- Image stabilization
- Lightweight
- Reasonably priced
Cons
- Good sharpness, but not AS good as the Tamron
- Slower max aperture
You want the Tamron 15-30. Trust me. I prefer this lens to the much more expensive Nikon 14-24 because it has image stabilization which I often need for off-tripod landscapes. Stop looking. This is the one. I also own the Nikkor 16-35 but it stays in the bag more and more often now.
