Tamron 12-20mm f/2.8 Lens Compatible with E Mount (FULL FRAME) Bundled with Lens Cap Keeper + Cleaning Kit - Blower, Lens Pen, Brush & Case + Cleaning Cloth (4 Items)
The Tamron 12-20mm F2.8 is characterized by its ultra-wide focal range, spanning from 12mm to 20mm. The expansive 12mm perspective allows for a dynamic expression that appears to "capture the entire expanse of a scene." With a consistent F2.8 aperture maintained throughout the zoom range, this lens is set to become the "new protagonist" in astrophotography and interior photography. The optical system features an XGM (eXpanded Glass Molded Aspherical) lens element, three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements, and several special lens elements. This configuration effectively minimizes peripheral blurring and color fringing while addressing sagittal coma flare — a frequent issue in astrophotography — thereby ensuring high sharpness from the center to the extreme edges of the frame.
In spite of its remarkable imaging capabilities, the lens strikes a refined balance between size and weight. While it is compact, it remains a professional-grade instrument equipped with various switches and rings for enhanced operability. For autofocus, the lens is equipped with the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), a high-speed, high-precision linear motor focus mechanism. Additionally, with a Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 7.1” (0.18m) at the 12mm wide end, the lens provides exceptional close-up performance, allowing for creative versatility.
