Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 = Worlds First?

Sounds like Tamron is releasing a new APS-C ultra wide... they are calling it the worlds first?
I don't get it. I had to double check my 11-18mm f/2.8 to make sure it still exists...

World's first large-diameter F2.8 ultra-wide-angle zoom with new scenery.
The 11-20mm F / 2.8 DiⅢ-A RXD (Model B060) is for Sony E-mount compatible with APS-C size mirrorless interchangeable- lens cameras, which has unprecedented brightness of F2.8 through and outstanding portability. A large-diameter ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. The brightness of F2.8 is the world's first for Sony E mount.
Since the shutter speed can be kept high even when shooting in dark places, you can take sharp pictures with less camera shake. In addition, special glass materials are effectively placed to satisfactorily correct various aberrations. Achieves clear image quality and high resolution performance. The size is so light and compact that you can't think of it as a large-diameter ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, and it is recommended not only for everyday use but also for travel destinations where you want to reduce your luggage. In addition, the shortest shooting distance of 0.15m at the wide-angle end and 0.24m at the telephoto end has been achieved, allowing you to get as close as you want to the subject. The AF drive is equipped with a high-speed, precise stepping motor unit RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive). A simple drip-proof structure and antifouling coat are also used, making outdoor shooting safe. From everyday life to travel destinations, everything you see is your work. Footwork This lens, which is light and allows you to take a single shot with a large aperture, expands the enjoyment of taking pictures.

The Worlds First ...... *(for Sony)* ....

How does that make sense?

Tokina did it first long time ago for Canon and Nikon.

Perhaps Doge is running Tamron's marketing department:

So aperture! Very Lens! Many zoom! WOW!

Judging by comments posted by Sony fans on DPR, they seem to consider Sony "the world".

Nothing to see here but a tipical clickbait title. It is clearly stated in the description that it's the worlds first for Aps-c Sony E-Mount

If you are simply releasing your version of what everyone already has, it's really weird to call it the worlds first...

It is weird and misleading, almost wrong. But they do "come clean" it in the text, so it is not a lie, just marketing (pretty small difference between the two, isn't it?). I am pretty sure a lot of folks will fall for it.

Thats what they mean by it. Just marketing hyperbole speak, speaking to Sony E users.

Yeah somewhat similar. This is common marketing nonsense.

Any reviews? Comparable specs to the dfa*1118 but third party and milc. A lot cheaper of course.
