Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 Di III VXD for Sony E

Revolutionary Transtandard for photo and video

The most manageable 20mm wide angle in its class

This lens redefines the category of bright standard zoom lenses: born of the desire to create a practical, easy-to-carry ultra-wide angle zoom for Sony E, the 20-40mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (model A062) is exceptional in many ways. It offers a constant F/2.8 aperture across the entire focal length range, and is particularly compact and light with a length of only 86.5mm and a weight of 365g. While the 40mm standard focal length is particularly suitable for everyday photos, portraits and food photography, the 20mm ultra-wide angle is ideal for confined interiors and landscapes with an accentuated depth effect. With four LD (Low Dispersion) lenses, two GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lenses and a hybrid aspherical lens, the lens has several special elements that correct optical aberrations and achieve an ideal balance between compact size and high image quality. The large aperture of F/2.8 allows for a superb bokeh effect.

Features and functions

Impressive video and selfies at 20mm and fast, accurate autofocus
The 20-40mm F/2.8 is particularly recommended for video recording. Not only is it very compact, but it is also perfectly balanced when used with a hybrid camera, for example when used with a gimbal stabiliser. This makes it the ideal choice for vloggers and video content creators. Another advantage of the 20mm wide-angle lens is the framing, which allows you to see a large part of the background when taking selfies. In addition, the autofocus system is equipped with a powerful VXD linear motor that ensures fast and accurate focusing and AF tracking of moving subjects.

Focus distance of just 0.17m for spectacular close-ups
An ultra-wide-angle lens offers unique creative possibilities thanks to its wide field of view. The closer the camera is to the subject, the more dramatic the depth effect. For example, the 20-40mm F/2.8 lens can focus on the subject at only 0.17m at 20mm, which corresponds to a magnification ratio of 1:3.8. These close-up capabilities make it ideal for creative pattern compositions.

TAMRON Lens Utility
The 20-40mm F/2.8 is compatible with the TAMRON Lens Utility software. This software has been developed by TAMRON to allow customization of various camera lens settings. For example, it is possible to adjust the functionality of the focus ring or, if necessary, to update the lens firmware. The Lens Utility software allows the lens performance to be adjusted for each shooting situation. The adaptability of the lens can be fully exploited.
