Tamron has unveiled the 16-30mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2, completing its trinity of f/2.8 zoom lenses for mirrorless cameras. The wide-angle zoom joins the existing 28-75mm and 70-180mm f/2.8 lenses in what Tamron calls its “Daisangen” collection. According to the company, the lens features an updated optical design aimed at delivering high resolution across the frame while maintaining consistent f/2.8 performance throughout the zoom range. At just under one pound (453 g), the 16-30mm maintains the compact profile that has characterized Tamron’s G2 series. Key Specifications The 16-30mm covers ultra-wide to moderate wide-angle focal lengths on full-frame sensors, with an aperture range from f/2.8 to f/16. Tamron’s Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive (VXD) linear motor handles autofocus duties, providing quiet operation for video work. Close focusing reaches 7.5 inches (19.05cm) at the wide end, enabling near-macro capabilities for environmental portraits and creative compositions. The lens accepts 67mm filters and features moisture-resistant construction with fluorine coating on the front element. Tamron 16-30mm.

Both versions support full autofocus functionality and communication with their respective camera systems. Users can customize lens functions through Tamron’s Lens Utility software, which allows adjustment of focus ring behavior, focus limiter settings, and other operational parameters for both photo and video applications.
