Tamron has just announced that it will be bringing out its fast-apertured, wide-angle 11-20mm f/2.8 zoom in Fujifilm X mount. It will be Tamron's fourth lens for the Fujifilm APS-C mirrorless system.
Weighing just 335g, this is a lightweight lens and therefore a good choice for travel and landscape photography.
It focuses down to an impressive 5.9in (15cm) at the wide-angle lens, which allows for creative close-up photography. Constructed of 12 elements in 10 groups, the lens is said to be moisture resistant, and has a fluorine coating for further protection from the elements.
The lens also boasts an "exceptionally quiet" RXD stepping motor, which will be particularly welcome by video users.
