12-20mm F2.8 - Nikon Z Mount
TAMRON 12-20mm F2.8
The 12-20mm F2.8 (Model A084Z), a fast-aperture ultra wide-angle zoom lens, compatible with Nikon Z - mount full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The defining feature of the 12-20mm F2.8 is its ultra-wide focal range, from 12mm to 20mm. The overwhelming breadth of the 12mm perspective
enables dynamic expression that seems to "capture the entire expanse of a scene."
With a bright F2.8 aperture maintained throughout the entire zoom range, this lens is poised to become the "new protagonist" for astrophotography
and interior shooting.
The optical system incorporates an XGM (eXpanded Glass Molded Aspherical) lens element, three GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens
elements, and multiple special lens elements.
This design effectively suppresses peripheral blurring and color fringing while correcting sagittal coma flare - a common challenge in
astrophotography - ensuring high sharpness from the centre to the extreme edges of the frame.
Despite its exceptional imaging performance, the lens achieves a sophisticated balance of size and weight, measuring just 121.3mm (4.8in) in length
and weighing only 585g (20.7oz).
While compact, it remains a professional-grade tool equipped with various switches and rings for superior operability.
For autofocus, the lens features the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive), a high-speed, high-precision linear motor focus mechanism.
Furthermore, with an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.18m (7.1in) at the 12mm wide end, the lens offers outstanding close-up performance
for creative versatility.
