Tamron fast G2 trinity of lenses
The fast Tamron G2 trinity, “Daisangen” is complete with the 16-30mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A064) ultra wide-angle zoom, the 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (Model A063) standard zoom, and now the 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 (Model A065) telephoto zoom. Together, these lenses cover the extremely versatile 16mm to 180mm range, making them ideal for virtually any scene. All three lenses share a 67mm filter diameter, ensuring portability and convenience. Even when carried together, their total weight is just 1.8 kg minimizing fatigue during extended shoots. Plus, with a constant fast F2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range, they deliver consistent high image quality, fast shutter speeds and beautiful bokeh in any situation. They are the perfect blend of performance and functionality, making professional-level photography more accessible than ever.
