Sample pictures taken with a Tamron 90m F/2.8 ‘Macro Lens’
Pictures taken with Tamron SP Macro Lens 1:1, 90mm F/2.8 Lens.
We were in a budget when we purchased this lens little over 5 years ago. We had no hesitations when aquiring it because we had it previously in Pentax mount; we knew we weren’t going wrong with it. This lens is a great performer and has a superb sharpness from corner to corner. AF is a bit slow, but we understand that this lens when used as a macro, should be used in Manual focus. 90mm on a DSLR (approx 135mm) yields plenty of room between you and your subject; good when shooting insects that can be easily startled or can sting you. This lens has been updated with new coatings for better performance on DSLRs, it has been designated now as ”Di”.
Why not Nikon? As we said, we were in a budget by then; however, we have been contemplating the new sought after Nikon 105 VR. Compared now next to the Nikon 105, it is almost as big. However, build quality wise, Nikon is top notch.
–Very nice lens coming from the great Tamron’s SP series.
–This lens is highly recommended, very sharp and light weight–
