The 16-30mm f/2.8 G2 lens features advanced optical design, ensuring high-resolution images paired with visually appealing bokeh. A notable highlight is its Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive (VXD) autofocus system, which provides quick, silent, and precise focusing capabilities.

Additionally, the lens boasts a close focusing distance of just 7.5 inches, allowing photographers to experiment with creative close-up shots, further enhancing its versatility.
Tamron reinforces the lens's durability with moisture resistance and a fluorine coating, which protects against water and oil, making it suitable for various shooting conditions. The lens also accepts 67mm filters and is compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility software, enabling users to customize settings for both photography and videography. This launch completes the "Daisangen" series, which includes the previously released 28-75mm f/2.8 and 70-180mm f/2.8 lenses, forming a cohesive trio of zoom lenses with a consistent f/2.8 maximum aperture. The 16-30mm f/2.8 G2 will be available at the end of July for Sony mounts and in August for Nikon mounts, showcasing Tamron's dedication to providing high-quality and versatile equipment for today's content creators.
In addition to the lens's technical specifications, photographers and videographers can find the 16-30mm f/2.8 G2 prominently featured on B&H's website, emphasizing its market readiness.
