New Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 for X-Mount. Unbox, 1st Impressions + Vlogging ...


It's finally arrived, the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 for Fujifilm X Mount. If you currently have the Fujifilm XF10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR but you always wished it was faster, the Tamron is a good option. It has less range than the Fujifilm lens, but you're one stop faster. Is that a good enough trade-off for you and your photography and/or videography? If you're a vlogger, perhaps it is. If you're a landscape photographer, perhaps not. Check out my unboxing and first impressions of this compact ultrawide zoom lens.

Yes, it's a functional LED light, compact, powerful, useful, etc. What makes this lighting system stand out is its design. As soon as I saw it I wanted to review it. As soon as I had it, I wanted to touch it and play with it. As soon as I played with it, I wanted to start using it.
