Tamron 12-20mm Sony E Lens – Ultra wide-angle zoom

The Tamron 12-20mm Sony E lens (Tamron Model A084) brings a 12-20mm f/2.8 ultra wide-angle zoom to Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. It is designed for photographers and content creators who shoot landscapes, architecture, interiors and astrophotography, and it forms part of Tamron’s Di III range for full-frame and APS-C bodies.

Why choose the Tamron 12-20mm Sony E?

An f/2.8 maximum aperture gives you control over depth of field for subject separation and helps in lower light, while the 12-20mm range covers the focal lengths that matter most for landscapes. Focusing is handled by Tamron’s VXD linear motor (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), delivering responsive autofocus for stills and quiet, smooth focus transitions for video. Without an optical stabiliser the lens stays compact and light, and it works alongside the in-body image stabilisation found in many current camera bodies.

At just 570g and 119.3mm long, it is easy to carry all day, and a minimum focus distance of 0.18m (wide) / 0.28m (tele) lets you get close for dramatic perspectives and detail shots.

Built for Sony E-mount cameras

The Sony E version of this lens supports the camera maker’s autofocus features such as eye detection, as well as in-camera lens corrections, on compatible bodies. Always update your camera to the latest firmware for full compatibility. Tamron Lens Utility compatibility lets you customise lens controls and update lens firmware.
