivering high torque, fast response, and quiet operation. Manual focus adjustments can be made using the full-time manual focus override system. The VC mechanism provides strong support for handheld shooting The A041 model features an improved VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism with enhanced image stabilization performance compared to previous versions.
