A fast ultra-wide zoom for full-frame DSLRs, covering 15-30mm at a constant f/2.8 with Vibration Compensation and a fast ring-type autofocus motor. Its built-in hood, rear filter mount and moisture-resistant sealing make it a practical landscape and architecture lens. It is large and heavy, and it cannot take front filters, so it competes with first-party f/2.8 ultra-wides on value rather than size. Owners rate it highly for sharpness and stabilization.

Reviewers and owners praise the G2 for sharpness, solid stabilization and build quality at a wide aperture. Most criticism centers on its size and weight and the lack of a front filter thread.
The Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a wide-angle zoom lens with a 15-30mm focal length and a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8. The aperture stops down to f/22 and uses 9 blades. It has a moisture-resistant construction and a black finish.
The optical design has 18 elements in 13 groups. Autofocus uses an internal focusing system, and the lens has image stabilization. The minimum focus distance is 0.28 m across the full zoom range, with a magnification of 0.2x.
The lens has a built-in flower-type hood and a rear filter mount. It is not compatible with Tamron's teleconverters. A lens cap and lens pouch are included.
