Tamron 12-20mm f2.8 Lens for Nikon Z
Free delivery
As Tamron’s widest full-frame lens, the 12-20 f2.8 introduces a flagship extreme wide-angle zoom to their mirrorless lineup. Its newly developed optical design uses XGM, GM, and multiple specialised lens elements to deliver edge-to-edge sharpness and suppress sagittal coma flare across the expansive 12mm field of view. Combined with an aperture ring featuring selectable click or click-free operation and Tamron's compact design philosophy, it has all the makings of a go-to ultra-wide-angle lens for landscapes, architecture and interiors, while maintaining the point-light definition needed for nightscapes and astrophotography.

FAQs:
Can I use filters with the Tamron 12-20mm f2.8 Lens?
Yes. Rather than using a conventional front filter thread, the Tamron 12-20mm f2.8 Lens features an integrated rear filter holder that accepts compatible rear-mounted filters. This allows filters to be used without affecting the lens's integrated hood or extreme 12mm optical design.
Can I remove the integrated lens hood?
No. The flower-shaped lens hood is permanently integrated into the lens. This forms part of the overall optical and mechanical design, helping to reduce stray light and protect the front element without increasing the size. A dedicated locking front lens cap is supplied to fit the integrated hood.
Does the minimum focusing distance change throughout the zoom range?
Yes. The minimum focusing distance changes from 0.18m at the 12mm wide end to 0.28m at 20mm. Maximum magnification also changes from 1:5.8 at 12mm to 1:9.1 at 20mm, allowing the lens to achieve its strongest close-up performance at the widest focal length. This makes it easier to place foreground subjects prominently within the frame while retaining the expansive perspective of the surrounding scene.
Is the Tamron 12-20mm f2.8 Lens compatible with Tamron Lens Utility?
Yes. The lens is compatible with Tamron Lens Utility, allowing supported lens functions to be customised and firmware to be updated using Tamron's software. Function availability depends on the camera mount and the features supported by the lens.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
