The Tamron 16-30mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064) is a high-performance ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, ideal for photographers and videographers who demand optical clarity, speed, and versatility.
With a bright f/2.8 constant aperture, this second-generation G2 lens delivers exceptional low-light performance and beautiful background separation, making it perfect for landscapes, interiors, astrophotography, and video work. The refined zoom range from 16mm to 30mm gives creatives the flexibility to move from expansive vistas to tighter environmental framing with ease.
Autofocus is powered by Tamron’s advanced VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor, ensuring fast, accurate, and near-silent operation—essential for both stills and video. Enhanced focusing capabilities include a minimum focusing distance of just 19cm at 16mm, enabling dramatic wide-angle close-up compositions.
The optical construction features XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) elements, effectively controlling chromatic aberrations and producing edge-to-edge sharpness, even at wide apertures. The G2 redesign also features improved coatings for better control of flare and ghosting in backlit scenes.
With a 67mm filter thread, this lens shares compatibility with other Tamron G2 lenses like the 28-75mm f/2.8 and 70-180mm f/2.8, streamlining your filter workflow. The robust moisture-resistant construction and fluorine-coated front element make it a reliable choice for outdoor shooting.
A built-in USB-C port allows direct connection to Tamron Lens Utility™ software, giving you firmware updates and customizable settings such as focus ring direction or linear/manual focus adjustment, adding a pro-level degree of control and personalisation.
