Tamron 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD (Model B060)

Tamron Co., Ltd. announced the company is developing TAMRON’s first CANON RF mount lens, 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A[1] RXD (Model B060), an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras. The lens is expected to launch in 2024. Pricing was not announced.

The 11-20mm F2.8 is a fast-aperture zoom lens covering a focal length range from 11mm to 20mm, with a maximum aperture of F2.8 across its full range of focal lengths. Despite its small, lightweight design, the lens also delivers high-level imaging power with an uncompromising optical design. Wide macro shooting is possible at 11mm with a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15m (5.9”) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4. The lens also incorporates an AF drive system with an RXD (Rapid-eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit that is remarkably quiet. The lens accurately captures not only still images but also video. It is also highly practical, with Moisture-Resistant Construction, Fluorine Coating, and other features designed for outdoor shooting, enabling users to easily enjoy the high image quality of this ultra wide-angle large-aperture F2.8 lens under a range of conditions.
