Tamron's first Canon RF lens is coming soon

Tamron has confirmed it's set to launch its first lens for Canon's RF mount, the 11-20mm F2.8 Di III-A RXD, next month.

The APS-C lens is currently available on Sony's E-mount and Fujifilm's X mount, but marks Tamron's first foray into RF glass, following Canon's decision to open up the mount to third party lens manufacturers earlier this year.

According to Tamron, the 11-20mm F2.8 is built around 12 elements in 10 groups, and has two glass molded aspherical elements, one XLD element and two LD elements.  With the 1.6x crop on APS-C, it'll be equivalent to about 18-32mm.

The lens also has Tamron's second-generation anti-reflective coating, along with a fluorine coating on the front element.

The new lens will weigh 340g, and is 84mm long. It accepts a 67mm filter.

The lens becomes the third non-Canon glass available for RF, alongside the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 and 18-50mm F2.8.

The Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 Di III-A RXD will set you back $1,199, and is available from 12 December. You can find out more on Tamron's website.
