I really wanted a macro lens because when you do not have the time to go out to scenic places just your backyard can open up a whole new world that is waiting to be explored and represented in beautiful pictures.

Bokeh; Sharpness; Color saturation; contrast; Optics overall; A six year warranty

I don't want to quote build quality as a weakness (but have to mention here for clarification since some people might have written it as a weakness) because you cannot expect all metal construction for the price; It is good quality polycarbonate and will surely last quite long if not forever

I picked up a Tamron 90mm Macro F 2.8 a week back and I was truly dissappointed to see the aperture change to F5.6 at close range. There is no manual way of controlling the aperture to keep it steady at F 2.8 as it is made to seem in th specs.

1.Good sharpness; 2.Good flash reproduction; 3.Good pricing

1.No F2.8 aperture control trhough the focus range; 2; No VR or IS in the lens

With 10 elements in 9 groups, it's worth noting there's no internal AF motor so mounting it on a Nikon D3100, D5100 or similar which doesn't have an in-built AF motor will limit you to using it manual focus only.

This is a good budget macro for all around work with plants, flowers, and insects. The MFD is pretty long, but not quite like the S 100mm macro lens. If you're on a budget this is a good choice. My only gripe is the lens could be sharper (like the S100mm) and the AF speed is quite slow.

As Tamron's macro has a focal length of 90mm rather than 100mm or 105mm, the lens has to be slightly closer than would otherwise be the case to record a true macro (1:1) image.

Great value for money

Wide-open non-macro MTF is poor

As ‘s has a focal length of 90mm rather than 100mm or 105mm, the lens has to be slightly closer than would otherwise be the case to record a true macro ( ) image. That said, Tamron also offers a 180mm macro for times where a greater camera-to-subject distance is more appropriate.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bra pris på en Underbar glugg som levererar perfekta bilder i sitt register! Om du ska köpa en Canon eller Nikonglugg med denna ljusstyrka då får du hosta upp Stora slantar. Men då Canon tecknar lite sneda linjer så kan jag varmt rekommendera denna glugg!

+Ljussyrkan; ++Manuell bländarring; Underbart; +Raka linjer; +Macro; +Poträtt; +Snabb fokus; +Hållbar fattning; +Underbara linser

--STORT MINUS--HÖGLJUD FOKUSERING; Om man ska fota i känsliga miljöer är denna glugg helkass med tanke på den högljudda fokuseringen; -Om jag ska vara petig så väger denna lite väl mkt:; -Ger ett plastigt utseende; och känns även plastig på kameran; men den levererar absolut Inte plastighet i
