Tamron 24mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M 1:2 Lens for Sony E

Presenting a fresh perspective on a well-regarded wide-angle focal length, the Tamron 24mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M 1:2 is a compact and lightweight prime lens tailored for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, this lens maintains a remarkably slim profile, making it particularly suitable for travel photography. Additionally, its versatility is enhanced by a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, allowing for half life-size images, and a minimum focusing distance of 4.7 inches, which facilitates effective close-up work.

Minimum Object Distance

A significant attribute that enhances the appeal of this lens is its exceptional capability for capturing close-up images. This lens allows you to approach a subject more closely than you might have previously thought possible. At a minimum object distance of 0.12m (4.7 in), it achieves a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. You will no longer experience the frustration of being unable to get near a subject while photographing. This outstanding functionality enables users to craft compositions that take advantage of dramatic perspective, where nearer subjects appear larger and those further away seem smaller, a characteristic distinctive to wide-angle lenses. By positioning yourself close to a subject, you can create a unique photograph and utilize the aesthetically pleasing blurred background bokeh.

Extra Wide-Angle

This lens offers exceptional optical performance and superior image quality, attributes that are consistently sought after in a prime, fixed focal length lens. The meticulous arrangement of the LD and GM specialized glass elements effectively minimizes aberrations, including chromatic aberrations. Tamron’s proprietary BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating mitigates ghosting and flare, which can occur when photographing against bright light sources. Furthermore, by utilizing the features of your camera body, it provides high-resolution performance across the entire frame, optimizing the capabilities of the latest high-megapixel cameras. Whether capturing street scenes, expansive landscapes, or architectural subjects, this lens produces remarkably sharp, vibrant, and aesthetically pleasing images, assisting you in achieving your creative goals.

AF Precision

The AF drive utilizes an advanced OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) technology to guarantee quiet performance. The noise generated during operation has been significantly diminished due to an enhanced and optimized AF unit. Furthermore, the accuracy and speed of the autofocusing mechanism have been improved to maintain precise focus on subjects in continuous motion.
