Product Overview

The 20-40mm F/2.8 Di III VXD (Model A062) is a fast-aperture standard zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Perfectly balancing portability and exceptional rendering, it delivers class-leading* compactness and light weight. It is the go-to lens for everything from daily snapshots and travel to dedicated creative work.

The 20-40mm F2.8 features a unique focal range. Starting at 20mm, the ultra-wide setting captures dynamic landscapes with a powerful sense of depth, while the 40mm end is perfect for everyday snapshots and portraits.

When used with APS-C mirrorless cameras, it functions as a versatile zoom with a full-frame equivalent of 30-60mm. Its exceptional handling, thanks to the compact and lightweight design, is a significant advantage for video shooting. At 20mm, the wide focal length is ideal for vlogging and selfies. The AF drive features the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. This high-speed, high-precision system captures subjects smoothly and accurately for both stills and video. Furthermore, with an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.17m (6.7in) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.8 at the 20mm wide end, it enables impressive wide macro photography, allowing you to get incredibly close to your subject while beautifully capturing the surrounding environment. Combining superb portability, a versatile focal range, and uncompromising optical performance, the 20-40mm F2.8 is the new choice in fast-aperture standard zoom lenses — ready to fulfill the creative vision of every photographer.
