Summary
July 30 is the release date for Tamron’s new 12-20mm f/2.8 ultra-wide zoom, priced at $1,699 for full-frame Nikon Z and Sony E cameras.
The lens pairs a constant f/2.8 aperture with a 12mm-20mm range, VXD autofocus and a 17-element, 12-group optical design aimed at high image quality.
Tamron is also using the model to reset its branding, dropping longer names like “Di III VXD” and adding more physical controls, including customizable buttons, a selector switch and an aperture de-click switch.
At 570g and 119.3mm long, the weather-sealed lens targets astrophotography and interior shooting; its fixed petal hood blocks screw-on filters, so users must rely on rear gel filters.
