Tamron announces fast-aperture Standard Zoom 20-40mm F/2.8 Di III VXD

Tamron announces the launch of the 20-40mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A062), a fast-aperture standard zoom lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. The lens will be on sale Oct. 27, 2022, at $699.

The 20-40mm F2.8 is a new fast-aperture standard zoom lens that can be easily carried around for everyday shooting for both still images and video. Designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, the lens was created in the aggressive pursuit of portability that is ideal for everyday use. Starting from 20mm at the ultra-wide-angle end and covering up to 40mm in the standard focal range, it is the smallest and lightest in its class.

The lens incorporates TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), an AF drive system using the linear motor focus mechanism. The VXD boasts superior quietness and agile performance and achieves high-speed and high-precision autofocus. With an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of just 6.7” and maximum magnification ratio 1:3.8 at the wide end, the lens provides exceptional close-range shooting capability, offering the added feature of wide macro photography.
