Tamron 12-20mm f/2.8 wide-angle zoom lens for Sony E-mount

The Tamron 12-20mm f/2.8 is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, specifically designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. With its constant aperture of f/2.8, this lens performs excellently even under less than ideal lighting conditions, making it perfect for capturing vast landscapes, impressive starry skies and atmospheric interiors. Despite its powerful performance, the lens remains remarkably compact, which makes it ideal for photographers who like to travel light without compromising on image quality.

The optical construction of 17 elements in 12 groups, including specialised XGM and GM glass elements, effectively corrects image aberrations such as coma and ensures pin-sharp images right into the corners. Advanced AX and BBAR-G2 coatings minimise ghosting and flare, even in direct backlight, for clear and high-contrast shots. The fast and quiet VXD linear focus motor guarantees precise autofocus, both for photography and video recording. With a minimum focusing distance of just 18 centimetres at the 12mm setting, this lens also offers creative possibilities for close-ups with a wide background. The lens is further equipped with a convenient aperture ring with Click ON/OFF switch and an Iris Lock switch for optimal control during filming. The weather-resistant construction with fluorine coating on the front element protects against the elements, and an integrated rear filter holder makes using sheet filters easy.
