Editorial note

The Tamron SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 stands out for its versatility, offering a focal length of 15-30 mm ideal for capturing vast landscapes or groups. Its maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows for shooting even in low-light conditions while producing a nice background blur. Additionally, the built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp photos and videos, even during movement. However, there are a few drawbacks to consider. Weighing 1100 g, this lens can be cumbersome, especially during long photography sessions. Furthermore, its diameter of 98.4 mm limits the choice of compatible filters, thus restricting some creative options. The price, relatively high compared to other similar lenses, may also deter amateur photographers or those on a limited budget. Finally, its compatibility is primarily focused on Nikon cameras, which may limit its appeal to users of other brands. Overall, the user experience is satisfactory due to its compatibility and solid performance, while its robust and modern design inspires confidence. However, the value for money could be improved to attract a wider audience.
