The Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD is a wide angle zoom lens from Tamron for the Fujifilm X mount, suited to astrophotography and landscape use. Filter size: 67mm Weight: 335g Aperture range: f/2.8

Key Features

• Outstanding optical performance
• Compact and light weight
• Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating

The Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD Lens for FujiFilm X features an aperture of F2.8. Despite its fast F2.8 aperture, the lens is very small (86.5.mm / 3.4 in). It is the ideal ultra-wide-angle lens for regular use.

At the 11mm ultra-wide-angle end, the lens exhibits stunning close-range shooting performance, achieving a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15m (5.9 in) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4. This feature invites wide-angle macro shooting that exploits the creative effects of naturally occurring distortion that only ultra-wide-angle lenses can provide.

The new zoom is protected by Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating in consideration of outdoor shooting. Its 67mm filter size is identical to TAMRON's 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (Model B070) fast-aperture standard zoom lens and TAMRON’s nearly all lenses in the series of full-frame mirrorless cameras.

F2.8 ultra wide-angle zoom lens for FujiFilm X

The 11-20mm F2.8 is a bona fide ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with an aperture of F2.8 across the entire zoom range. Meanwhile, it is compact, lightweight, and very practical. You can enjoy the unique and powerful world of ultra-wide-angle photography at the 11mm end (the full-frame equivalent of 16.5mm).

Ideal for regular use, the 20mm focal length (the full-frame equivalent of 30mm) is well suited for casual snapshot photography such as street shooting. With its usefulness rooted in its compact, lightweight design and fast F2.8 aperture, the 11-20mm F2.8 provides an exciting shooting experience with greater freedom in diverse shooting situations.

Compact and lightweight for superior usability

The 11-20mm F2.8 is only 86.2mm (3.4 in) in length and weighs just 335g (11.8 oz). For a fast-aperture F2.8 ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, this is remarkably compact and light. It enables photographers to enjoy a responsive image capture system without being hindered by the size or weight of the lens. It provides a comfortable user experience for still photography and for shooting video using a small tripod or gimbal stabilizer.

Outstanding optical performance

The 11-20mm F2.8 construction includes 12 elements in 10 groups. Two precisely located GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements assure high resolution across the entire image, from edge to edge.

In addition, the 11-20mm F2.8 incorporates one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and two LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements to produce sharp images with optical aberrations highly corrected. It also features the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating that suppresses ghosting and flare to a minimum level and reveals the minute details of objects even when the subject is backlit.

MOD of 0.15m (5.9 in) at the 11mm focal length

The 11-20mm F2.8 boasts a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15m (5.9 in) at the 11mm focal length setting and 0.24m (9.4 in) at the 20mm end. This results in better and more versatile close-range shooting performance than existing ultra-wide-angle zoom lenses at their widest focal length.

At the widest 11mm setting it has an astonishing maximum magnification ratio of 1:4 that enables wide-angle macro photography that parlays the perspective unique to ultra-wide-angle lenses, while also leveraging the expressive bokeh provided by the fast, bright maximum aperture of this lens.
