Tamron SP 15-30MM F/2.8 Di VC USD is a fantastic ultra-wide zoom lens. This lens is a combination of the best of all of the other wide zoom lenses out there, combined into one.
Tamron has a good balance, with high central sharpness wide-open and sharpness improving across the frame on stopping down, and with generally good control of chromatic aberration. On the downside, it has some slight field curvature at 30mm and it has quite high levels of both barrel and pincushion distortion that are more noticeable than the Nikkor equivalents.
Tamron 15-30mm ƒ/2.8 excels when mounted on a sub-frame cameras, where the image sensor doesn't "see" the corner performance of the lens. The lens provides excellent results for sharpness, straight away from ƒ/2.8 and at any focal length. Stopped down to ƒ/4 the lens provides tack-sharp images across the frame.
Anybody have clips of how the VC image stabilization performs on Nikon bodies for video?
