Tamron 12-20mm f/2.8
The 12-20mm f/2.8 is Tamron’s widest ever full-frame zoom, yet it’s surprisingly lightweight at just 585g. Available for Sony and Nikon mirrorless bodies, its 12mm setting gives around 7% more field of view than a typical 14mm lens, meaning it can achieve even more dramatic results. Newly designed XGM and GM aspherical elements promise excellent corner-to-corner sharpness, while a VXD autofocus motor allows users to lock on quickly and accurately.
Guide price £1,449 (Sony); £1,529 (Nikon)
