Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 Di III-A RXD Lens - Sony E-mount

The Tamron 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD is a light and compact lens for Sony APS-C cameras. It is a perfect choice for gripping perspectives & extraordinary viewing angles and is ideally suited for dynamic video recordings using a gimbal. Special optical glasses ensure an optimally corrected, sharp and detailed image. The short close-up distance - only 15 cm at the shortest focal length and 24 cm at the longest focal length, allows spectacular close-ups.
The RXD (Rapid-eXtra-silent stepping drive) autofocus motor focuses precisely and quickly. The focus is almost completely silent; thus no annoying operating noises are recorded during video recordings.

Wide-angle macro photography
The closest focusing distance of the 11-20mm F/2.8 is only 15 cm with the shortest focal length. This means: With this lens you can get as close to the motif as you want - up to the largest possible image scale of 1:4. A dramatic effect of depth results due to the exaggerated gradation of the proportions. The steep decrease in image size makes close objects appear huge and distant objects appear tiny. With the aperture fully open (F/2.8), the depth of field is low, so that areas that are important to the image can be emphasized through the targeted use of sharpness and blurring (bokeh).

RXD (Rapid eXtra silent Drive)
Rapid Extra-Silent Drive – RXD autofocus is highly responsive, making it ideal for shooting stills and video of subjects in motion. A sensor constantly detects the current focus setting, allowing the continuous autofocus (AF-C) to precisely target the rotation angle required for focus at lightning speed.

Moisture resistant construction
The lens is splash-resistant. All critical areas have special seals. Lenses with this feature are ideal for outdoor use in bad weather.

Optics
Low Dispersion – LD elements have particularly low colour dispersion index. They reduce chromatic aberrations that appear as colour fringes on the contrast edges and reduce image sharpness.
XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) Glass Extra-Low Dispersion – XLD elements have particularly low colour dispersion index. They reduce chromatic aberrations that appear as colour fringes on the contrast edges and reduce image sharpness.

Multi coating
Fluorine Coating protects the front lens from contamination. It prevents oil and water droplets from sticking to the surface. Fingerprints and dirt are easier to remove.
The BBAR multi-coating ensures brilliant images with natural colours. It reduces the reflection of light rays hitting the lens surface.
