T

he range of lens options for Sony

E-mount cameras has expanded with

the launch of Tamron’s 20mm f/2.8

Di III OSD M1:2. Designed for wide-angle

applications including landscapes, street

photography, interiors and close-up work, the

lens offers further versatility thanks to its 1:2

macro facility. Sony’s Fast Hybrid AF, Direct

Manual Focus (DMF) and Eye AF are all

supported by this lens, and it also has the

same filter thread size (67mm) as Tamron’s

24mm and 35mm f/2.8 Di III OSD lenses.

In February’s Group Test (issue 225), the image

accompanying the review of the Canon EF-S 24mm

f/2.8 STM was incorrect. The image published was in

fact Canon’s EF 28mm f/2.8 – the review should have

been accompanied by the image pictured on the

right. However, the lens test and lab results were

printed correctly. Apologies for any confusion.
