From the manufacturer
Capture your most expansive imagination
The 20mm F/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 is fast handling and packs expressive power that is the signature of fixed focal lenses. Light weight and compact, the Model F050 is extremely portable, ideal for situations where you need to travel light. The Model F050 is a creative tool that dynamically captures scenery by maximizing the perspective unique to ultra wide-angle lenses. The incredibly short 0.11m (4.3 in) MOD (Minimum Object Distance) makes it possible to get closer to your subjects than you’d ever imagined. In addition to the F/2.8 aperture, the Model F050 is constructed using special glass materials including LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lens elements effectively arranged to quash aberrations. This lens provides outstanding optical performance across the entire frame, and delivers a sharp image, right down to the texture of the subject. With Moisture-Resistant Construction and dirt-resistant Fluorine Coating, photographers can shoot confidently outdoors.
Ultra wide-angle is dramatically creative
This lens provides outstanding optical performance and overall image quality, characteristics relentlessly demanded from a prime, fixed focal lens. The expert arrangement of the LD and GM specialized glass elements greatly controls aberrations, including chromatic aberrations. Tamron’s proprietary BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating reduces ghosting and flare, which can otherwise occur when taking a photo against the sun. Moreover, leveraging your camera body’s features* it delivers, throughout the frame, high resolution performance that maximizes the benefits of the latest high-megapixel cameras. Whether shooting on the street, full-scale landscapes or architectural photography, this lens delivers exceptionally crisp, colorful and beautiful images and helps you fulfill your creative ambitions. *When shooting with the camera’s lens correction function enabled.
Get closer to your subject. As close as 0.11m.
One of the key features that makes this lens so exciting is its amazing ability to shoot close-ups. With this lens, you can get closer to an object than you’d ever imagined. At the 0.11m (4.3 in) MOD, the lens achieves its maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. You’ll never again be frustrated because you cannot get close to an object while shooting. This remarkable performance allows users to create compositions that exploit dramatic perspective (closer subjects are larger, and distant ones are smaller) and that are unique to wide-angle lenses. By getting close to an object, you can produce a one-of-a-kind photo and leverage the beautifully blurred background bokeh.
The extreme portability enhances the limitless versatility of the lens
Take it with you anywhere. This lens travels as well as it performs. And because it’s matched to lightweight full-frame mirrorless cameras, your entire system becomes light, fast and nimble. It has a very compact body, weighing just 220g (7.8 oz) and an overall length of 64mm (2.5 in). It’s comfortably portable, highly maneuverable and amazingly easy to use and compose. Because the overall length does not change when focusing, you can get as close to an object as you need to without fear of accidentally bumping the front element. The lens has the same 67mm filter diameter as the other members of the series of Tamron high-speed lenses for Sony E-mount cameras. So you can swap filters (like polarizers), lens caps and other accessories for convenience. Who says great things can’t come in small packages?

I think this lens is great for someone who wants a decent ultra wide for under $300 and maybe doesn't use wide angles too much and doesn't want to spend money on the Tamron 17-28 or Sony 20mm 1.8 or maybe someone who wants a super light ultra wide with good quality. This Tamron 20mm f/2.8 is smaller, lighter, cheaper and has a much closer focus distance than both of those popular lenses. The macro like capabilities allow for some unique shots not possible with other lenses. You can completely blur out the backgrounds even with an ultra wide focal length! If you're going to be doing a lot more VIDEO than maybe one of the other two lenses are better for you. For occasional video this Tammy is fine.
Secondly, the lens does come with both a rear and front lens cap as well as a lens hood, however the lens hood is fairly cheap. Despite this, the lens hood still helps with reducing flaring and glare in images.
There are so many pros to this lens that will outweigh the cons, especially for the cost.
Pros - Small/compact, sharp at f/2.8, very affordable, decent build quality, distortion is very mild, close focus distance.
Cons - Autofocus is a tad slow and fairly noisy, build quality is decent but at the end of the day it's still plastic, some vignetting at f/2.8.
For me, I do primarily photography on it, so autofocus noise is fairly unimportant as I'm not doing film work. A lot of my photos are also on tripods and manually focused anyways, so autofocus speed is less important to me as well.
I'd say the image quality I've gotten from this lens is easily comparable with lenses that are twice the cost or more! If you're on a tight budget but still want a full frame lens, go for it!
Given the price, this is easily 5 stars!

Otherwise, decent lens. Right focal length at the right price. It’s the lens in my collection that I use the most TBH.
For $300 I expected a mediocre lens that I would regret buying. After returning from a trip to the Smoky Mountains I was blown away by the photos I took with lens. The COLOR POP and contrast really makes the photos look alive. (The 2 samples I uploaded are raw converted straight to jpg)
This lens is "soft and creamy" instead of "razor sharp" like the sigma arts and Sony g master lens Which is both good and bad. You can sharpen to your satisfaction in post and still get an excellent image. My 35mm sigma art is sometimes too sharp for landscapes and can make blades of grass and tree leafs very noisy and nasty so It's not an issue for me. At 2.8 it's a little too soft. f4 to f13 is perfect. f16 is a little soft and requires a little clarity and sharpening in post.
No the autofocus is not lighning fast like other reviews say but its not sluggish either. I love that it's weather proof but wish It had a af to mf switch on it that is needed for astrophotograhy and very low light shots. You will have to use back button auto focus to eliminate this issue.
It's a nifty little lens that can capture some excellent quality images. For the price I can not complain about this lens besides the lack of a af to mf switch on it. Grab it and use the $ you saved to put towards another lens you need!
