Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD

The Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD is the best ultra-wide zoom available for Sony APS-C cameras — delivering a constant f/2.8 aperture across a 16.5–30mm full-frame equivalent range, in a compact and affordable package. Sharp from corner to corner even at 11mm, with quiet RXD AF and moisture resistance, it is the natural wide zoom companion for the Sony A6700.

GearFrame's Take

The definitive ultra-wide zoom for Sony APS-C — f/2.8 at 11mm in a compact, affordable, weather-sealed package.
