Written By GFX GFX

This 11–20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD is a lightweight, portable, fast-aperture F2.8 ultra wide-angle zoom lens (Model B060).

The first CANON RF mount lens from Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Shogo Sakuraba; Headquarters: Saitama City, Japan; “TAMRON”), a prominent producer of optics for a variety of applications, is set to release its ultra wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras, the 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD (Model B060), on April 23, 2024.

The lenses manufactured by TAMRON for mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras are well-known for their excellent optical performance and lightweight, compact designs. TAMRON decided to create a lens for the CANON RF mount under a license agreement after getting several requests from consumers for lenses that were compatible with the system.

Planned Launch for 2024

With a maximum aperture of F2.8 over its whole focal length range, the fast-aperture zoom lens 11-20mm F2.8 covers the ultra wide-angle 11mm to 20mm focal lengths. When coupled with a small APS-C mirrorless camera body, the lens feels well-balanced and has an incredibly lightweight and compact construction for a fast, ultra wide-angle zoom lens. This makes it perfect for everyday use.

It has an uncompromising optical design and high-level imaging power despite its compact and lightweight form. With a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4 and a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15m (5.9in), wide macro shooting at 11mm is achievable. Its remarkable close-range shooting capabilities allow for imaginative use of perspective at the wide end.

The lens also features an AF drive system with an exceptionally quiet RXD (Rapid-eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit. The lens records video and still photos with accuracy. Along with being extremely useful, this ultra wide-angle large-aperture F2.8 lens's moisture-resistant construction, fluorine coating, and other outdoor-shooting-focused features allow users to effortlessly appreciate the excellent image quality of the lens in a variety of lighting circumstances.
