A Review of the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD Lens

Tamron has become one of the most impressive manufacturers in the photo industry in recent years, creating an array of lenses that offers both practical and affordable designs and that push the boundaries of traditional capabilities. The 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD falls into the former category, offering Fujifilm and Sony shooters an affordable ultra-wide angle f/2.8 zoom, making it appealing for a wide range of applications. This excellent video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in use. 

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this great video review takes a look at the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD lens. Despite its affordable price, the 11-20mm f/2.8 still comes with a nice range of features, including:

  • One XLD element, two LD elements, and two glass-molded aspherical elements for reduced distortion and increased sharpness
  • BBAR coating for fewer flares and reduced ghosting and deeper contrast
  • RXD stepping drive motor for fast and quiet autofocus suitable for both photos and video
  • Minimum focus distance of 5.9 inches at wide end
  • Moisture-resistant construction and fluorine front coating
  • Seven rounded diaphragm blades for smoother bokeh

Check out the video above for the full rundown from Abbott.
