Photokina 2018: Hands-on with Tamron's 2nd-gen 15-30mm F2.8 lens
Open wide: Tamron's 15-30mm F2.8 G2
In terms of handling, version 2 is nearly identical in size and weight to version 1. At 1100 g, it is not light-weight. Nor is it small, but that's the price of ice when it comes to a stabilized constant-aperture wide-angle full-frame zoom.
Overall we're excited to get the Tamron 15-30mm F2.8 version 2 on a body and start shooting. We were big fans of version 1 and it will be nice to see how all these improvements affect overall image quality and the shooting experience. Stay tuned for a sample gallery!
