Tamron 24mm f/2.8: compact wide-angle with genuine macro reach
At 215g and 63.5mm long, this lens disappears into a bag or onto a small mirrorless body without demanding any compromise on optical construction. The 10-element, 9-group design incorporates low-dispersion and glass-molded aspherical elements to control chromatic aberration and field curvature across the 84° 4' angle of view, and BBAR coating manages flare in high-contrast scenes. The fluorine coating on the front element sheds water and fingerprints, backed by weather-sealed construction throughout.
What separates this lens from a standard wide-angle prime is the 4.7" minimum focusing distance and 0.5x maximum magnification. That's a 1:2 reproduction ratio at 24mm, close enough to fill the frame with a flower head or document fine detail in a small object, all while the wide-angle perspective exaggerates spatial relationships in a way a dedicated macro lens cannot. The OSD autofocus motor runs quietly and tracks moving subjects without hunting, which matters when you're shooting video or working in spaces where noise carries. At f/2.8, background separation at those close distances is genuine, not incidental. For what this lens does across landscape, documentary, and close-up work, the 67mm filter thread shared across Tamron's Sony E-mount prime lineup is a practical bonus.
Who It's For
Travel and street photographers who keep pack weight low will appreciate the 215g body paired with a full-frame sensor's low-light capability at f/2.8. Nature and botanical shooters get a field-ready tool: weather sealing holds up in damp conditions, and the 0.5x magnification ratio means wildflowers and insects are reachable without a separate macro lens. Documentary and editorial photographers working in mixed environments benefit from the OSD motor's quiet tracking during video-forward assignments. Architecture and landscape shooters gain the 84° 4' field of view with aberration control that holds up in post-processing.

FAQ
- What's the minimum focusing distance and how close can you get?
- 4.7 inches (11.94 cm) with a 0.5x maximum magnification ratio (1:2). You can fill the frame with a flower head or document fine detail while keeping the wide 84° angle of view, which exaggerates spatial relationships in a way a standard macro lens cannot.
- Is autofocus silent for video work?
- Yes. The OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) motor runs quietly and tracks moving subjects without hunting, which matters when shooting video or recording in spaces where focus noise carries.
- How much does this lens weigh and how compact is it?
- 215g (7.6 oz) and 63.5mm long. It's small enough to disappear into a camera bag or sit comfortably on a compact mirrorless body without compromising optical construction.
- What coatings and weather protection does it have?
- Fluorine coating on the front element sheds water and fingerprints. BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating controls flare in high-contrast scenes. The entire lens is weather-sealed, and low-dispersion plus glass-molded aspherical elements control chromatic aberration and field curvature.
- Does it have an aperture ring?
- No. There's no aperture ring, distance scale, or depth-of-field markings. All aperture control happens on your camera body.
- What filter size does it use?
- 67mm. This matches Tamron's full Sony E-mount prime lineup, so filters, caps, and other accessories carry across multiple lenses.
- Will autofocus work with fast-moving subjects?
- Yes. The OSD motor increases autofocus precision and speed to track constantly moving subjects with accuracy, whether you're shooting stills or video.
