ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Expanding on the popular 17-28mm model, this next-generation ultra wide-angle zoom offers a broader 16-30mm range, enhanced autofocus performance and refined ergonomics - all while maintaining a compact, lightweight design.

Designed for Nikon Z-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, the lens weighs just 450g and measures 103.9mm in length, making it ideal for travel, landscape, architecture, street photography and video content creation.

With a constant f/2.8 aperture, advanced optics and Tamron's high-speed VXD linear motor autofocus, this lens delivers outstanding image quality, smooth operation and versatile creative potential.

KEY FEATURES

• Expanded 16-30mm Zoom Range - Ultra wide to natural perspective flexibility.
