At the 20mm ultra wide end of the zoom, the focal length allows you to enjoy diverse subjects including landscapes, astro and cityscapes, capturing more in the frame than a classic 24mm wide angle lens.

FABULOUS VIDEOS, VLOGS AND OTHER CONTENT

The compact and lightweight 20-40mm f/2.8 lens delivers excellent handling which is well balanced even when accessories like camera grips or gimbal stabilisers are attached. With this one lens, you won't miss a shot, whether shooting street videography or vast landscapes during travel, as well as selfies that include expansive backgrounds.

HIGH IMAGE QUALITY

The Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E mount has an optical design with 12 elements arranged in 11 groups. These include four LD (Low Dispersion), two GM (Glass Moulded Aspherical) and one Hybrid Aspherical lens element. This generous arrangement of special lens elements strikes a balance between high image quality and the compact size. Another feature is the beautifully soft defocus blur effects and circular bokeh that are unique to the fast f/2.8 aperture from the 9 circular diaphragm blades, which remain circular for around 2-stops from f/2.8.

FAST AND ACCURATE VXD LINEAR MOTOR

Tamron’s highly accomplished VXD linear motor focus mechanism delivers high-speed, high-precision AF which enables the lens to respond with quick focusing, from near to infinite. The lens provides excellent focus tracking with moving objects so that you never miss those important moments and the AF mechanism is extremely quiet, perfectly suited for both stills and video in conditions that warrant silent operation.
