About this model
The Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD is a professional ultra-wide zoom for Canon EF-mount cameras. On a full-frame body it covers a dramatic 15mm to a natural 30mm, ideal for landscapes, architecture, interiors and events. The constant f/2.8 aperture keeps shutter speeds up in low light, while Vibration Compensation steadies handheld shots. The ring-type USD motor focuses quickly and quietly with full-time manual override. Part of Tamron's SP (Super Performance) series, it is built for serious use and pairs well with high-resolution full-frame DSLRs.
