Wide-angle lenses and macro lenses solve different problems, which is why Tamron's 20mm F2.8 Di III OSD stands out — it's built for sweeping landscapes but focuses down to just 11cm, close enough for 1:2 (half-life-size) magnification. One review called the combination "a surprisingly versatile tool," letting photographers fill the frame with a small subject while still keeping its surroundings in view, something longer macro lenses can't do.
Released in January 2020 for Sony's full-frame E-mount, the lens keeps things simple otherwise: a fixed f/2.8 aperture, a 67mm filter thread, and a body light enough to carry alongside other glass without thinking twice about it.
