TAMRON SP 15-30 mm F/2.8 Di VC USD for Canon

The new 15-30mm F/2.8 full-frame ultra-wide-angle zoom is a worthy addition to the Tamron SP (Super Performance) lens series, renowned for its highest standards. Because the large diameter and prominent convex profile of the front element does not allow the use of a protective filter, the front element of the lens has a fluorine coating. The coating repels water and dirt, and also makes it much easier to remove smudges.Responding to the demand for a wide-angle lens suited for handheld shooting at slow shutter speeds, Tamron has created the world's first F/2.8 ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with image stabilization. The result is a lens able to capture sharp images even when shooting handheld under low light conditions. Thanks to its large F/2.8 aperture, this lens lets you soften the foreground or background to dramatically emphasize the subject. It can also capture wide-macro effects with its minimum focus distance of 0.28m over the entire focal-length range

SP stands for Super Performance and represents the high-performance lens class from Tamron. Our engineers were given a free hand in the design of these lenses and left no stone unturned to produce the optimal performance characteristics in each case. Vibration Compensation enhances photo opportunities and compensates for camera shake. You won't need a tripod. 

Main features:

• Support VC stabilization for shooting in poor light
• Ultrasonic Silent Drive for fast and accurate autofocus
• "Bokeh" at the widest aperture F / 2.8
• XGM and LD (Low Dispersion) Lens element for greater image sharpness and the correction of chromatic aberration
• eBand Coating and BBAR significantly suppress ghosting and unwanted reflections
• Resistant to the elements. Moisture-resistant construction helps prevent moisture from penetrating the lens.
