TAMRON 12-20mm F/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E-Mount

Product Description

The Tamron 12-20mm F/2.8 Di III VXD is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. With an expansive 12mm wide end and a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, it is suited to landscape photography, architecture, interiors, nightscapes, astrophotography, and creative video production.

The lens features Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor autofocus system for fast, precise, and quiet focusing. Its optical construction uses 17 elements in 12 groups to support detailed image reproduction across the zoom range.

With a minimum focusing distance of 0.18m at the wide end, the lens allows photographers to combine close foreground subjects with dramatic wide-angle backgrounds. Its integrated flower-shaped hood, rear filter holder, and compact design make it a versatile option for photographers seeking an ultra-wide lens with a bright constant aperture.
