Loading product options
The Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 Di III VC VXD for Sony is a fast-aperture Sony E-mount zoom lens that will change your mind about standard zooms. The lens starts from 20mm at the ultra wide-angle end and covers up to 40mm in the standard focal range while offering class-leading compact size and light weight. The new lens is ideal for everything from casual snaps and family events to landscapes captured with natural composition and perspective, and even indoor photography in tight quarters, using the ultra wide-angle.
Despite its compact body, special lens elements including four LD (Low Dispersion) and two GM (Glass Molded aspherical) lens elements help produce high optical performance. The lens features a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture enabling you to shoot in difficult lighting conditions, and with a minimum focusing distance of just 17cm, 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.
These exciting features are brought together into a super-compact package, making the 20-40mm F2.8 a lens that lets you enjoy hassle-free shooting. The exceptional portability and light weight of this fast F2.8 lens means you’ll always want it with you as you pursue a joyful world of photographic encounters.
This new zoom comes highly recommended for video shooting because the lens remains well-balanced when using a camera rig or gimbal stabilizer. So it’s an excellent choice for vloggers and video content creators. One advantage of the 20mm wide angle is that users can incorporate a broad expanse of the background when selfie shooting. What’s more, the AF drive system is equipped with the VXD2 linear motor focus mechanism. The motor providing speedy, pinpoint focusing, has excellent focus tracking performance and allows you to track movement.
Unique wide macro shooting at close-up distances emphasizes perspective to heighten the impact of a composition, and it’s only possible with an ultra wide-angle. An MOD of 0.17m (6.7 in) at the 20mm wide end with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.8 produces rich and dynamic imagery that brings out the finest details of the subject and gives you another avenue of creativity.
The 20-40mm F2.8 is compatible with the dedicated TAMRON Lens Utility software that was developed in-house by TAMRON. Users can customize focus ring settings and update to the latest firmware when necessary. Customization helps facilitate various shooting styles of still photography and videography, thereby providing a more personalized and fulfilling shooting experience.
