Tamron 180mm f/3.5 Di LD IF Macro 1:1 SP AF review by MediaGuru
I spent countless hours researching for a good macro lens and basically had it narrowed down to the Sigma 70mm, Tamron 90mm and 180mm. I read complaints about how close you have to get with the 70 or 90mm lenses and decided that any extra distance I could place between myself and shy animals and...
Pros:
- Excellent IQ
- smooth focus ring
- very little distortion
- little to no chromatic aberration or vignetting
Cons:
- Wiggles ever so slightly when mounted to my Sony A57

Tamron SP AF 180mm f/3.5 Di LD (IF) Macro Review
In order to capture true macro photographs, where the image is the same size as the original object, the lens has to be used at close range. This can cause problems, however, such as when the lens casts its own shadow over the subject.

Extra distance was invaluable
I combined this superb lens with a new Sony A65 (also reviewed recently) at a recent shoot. The subject was 'Harvest Mice' and I was 'shooting' the delightful little devils in company with two other enthusiasts in shoot leader's garden shed.

Love it...!
Been wanting this lens for years, very glad I finally bought one. Great images, super sharp. Auto focus IS slow and it hunts most of the time but I knew this about this lens before buying. It is a Macro after all and this is kind of normal for this kind of lens.
