My favorite lens with an amazingly sharp picture, as I wanted. Funny enough price for quality equipment

Doubtful stabilizer; To be honest, his work is almost not visible; If rapid change in focal length gives off an unpleasant \"plastic\" sound

A very sharp throughout the entire range, specific features in the wide-angle, 15 to 22 mm; Chromatic aberrations are minimal and easy to ruling in DxO; Perfect lens for interior and - especially landscapes; Excellent detail, qualitative study of overexposed parts in the sky.

It didn't take us very long to realize that this lens is a clear competitor for the Canon 16–35mm 2.8 II lens, as one of the few wide-angle lenses on the market...

The ultra-wide angle full frame compatible zoom lens field is becoming ever more crowded and it requires a special lens to grab significant attention today. The Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Lens has done just that.

It's inexpensive for an f/2.8 lens, and has the added bonus of optical stabilisation...
