Tamron 12–20mm f/2.8 lens, Sony FE

Tamron 12–20mm f/2.8 lens, Sony FE

The Tamron 12–20mm f/2.8 is a fast wide-angle zoom lens for Sony full-frame cameras. It is particularly well-suited to landscape, architectural, astrophotography and video photography when an extremely wide angle of view and a constant f/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range are required.

An extremely wide angle of view for impressive vistas

A 12 mm wide-angle lens emphasises perspective and lends a strong sense of place to your photos. The focal length range is ideal for sweeping landscapes, interiors and architectural subjects where you want to capture a lot of the surroundings in the frame.

Light for low-light conditions and video

The maximum aperture of f/2.8 is maintained throughout the entire 12–20 mm zoom range. This helps when taking photographs in dimly lit interiors, under a starry sky and in other challenging lighting conditions.

Fast focusing and customisable functions

The VXD linear motor focuses quickly, accurately and almost silently, making it ideal for both stills and video photography. Via the USB-C connection, the lens can be linked to the TAMRON Lens Utility software, which allows you to customise the functions of the focus button and the three-position switch.
