This lens (Model B060) is specifically designed for APS-C mirrorless systems, providing a full-frame equivalent focal length of 16.5-30mm. It is widely celebrated as the world’s first ultra wide-angle zoom lens for Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras to maintain a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture across the entire zoom range.
Key Features and Design
Compact & Lightweight: Despite the fast aperture, it weighs only 11.8 oz (335g) and measures just 3.4 inches in length, making it ideal for travel, everyday carry, and gimbal use.
Close-Up Performance: It boasts an impressive Minimum Object Distance (MOD) of 5.9 inches (0.15m) at the 11mm wide end. This achieves a 1:4 maximum magnification ratio, which is perfect for wide-angle macro shooting.
Fast & Quiet Autofocus: The lens utilizes Tamron’s RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) motor. This delivers fast, precise, and nearly silent autofocus that is fully compatible with Sony’s Fast Hybrid AF and Eye AF, making it an excellent choice for both stills and video.
Durable Build: It features moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine coating on the front element to repel dirt and water, making it a reliable option for outdoor landscape and architectural photography.
Standard Filter Size: It shares a unified 67mm front filter thread with many other Tamron mirrorless lenses, which simplifies your accessory management.
Optical Performance
The optical formula incorporates 12 elements in 10 groups, including Glass Molded Aspherical (GM), Extra Low Dispersion (XLD), and Low Dispersion (LD) elements. These elements work alongside Tamron’s BBAR-G2 coating to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations, flare, and ghosting, resulting in sharp, high-contrast images from edge to edge.
