Overview
description
Tamron 12-20mm f/2.8 Lens (Sony E)
The optical system incorporates an XGM (eXpanded Glass Molded Aspherical) lens element, three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements, and multiple special lens elements. This design effectively suppresses peripheral blurring and color fringing while correcting sagittal coma flare — a common challenge in astrophotography — ensuring high sharpness from the center to the extreme edges of the frame.
Despite its exceptional imaging performance, the lens achieves a sophisticated balance of size and weight, measuring just 4.7” (119.3mm) in length and weighing only 20.2oz. (570g).1 While compact, it remains a professional-grade tool equipped with various switches and rings for superior operability.
For autofocus, the lens features the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), a high-speed, high-precision linear motor focus mechanism.Furthermore, with an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 7.1” (0.18m) at the 12mm wide end, the lens offers outstanding close-up performance for creative versatility.
