Tamron's new wide-angle zoom adds more range and refined autofocus
When you use DPReview links to buy products, the site may earn a commission. Tamron has announced the 16-30mm F2.8 Di III VXD G2, a wide-angle full-frame zoom lens for Sony E mount and Nikon Z mount. It slots into the company's fast zoom lineup alongside its 28-75mm and 70-180mm F2.8 G2 lenses. Tamron says the lens is a sequel to its 17-28mm F2.8 Di III RXD from 2019. Compared to that lens, the G2 obviously has a slightly wider zoom range and includes updates to the autofocus system. The older model used a stepper motor, while the new one uses the company's "VXD" linear motors. There's a single customizable function button. The body is also moisture-resistant and includes a USB-C port that you can use to connect it to Tamron's lens customization software. The lens has a 67mm filter, the same as Tamron's 28-75mm and 70-180mm F2.8 lenses. Optically, the 16-30mm F2.8 Di III VXD G2 has 16 elements in 12 groups and a 9-blade aperture that Tamron says is "almost perfectly circular up to two stops down from" its max setting. At the wide end, it has a minimum focusing distance of 0.19m (7.5"), and at the long end, it can focus on objects as close as 0.3m (11.8"), giving a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:5.4. The lens will retail for $929; that's $30 more than the previous model, though given the extra range and faster autofocus system, that's hard to complain about. It will be available for E mount on July 31 and for Z mount on August 22nd.
