    The new Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 Di III-A RXD model B060 zoom is an ultra wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras that features a maximum aperture of F2.8 throughout the zoom range. Despite its large F2.8 aperture, the lens is very small at just 3.4" long and feels perfectly balanced attached to a compact Sony APS-C mirrorless camera body. At the 11mm ultra wide-angle end, the lens exhibits stunning close-range shooting performance, achieving a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 5.9" 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. It is protected by Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating for confidence when shooting outdoors. Its 67mm filter size is identical to Tamron's 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (Model B070) standard zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras and Tamron’s series of lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras that fit nicely on APS-C cameras as well.
