Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E Summary
This wide to standard Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E offers full-frame (FE) Sony camera users an ultra-wide to standard zoom range, which is ideal for photography, video and vlogging. The lightweight and compact zoom lens can be handheld all day as it weighs just 365g, yet is capable of delivering beautiful images across the entire zoom range.
A wide f/2.8 maximum aperture is constant throughout, while the lens focuses as close as just 0.17m, which is perfect to fill the frame with your subject, whether creating videos, vlogging close to your camera or shooting stills. The lens is also fast to focus thanks to Tamron’s high-level AF VXD linear motor, which is virtually silent for video capture and full compatible with Sony AF detection technologies.

Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E Mount in More Detail
This latest 20-40mm lens arrives hot on the heels of the 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD Lens, also for Sony full-frame camera users. This means you can cover ultra-wide to telephoto ranges with just two extremely capable Tamron lenses.
Bright maximum aperture in a compact zoom
The 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens delivers a fast, wide maximum f/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range from 20mm to 40mm. It achieves this with a class-leading compact and lightweight design, which measures 86.5mm and weighs 365g.
At the 40mm end you can enjoy a natural perspective with a standard range, which is perfect for everyday shooting of anything from portraits and food photos to street photography and everyday snaps.
At the 20mm ultra wide end of the zoom, the focal length allows you to enjoy diverse subjects including landscapes, astro and cityscapes, capturing more in the frame than a classic 24mm wide angle lens.
Fabulous videos, vlogs and other content
The compact and lightweight 20-40mm f/2.8 lens delivers excellent handling which is well balanced even when accessories like camera grips or gimbal stabilisers are attached. With this one lens, you won't miss a shot, whether shooting street videography or vast landscapes during travel, as well as selfies that include expansive backgrounds.
High image quality
The Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Sony E mount has an optical design with 12 elements arranged in 11 groups. These include four LD (Low Dispersion), two GM (Glass Moulded Aspherical) and one Hybrid Aspherical lens element. This generous arrangement of special lens elements strikes a balance between high image quality and the compact size. Another feature is the beautifully soft defocus blur effects and circular bokeh that are unique to the fast f/2.8 aperture from the 9 circular diaphragm blades, which remain circular for around 2-stops from f/2.8.
Fast and accurate VXD linear motor
Tamron’s highly accomplished VXD linear motor focus mechanism delivers high-speed, high-precision AF which enables the lens to respond with quick focusing, from near to infinite. The lens provides excellent focus tracking with moving objects so that you never miss those important moments and the AF mechanism is extremely quiet, perfectly suited for both stills and video in conditions that warrant silent operation.

Our Verdict
The 20-40mm f/2.8 lens is another innovative zoom lens design from Tamron, which reinvents standard zoom focal lengths. At the ultra wide end of the zoom you can capture extremely dynamic compositions of landscapes, architecture, interiors and city shots to name a few. The minimum object distance also enables you to capture frame-filling wide angle macro shots with a high magnification ratio. At the 40mm end of the range, the image is extremely well controlled with minimal distortion and a natural field of view, which is perfect for street photography, portraits and day to day snap shots.
Image quality is high thanks to Tamron’s mirrorless lens formula, which is consistent with existing options in their range. Several special lenses reduce aberrations and render high levels of sharp details throughout the zoom range. Despite this versatile range, the lens offers a constant f/2.8 aperture, which is ideal when handholding in low light and for vlogging or video applications.
Focusing is fast and precise as all of Tamron’s offerings with their VXD linear motor focus technology, supporting Sony’s AF system perfectly with subject detection and tracking across the frame. Whichever styles of photography you enjoy from epic landscapes to close-ups and portraits, the 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD lens performs extremely and is sure to become a firm favourite with vloggers and creators.
