Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 Di III VXD Lens for Nikon Z

The Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 Di III VXD for Nikon Z is a compact, fast-aperture standard zoom designed for full-frame Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. Combining an ultra-wide 20mm perspective with a natural 40mm focal length and a constant F2.8 maximum aperture, it offers an unusual blend of portability, versatility and creative potential.

From landscapes, architecture and travel to street photography, portraits, video and vlogging, the 20-40mm range covers a variety of everyday shooting situations without the size and weight typically associated with a fast-aperture zoom. a062z_launch_pressrelease_en

From Ultra-Wide 20mm to Natural 40mm

At the wide end, 20mm provides a dramatic ultra-wide perspective that's ideal for expansive landscapes, interiors, architecture and environmental portraits. It's also particularly useful for video and vlogging, where the wider field of view makes handheld and self-filming easier.

Zooming towards 40mm provides a more natural perspective suited to everyday snapshots, street photography, detail shots and portraits. On a Nikon Z DX-format camera, the lens provides an approximate 30-60mm full-frame equivalent range, turning it into a practical compact standard zoom. a062z_launch_pressrelease_en

Constant F2.8 in a Compact Design

The constant F2.8 maximum aperture is available throughout the entire 20-40mm zoom range, providing greater control over depth of field while making the lens useful when working in lower-light conditions.

Despite its fast aperture, the lens measures only 88.7mm long and weighs approximately 380g, helping it balance comfortably on Nikon Z mirrorless bodies. Its compact dimensions make it an appealing option for photographers who want to travel light without giving up the flexibility of a fast zoom. a062z_launch_pressrelease_en

Inside, an optical construction of 12 elements in 11 groups is designed to deliver high image quality while maintaining the lens's compact form. a062z_launch_pressrelease_en

Fast VXD Autofocus for Photo & Video

Tamron's VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor provides high-speed, high-precision autofocus, allowing the lens to acquire subjects smoothly and accurately when shooting both stills and video.

Video shooters also benefit from the lens's compact handling and a short 65° zoom ring rotation, allowing quick, smooth changes in focal length with minimal hand movement. a062z_launch_pressrelease_en

Get Closer with Wide-Angle Macro

The Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 also offers impressive close-focusing performance. At 20mm, the minimum focusing distance is just 0.17m, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.8.

This allows you to position the camera remarkably close to your subject while still capturing plenty of the surrounding scene, creating distinctive wide-angle close-ups with a strong sense of depth and perspective. a062z_launch_pressrelease_en

Designed for Everyday Use

Alongside its compact construction, the lens features moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine coating for additional protection during everyday shooting. It also uses a convenient 67mm filter thread and supports the Tamron Lens Utility application for additional customisation. a062z_launch_pressrelease_en
