In lens development news, Tamron said it’s creating a new ultra wide-angle zoom lens for full-frame DSLRs with a fast F/2.8 aperture and VC (Vibration Compensation), which the company claims would be the world’s first in this category.

The lens will be called the Tamron SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A012) and the company will showcase a prototype of the optic at the Tamron booth at the photokina show in Cologne, Germany next week.
