TAMRON Announces the Launch of Its First CANON RF mount Lens The compact, lightweight, fast-aperture F2.8 ultra wide-angle zoom 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD (Model B060)
Commack, NY, November 26, 2024 – Tamron announces the launch of TAMRON’s first CANON RF mount lens, 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD (Model B060)1, an ultra wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras at $659 USD / $899 CAD on December 12, 2024.
Available at B&H Store
The 11-20mm F2.8 is a fast-aperture zoom lens covering a focal length range from ultra-wide-angle 11mm to 20mm2, with a maximum aperture of F2.8 across its full range of focal lengths. With a surprisingly compact and lightweight design for a fast ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, the lens feels well balanced when attached to a compact APS-C mirrorless camera body, making it ideal for daily use.
Despite its small, lightweight design, the lens delivers high-level imaging power with its uncompromising optical design. Wide macro shooting is possible at 11mm with an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 5.9″ (0.15m) and maximum magnification ratio of 1:4, and its stunning close-range shooting performance enables creative use of perspective at the wide end.
The lens also incorporates an AF drive system with an RXD (Rapid-eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit that is remarkably quiet. The lens accurately captures not only still images but also video. It is highly practical, with Moisture-Resistant Construction, Fluorine Coating, and other features designed for outdoor shooting, letting users easily enjoy the high image quality of this ultra wide-angle fast -aperture F2.8 lens under a range of conditions.

2 The full-frame equivalent of 17.6-32mm.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Fast-aperture ultra wide-angle zoom lens
The 11-20mm F2.8 (full-frame equivalent of 17.6-32mm) allows for the capture of landscapes and architecture with the dynamic perspective unique to ultra wide-angle lenses. It is also well-suited for indoor group portraits and real estate photography by leveraging its wide-angle focal lengths. At the telephoto end, it supports everyday snapshots with its natural field of view close to one’s view, all while delivering soft and beautiful bokeh with its F2.8 aperture.
2. Compact and lightweight
Designed with APS-C mirrorless cameras in mind, the 11-20mm F2.8 provides a compact and lightweight form, measuring just 3.3″ (84.2mm) in length and weighing 12 oz. (340g), allowing you to shoot without worrying about weight. When used with a compatible APS-C mirrorless camera body, you’ll enjoy handheld shooting of still images and find it comfortable to shoot video even when using a compact tripod or gimbal.
3. AF/MF Switch and TAMRON Lens Utility Compatibility
The CANON RF mount includes an AF/MF switch. Additionally, the lens features a Connector Port for users to easily update the lens to the latest firmware via TAMRON Lens Utility™ software.
4. Outstanding optical performance
The optical construction uses 12 elements in 10 groups including two GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements to maintain high resolution across the entire image area. It also incorporates one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and two LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements to effectively suppress aberrations, ensuring clear image quality. Additionally, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating minimizes ghosting and flare, faithfully rendering details even in backlit conditions.
5. MOD of 5.9″ (0.15m) and maximum magnification ratio of 1:4
With an MOD of 5.9″ (0.15m) at 11mm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4, the 11-20mm F2.8 surpasses traditional ultra wide-angle zoom lenses in its close-up capabilities. This allows for wide-angle macro photography and creative shallow depth of field effects, enhancing subject prominence against blurred backgrounds.
6. High performance autofocus system for both still and video use
Equipped with TAMRON’s proprietary RXD motor unit, the autofocus system delivers high-speed and high-precision focusing. It accurately captures moving subjects and is suitable for both still photography and video. Its quiet RXD stepping motor is ideal for capturing moments where noise may be a concern, or silence is required.
7. High convenience and protective features
—Ø67mm filter size, same as most other TAMRON lenses for mirrorless
—Enhanced overall lens design for user-friendly operation
—Moisture-Resistant Construction
—Fluorine Coating

We are all aware that not very long ago, all third-party Sony lenses were limited to 15 frames per second burst speed or continuous speed. Beyond that, they were not allowed to do continuous autofocus in every frame. But from the past year, Sony has changed its policy, and all the new third-party lenses coming from Tamron and Sigma support higher frame rates burst cycles with continuous autofocus support. Additionally, the older lenses are also getting continuous updates from the lens makers to make them compatible with cameras like the Sony A9 Mark III.

We all know that Canon is in partnership with Apple, as they are making special spatial Lenses for their Apple Vision PRO, and their content can be directly used on Apple iPhone platforms and the VR headset for augmented reality purposes.
But no, Canon is not behind in the process of its virtual reality headset development program. They have silently announced the VR headset named MREAL X1, and now it looks like they are preparing to announce the second generation of the X2 VR headset.
First Impression
When we had this patent first, we thought that Canon was working on MREAL X2, But, after reading the document we have found that it’s a advanced type of electronic binocular telescope, especially one that can be worn like a head-mounted display.
Now the rear design of the same
Canon Patent Details
- The device is like a pair of binoculars with a camera and displays placed in front of your eyes.
- You can also record your video with a press of a button on the TOP RIGHT side of binoculars, plus a ZOOM TOUCH BAR, like the TOUCH BAR we have seen in the Canon EOS R camera
- Enhanced ACTIVE Subject Tracking by AI Chip, Once you have used AF LOCK on the subject the binoculars camera will TRACK automatically without making unnecessary head movements
- It uses sensors to detect the direction of your head and the direction your eyes are looking (line of sight).
- The problem with current devices is that even small head movements can shift the viewing area too much, especially when zoomed in. This can be uncomfortable for users.
- The invention solves this by deciding when to adjust the view based on head movements and when to keep it stable, making the experience feel more like looking with your natural eyes.
In short, it’s a smart system that makes viewing through these electronic binoculars smoother and more comfortable, minimizing unnecessary shifts in the image.

Stay tuned more updates are coming
