ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The Tamron A064 16-30mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 completes Tamron's fast G2 trinity for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Expanding on the acclaimed 17-28mm predecessor, this next-generation ultra wide-angle zoom delivers a broader 16-30mm range, improved autofocus performance, enhanced ergonomics and outstanding optical quality - all in a compact, lightweight design.

Designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, the lens maintains excellent portability at just 440g and 101.8mm in length. Its internal zoom mechanism keeps the lens balanced during handheld shooting, vlogging or gimbal use.

With a constant f/2.8 aperture, high-resolution optics and Tamron's fast VXD linear motor autofocus, this lens is ideal for landscapes, architecture, travel, street photography, events and video content creation.

KEY FEATURES

• Expanded 16-30mm Ultra Wide Zoom - Greater creative flexibility from dramatic wide to natural perspective.
• Constant f/2.8 Aperture - Beautiful bokeh and strong low-light performance.
• VXD Linear Motor AF - Fast, precise and quiet autofocus for stills and video.
• Internal Zoom Design - Stable balance for handheld and gimbal shooting.

OPTICAL PERFORMANCE

The 16-30mm f/2.8 G2 features an advanced optical construction of 16 elements in 12 groups, including:

• 1 × XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) element
• 2 × LD (Low Dispersion) elements
• 3 × GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) elements

This design minimizes chromatic aberration and distortion while delivering sharp, high-resolution images throughout the zoom range.

The BBAR-G2 coating reduces ghosting and flare, ensuring clarity in backlit conditions. The fast aperture produces smooth, natural bokeh for subject isolation in both wide-angle and close-up photography.
