The Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD (Model B060) is a high-performance wide-angle zoom lens designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras (Sony E and FUJIFILM X mounts). It features a constant F/2.8 aperture, internal focusing (IF) system, and a compact, lightweight design suitable for various photography styles.
Installation and Operation
To attach the lens, align the lens mount mark with the camera's mount index and rotate clockwise until it clicks into place. To remove, press the camera's lens release button and rotate the lens counter-clockwise. Always ensure the camera is powered off before attaching or removing the lens. Focus mode is selected via the camera body, while the zoom ring allows for focal length adjustment.
Lens Hood Usage

To attach, align the hood's alignment mark with the lens's release mark and rotate until the hood lock mark aligns with the release mark. For storage, the hood can be mounted in reverse by aligning the hood lock mark with the release mark and rotating.
Safety and Maintenance
Avoid touching the lens-camera interface contacts with your fingers to prevent malfunctions. Do not use organic solvents like benzene or thinners for cleaning. If the lens is exposed to sudden temperature changes, condensation may occur. Store the lens in a clean, well-ventilated area. For further support, visit https://www.tamron.jp/en/support/
