See the world from a whole new angle. Ultra wide angle.

F/2.8 ultra wide-angle close focusing fixed focal lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras

The 20mm F/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 (Model F050) is fast handling and packs expressive power that is the signature of fixed focal lenses. ItÕs the ideal first ultra wide-angle lens for any photographer. It is designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras. Light weight and compact the Model F050 is extremely portable ideal for situations where you need to travel light. The Model F050 is a creative tool that dynamically captures scenery by maximising the perspective unique to ultra wide-angle lenses. The incredibly short 0.11m (4.3 in) MOD (Minimum Object Distance) makes it possible to get closer to your subjects than youÕd ever imagined. In addition to the F/2.8 aperture the Model F050 is constructed using special glass materials including LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Moulded Aspherical) lens elements effectively arranged to quash aberrations. The Model F050 provides outstanding optical performance across the entire frame and delivers a sharp image right down to the texture of the subject. With Moisture-Resistant Construction and dirt-resistant Fluorine Coating photographers can shoot confidently outdoors. If you can own only one ultra wide-angle the Model F050 should be your first choice.

Product Description

Get closer to your subject. As close as 0.11m.

One of the key features that makes this lens so exciting is its amazing ability to shoot close-ups. With this lens you can get closer to an object than youÕd ever imagined. At the 0.11m (4.3 in) MOD the lens achieves its maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. YouÕll never again be frustrated because you cannot get close to an object while shooting. This remarkable performance allows users to create compositions that exploit dramatic perspective (closer subjects are larger and distant ones are smaller) and that are unique to wide-angle lenses. By getting close to an object you can produce a one-of-a-kind photo and leverage the beautifully blurred background bokeh.

Ultra wide-angle is dramatically creative

This lens provides outstanding optical performance and overall image quality characteristics relentlessly demanded from a prime fixed focal lens. The expert arrangement of the LD and GM specialised glass elements greatly controls aberrations including chromatic aberrations. TamronÕs proprietary BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating reduces ghosting and flare which can otherwise occur when taking a photo against the sun. Moreover leveraging your camera bodyÕs features* it delivers throughout the frame high resolution performance that maximises the benefits of the latest high-megapixel cameras. Whether shooting on the street full-scale landscapes or architectural photography this lens delivers exceptionally crisp colourful and beautiful images and helps you fulfil your creative ambitions.

The extreme portability enhances the limitless versatility of the lens

Take it with you anywhere. This lens travels as well as it performs. And because it's matched to lightweight full-frame mirrorless cameras your entire system becomes light fast and nimble.
