The much talked about new Tamron 12.20mm lens has now been released and can be had for $1699. It’s available for different mounts like the Nikon Z and in this case for Sony E cameras: https://www.amazon.com/Tamron-12-20mm-Ultra-Mirrorless

The Tamron 12-20mm F/2.8 Ultra Wide Zoom Lens is an interesting lens considering just how wide it goes, and we are talking about really wide here. So how it deals with distortion will obviously be a big focal point, pardon the pun.

DPreviews has put the lens through the hoops with a sample gallery for examples of how the lens does on the streets or in landscapes.

And the Northrup’s have also tested the lens, which you can see in their video below. It’s an interesting lens option, which for some mounts offer opportunities never offered before. And as modern lens it offers some of the new types of features of course, such as integrated rear filter holder.
