Tamron 24mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M 1:2 Lens for Sony E

Overview

Offering a new take on a popular wide-angle focal length, the Tamron 24mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M 1:2 Lens for Sony E is a sleek and lightweight prime designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. A modest f/2.8 maximum aperture keeps the lens impressively sleek, making it well suited to travel shooting, while a half life-size 1:2 maximum magnification ratio and 11.9cm minimum focusing distance add versatility for close-up subjects.

On APS-C Sony E-mount bodies the lens provides a 36mm equivalent focal length. An OSD stepping motor delivers quiet, fast, and precise autofocus with full-time manual focus override, and a moisture-resistant construction with a fluorine-coated front element suits use in inclement conditions.

Compact f/2.8 Design

A modestly bright f/2.8 maximum aperture strikes a balance between working in available light and achieving an impressively compact, lightweight profile ideal for travel.

Low Dispersion and Aspherical Optics

Three LD (Low Dispersion) elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for increased clarity and color fidelity, while one molded glass aspherical element suppresses distortion and spherical aberrations for greater sharpness. A BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating reduces surface reflections to prevent flare and ghosting, improving contrast and color accuracy.

Half Life-Size 1:2 Macro Magnification

A half life-size 1:2 maximum magnification ratio and a minimum focusing distance of 11.9cm suit working at near distances for close-up subjects.

Fast, Quiet OSD Autofocus

An OSD stepping motor offers especially quiet, fast, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override.

Moisture-Resistant, Fluorine-Coated Build

A moisture-resistant construction benefits use in inclement conditions, and a fluorine coating on the front lens element protects against dust, dirt, and smearing. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
