Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 DI III VXD For Sony E-Mount

Fast, Compact and Versatile Lens

The Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 DI III VXD For Sony E-Mount is an innovative creation of a new standard zoom lens, born from the unbridled desire to produce a compact size that can be carried around easily. It delivers a fast F2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range from 20mm to 40mm and achieves a class-leading compact and lightweight design at just 3.4" and 12.9 oz. At the longest zoom end, the lens offers a standard focal range of 40mm, handy for the everyday shooting of snaps, portraits, and food photos. Meanwhile, at the wide end, the ultra-wide 20mm focal length lets users enjoy a broad range of photography including stunning and powerful natural landscapes that make use of the unique ultra-wide-angle perspective, something that cannot be expressed as readily with a fast-aperture standard zoom lens that starts at 24mm.

Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture

Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture enables you to shoot in difficult lighting conditions, and with a minimum focusing distance of just 6.7", this optic delivers close-range functionality for dynamic wide-angle macro shots. A VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism provides fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance throughout the zoom range, and the lens also supports Sony's Fast Hybrid AF and Eye AF features with select cameras. Additionally, the lens is compatible with Tamron Lens Utility software for customizing lens functions and updating firmware.

High Image Quality in a Compact Design

The Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 is a compact and powerful lens that packs a punch in terms of image quality. Tamron has packed in a host of unique innovations to make this lens small in size yet big in performance. The lens features 12 elements in 11 groups, including four low-dispersion elements to control light and two glass-moulded aspherical elements that work together to deliver stunning images.

High Precision AF

The compact and lightweight design of the lens makes it easy to handle, especially when shooting video. Whether you're using a camera rig, cage, or gimbal stabilizer, the lens stays well-balanced, making it a great choice for vlogging. The ultra-wide 20mm focal length allows you to capture a wide background when taking selfies. Plus, the lens is equipped with a VXD linear motor focus mechanism for fast and precise autofocus.
