Ultra-wide zoom for Nikon Z

The Tamron 16-30mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 covers an expanded 16 to 30mm range on full-frame Nikon Z cameras. It targets landscape, architecture and astrophotography shooters who need a wider field of view than a standard zoom provides. The constant f/2.8 aperture supports low-light work and shallow depth of field for video creators.

Compact constant-aperture design

At 16-30mm the lens maintains a fixed f/2.8 aperture across the zoom, freeing the shooter from exposure shifts when reframing. Its lightweight construction keeps the overall kit portable for travel and everyday carry. The lens mounts directly to the Nikon Z bayonet and works with the Tamron Lens Utility for function customisation.

VXD autofocus under sustained use

The VXD linear motor drives focus quickly and quietly during extended video takes or burst sequences. It tracks moving subjects without the hunting that can appear in long sessions. Optical performance holds resolution to the edges, preserving detail in wide scenes even after continuous operation.

Questions about this item

How does the 16 mm wide end change what fits in the frame compared with the 17 mm predecessor?

The 1 mm wider angle lets you include more foreground in landscapes and architecture without stepping back, which is useful in tight interiors or for dramatic astro compositions.

Does the VXD autofocus motor stay quiet and cool during long video takes?

The VXD linear motor is designed for quiet, high-speed focusing and runs without audible drive noise, making it suitable for continuous recording sessions.

Which camera mount must the body already have for this lens to attach?

The lens is built for the Nikon Z mount, so the camera body must use that same bayonet system.
