Tamron’s first lens for Canon RF is finally here

Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 DiIII-A RXD Canon RF

Tamron unveils its first Canon RF mount lens- the compact and lightweight ultra wide-angle zoom Tamron 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD designed for Canon APS-C mirrorless cameras.

The new 11-20mm F2.8 is a capable zoom lens with a versatile focal length range of 11mm to 20mm (equivalent to 17.6-32mm on full-frame), delivering a constant F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range. Weighing just 340g and measuring a mere 84.2mm in length, this lens is designed for effortless portability, making it the perfect companion for photographers and videographers alike for creative on-the-go shooting. 

Despite its compact form factor, the lens excels in delivering stunning image quality. Incorporating advanced optical design with 12 elements in 10 groups, including XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements. Together with its BBAR-G2 Coating, which reduces ghosting and flare for clear images even in challenging backlit conditions, the 11-20mm F2.8 delivers impressive sharpness and accurate colour reproduction across the entire frame.

• Wide versatility: The ultra-wide focal length captures dramatic landscapes, architecture, and immersive group photos. Its moderate telephoto end is ideal for everyday snapshots and creative compositions with smooth, beautiful bokeh.
• Close-up excellence: With a minimum object distance (MOD) of 0.15m and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4 at 11mm, the lens supports creative wide-angle macro photography. 
• Advanced autofocus system: Tamron's proprietary RXD motor provides fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance, perfect for still photography and video recording.
• Durable construction: Designed for harsh weather conditions, the lens includes moisture-resistant construction and fluorine coating for dependable outdoor use.

The lens features a Tamron Connector Port, allowing users to update its firmware via the intuitive Tamron Lens Utility software for optimal performance and future enhancements. This lens also shares Tamron's signature 67mm front filter size, ensuring seamless compatibility with filters and accessories across Tamron's lens lineup.
