The Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A2 RXD is a fast-aperture ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. The lens features the world’s first f/2.8 maximum aperture for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless in this category, and an amazing compact and lightweight design. The lens is so lightweight and compact that it’s hard to believe it’s a fast-aperture ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. When used with a compatible Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless camera body, you’ll also find it easy to shoot video using a compact tripod or gimbal. Special lens elements are optimally arranged to suppress optical aberrations and to produce clear images for high-resolution performance. Also, the MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15m (5.9 inches) at the widest end and 0.24m (9.4 inches) at the 20mm end allows you to get closer to a subject than you ever imagined. The lens incorporates a fast precision AF drive system with an RXD (Rapid- eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit. The 11-20mm f/2.8 will expand your enjoyment of shooting by combining excellent portability with the ability to capture images unique to fast-aperture ultra-wide-angle lenses. This lens accepts 67mm filters.

Indulge in the Exciting World of Wide-Angle Macro with a MOD of 0.15m

The MOD is just 0.15 m (5.9 inches) at the widest end. This extreme close-range shooting performance allows you to get as close to a subject as you like. The maximum magnification ratio is 1:4 and it unlocks powerful wide-angle macro shooting utilizing the unique perspective that makes near objects look larger and distant objects smaller. Additionally, using the f/2.8 maximum aperture produces a shallower depth-of-field that creates soft bokeh in the background, allowing users to take distinctive images with unique expressions.

Outstanding Optical Performance

The 11-20mm f/2.8 construction includes 12 elements in 10 groups. Two precisely located GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements assure high resolution across the entire image, from edge to edge. In addition, the 11-20mm f/2.8 incorporates one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and two LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements to produce sharp images with optical aberrations highly corrected. It also features the BBAR-G2 coating that suppresses ghosting and flare to a minimum level and reveals the minute details of objects even when the subject is backlit. The combination of features harmonizes to provide sharp images with natural colors and rich saturation.

Compact and Lightweight for Superior Usability

The 11-20mm f/2.8 is only 3.4 inches in length and weighs just 11.8 oz. For a fast-aperture f/2.8 ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, this is remarkably compact and light. When used with an APS-C mirrorless camera body, it enables photographers to enjoy a responsive image capture system without being hindered by the size or weight of the lens. It provides a comfortable user experience for still photography and for shooting video using a small tripod or gimbal stabilizer.
