Tamron has been very innovative when it comes to the focal range of its zoom lenses.

Attractive Zoom!

Tamron 20-40mm f2.8 Di III VXD | ₹66,900

Inside the Box

A 20 – 40 mm zoom lens had in fact been launched by Tamron over 15 years ago. However, that lens had a maximum aperture of f/ 2.7 - 3.5. I had owned this lens and remember that the novel focal range at the time was the main attraction. More recently, Tamron launched the 17 – 28 mm f/ 2.8 wide-angle zoom; again a novel zoom range. We now have with us Tamron’s new 20 – 40 mm f/ 2.8 Di III VXD which is their latest launch in the wide-angle zoom market. The lens is designed for Sony full frame mirrorless cameras and has Sony’s E mount. Designed in Japan, the lens has been manufactured in Vietnam.

A Good Hybrid

Canon's latest offering -the successor to the tried and tested Canon R6 III is the full frame EOS R6 Mark III, targeted at enthusiasts, - is a hybrid camera with high-end photo as well as video capabilities, but, in my opinion, leaning more towards cinematic video. It offers features like 7K RAW Open Gate recording (a fancy term for full-frame, non-cropped video), 4K/120p, LCPM/24-bit/4-channel Audio, and some more goodies. Let's see how this new baby performs...
