Tamron sp 15 30mm f 2 8 di vc usd g2 vs canon 16 35mm f 2 8?

I can't compare these two properly, because cist1 doesn't have a page for the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8, so I can't tell you how it stacks up. What I can tell you about the Tamron is that it's a full-frame f/2.8 zoom covering 15-30mm, it's stabilised and autofocus, and it comes in Canon EF and Nikon F mounts. On APS-C it frames like 24-48mm on Canon or 22-45mm on Nikon.

For wide landscapes, a zoom in this range is the classic choice, and the Landscape guide explains why you'll often shoot at f/8 to f/11 anyway, which makes f/4 zooms a lighter, cheaper option. Check the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 page for its full camera list before you decide.
