From Tamron:

Transcontinenta UK Ltd., distributor for Tamron UK and Ireland, proudly announces the development of the Tamron 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD (Model B060). A fast and compact ultra-wide-angle zoom for FUJIFILM X-mount APS-C cameras.

The TAMRON 11-20mm F2.8 ultra wide angle zoom lens has a constant aperture of F2.8. Despite its fast F2.8 aperture, the lens is very small and feels perfectly balanced on a compact APS-C mirrorless camera body. With a full-frame equivalent zoom range of 16.5-30mm, it’s ideal for everyday use. At the 11mm ultra-wide-angle end, the lens delivers stunning close-up performance, with a minimum object distance (MOD) of 0.15m and maximum magnification of 1:4. This allows macro shots to be taken at an extremely wide angle, with a range of creative effects. For example, a close-up of a flower and its natural surroundings can be captured, while a telephoto macro shot shows only the flower against a blurred background.

The photos above were taken with the existing version of the Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 Di III-A RXD (model B060) for Sony E-mount APS-C cameras. They give a good idea of the unique capabilities of this ultra-wide angle zoom.
In addition, the silent RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor AF drive is perfect for both still and video shooting. This zoom lens is protected by a moisture resistant construction and a durable Fluorine Coating for added protection when shooting outdoors. With its compact size, fast F2.8 aperture, convenient zoom range and superb image quality, the 11-20mm zoom lens is ideal for travel, landscape, street and general photography.
