Tamron has some ultra-exciting news! They've announced the ultra-wide-angle Tamron 12-20mm f2.8 Di III VXD zoom lens for Sony E-mount and Nikon Z mount! It has a bright, fast F2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range for stunning astrophotography and interior shooting. However, the defining feature is its ultra-wide focal range, from 12mm to 20mm, which offers dynamic expression with an overwhelming perspective that only 12mm can capture. Of course, you have to check out Dave's TCSTV first impressions to see how this lens performs in the real world.
Tamron’s 12-20mm f2.8 Di III VXD zoom lens for Sony E-mount and Nikon Z mount is equipped with an XGM (eXpanded Glass Moulded Aspherical) lens element, complemented by three GM (Glass Moulded Aspherical) lens elements and other specialized components designed to effectively suppress peripheral blurring and colour fringing while correcting sagittal coma flare. The result is superb sharpness from the centre of the frame all the way to the edges. Despite its high-end imaging performance, the lens is compact and easy to handle. At just 119.3mm (4.7 in) long and 570g (20.2oz) in weight, it provides an optimal blend of portability and professional-grade quality. Its autofocus system uses VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) technology, delivering fast and precise focus. Additionally, with a Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 0.18m (7.1 in) at the 12mm wide angle, this lens supports impressive close-up photography for more creative options.
