Tamron has announced the development of its first large-aperture ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C size mirrorless single-lens cameras with the Canon RF mount, the 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A) RXD. (Model B060; The lens will be referred to as the Tamron 11-20mm F2.8.) It is scheduled to be released in 2024, with the suggested retail price yet to be determined.

The Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 is a large aperture F2.8 zoom lens that covers an ultra-wide angle of 11mm to 20mm. It is compact and lightweight for a large aperture ultra-wide angle zoom lens, and balances well with a compact APS-C size mirrorless camera body, making it ideal for everyday use.

Although it is small and lightweight, the uncompromising optical design shoots with high image quality. In addition, the minimum shooting distance at the wide-angle end of 11mm is 0.15m, and the maximum shooting magnification is 1:4, so by taking advantage of its close-up shooting capabilities, wide macro shooting with a strong perspective is possible. In addition, the AF drive is equipped with a stepping motor unit RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) that is extremely quiet. The lens design accurately captures the subject, not only in still images, but also in video shooting. In addition, it has a simple drip-proof structure and an anti-fouling coating that take outdoor shooting into consideration, making it a highly practical lens that allows you to easily enjoy the high image quality of the wide-angle large aperture F2.8.
