While delivering a constant F2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range, it achieves a class-leading compact and lightweight design. With a length of just 86.5mm (3.4in) and weighing only 365g, the 20-40mm F2.8 offers incredible portability. Its exceptional size and weight provide the mobility you need for everything from daily snapshots and travel to dedicated creative work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExpanding Your Creative Horizons from Ultra-Wide 20mm - A Seamless Flow to the Natural 40mm View\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20-40mm F2.8 features a unique focal range starting at 20mm. At the 20mm ultra wide-angle end, it provides a sense of depth and scale that conventional standard zoom lenses simply cannot match, capturing the full essence of a landscape. At the same time, the range up to 40mm is ideal for everyday snapshots and portraits. When used with APS-C mirrorless cameras, it provides a full-frame equivalent of 30-60mm - offering the flexibility to handle any scene without changing lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMobility and High-Speed, High-Precision AF - The Perfect Support for Video and Vlogging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact, lightweight design ensures exceptional handling, offering a significant advantage for video shooting. The 20-40mm F2.8 remains perfectly balanced even when mounted on camera grips or compact gimbals, making it ideal for handheld shooting and vlogging. Additionally, the 20mm focal length lets you capture the broader background while maintaining a comfortable distance for selfies. The AF drive features the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. This high-speed, high-precision system tracks subjects smoothly and accurately from MOD (Minimum Object Distance) to infinity, reliably following moving subjects during video shooting. Furthermore, the quietness of the linear motor allows for inconspicuous shooting in noise-sensitive environments, whether for stills or video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh Image Quality in a Compact Body - Powered by Specialised Lens Elements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20-40mm F2.8 is packed with Tamron's proprietary optical technologies, delivering imaging performance that defies its compact size. The optical construction features 12 elements in 11 groups. By generously incorporating specialised lens elements, including four LD (Low Dispersion), along with two GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements, the 20-40mm F2.8 achieves outstanding optical performance. A key highlight is the beautiful, soft bokeh that only a fast F2.8 aperture can provide. Furthermore, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating effectively suppresses ghosting and flare, ensuring clear and crisp images with excellent contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWide Macro Shooting with an MOD of 0.17m (6.7in) - Discover the Power of Close-Ups\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an MOD of just 0.17m (6.7in) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.8 at the 20mm wide end, the 20-40mm F2.8 delivers impressive wide macro photography. By getting remarkably close to your subject, you can capture it in stunning detail while still including the expansive background. This allows for powerful, creative expression, emphasizing the unique sense of perspective and depth only wide-angle shooting can provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamron Lens Utility is an innovative application that lets you assign practical functions to your lens for both video and still photography using your smartphone or PC, eliminating the need for traditional video equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLightweight and Durable Polycarbonate Resin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamron uses polycarbonate resin (engineering plastic) for our lens barrels of mirrorless cameras. This material is extremely reliable, lightweight, and durable, and also broadly used for such as racing car bodies and F1 racer's helmets. Tamron selects the best material from various grades of polycarbonate and selects a material with thermal expansion\/shrinkage comparable to that of aluminium in structurally critical areas. And also, these materials must be carefully determined. These processes allow the product to be comfortably used in a variety of environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe environment and facilities for manufacturing optical parts are essential to the quality of the parts. Tamron holds all the equipment and environment in-house to manufacture high quality parts. The combination of the most advanced measuring system and the outstanding craftsmanship molding skills make the most of the selected materials, resulting in extremely high-precision, micron-level parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese efforts are based on Tamron's extensive know-how and experience in the manufacture of lenses for industrial as well as photographic lenses. Therefore, these lead to highly reliable products for camera enthusiasts and professional photographers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamron develops lenses for mirrorless cameras under the brand statement \"Human Focus,\" aiming to create lenses that are always close to our users. The ergonomic design is based on a thorough investigation of \"what makes people feel comfortable\" and is focused on ease of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReviewing each part and component down to the finest details, we continue to pursue the development of the best products, including the lens body with a comfortable, uneven shape that fits snugly and naturally in the hand, redesigned striped pattern on the rubber focusing and zoom rings with the appropriate amount of convexity calculated, and the metal parts for the internal mechanism that ensure smooth operability. The design with operability and texture in mind provides a comfortable shooting experience for the users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recessed switch box and Focus Set Button* have an unobtrusive, contoured design that smoothly guides the fingers intuitively. The sloped bevel around the slide switch draws your finger naturally to the right position. To prevent accidental operation, the switches have a low profile. Taken altogether, these enhancements provide a more comfortable user experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the lens exterior is shiny black, and its improved abrasion resistance makes the lens harder to scratch and resists fingerprints. The smooth touch provides users a sense of trust and reliability through the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tamron brand ring, the warm and captivating glow of the luminous gold ring connecting the lens to the camera accentuates the products, distinguishing itself as a symbol of excellence in engineering and design and marking our commitment to deliver joy and to inspire creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamron will remain user-centric and study people while designing and manufacturing lenses so that users around the world can fully continue to enjoy photography in their own way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltra-Wide 20-40mm F2.8 Zoom Range\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVersatile Landscape and Portrait Coverage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact Lightweight Video-Friendly Design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-Speed VXD Autofocus System\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuiet High-Precision Subject Tracking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialised Optical Elements for Clarity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft Bokeh with F2.8 Aperture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBBAR-G2 Coating Reduces Ghosting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWide Macro 0.17m Close-Focusing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum 1:3.8 Magnification Ratio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurable Lightweight Polycarbonate Resin Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErgonomic Design for Comfortable Handling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefined Controls Prevent Accidental Operation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImproved Scratch and Fingerprint Resistance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamron Lens Utility Compatibility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTamron 20-40mm F\/2.8 Di III VXD for Nikon Z\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlower-shaped Hood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRear Cap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51475657097383,"sku":"GC47-TM-A062Z","price":1098.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4083\/0375\/files\/Tamron20-40mmF2.8DiIIIVXDforNikonZ_1.jpg?v=1791365488","url":"https:\/\/www.georges.com.au\/products\/tamron-20-40mm-f-2-8-di-iii-vxd-for-nikon-z","provider":"Georges Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
