Fabulous lens. Great deal.

This is a great lens for macro work and also portraiture if you're into that. Love the focus range limiter. And it's super light weight. Great addition to my camera bag.

Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di macro (Nikon mount) - Review / Lab Test Report

The Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di is a superb lens without any significant flaws and it's easily as good as the corresponding (classic) Micro-Nikkor - the resolution figures are extremely high, vignetting is marginal, CAs are low and distortions are non-existent.

Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro Review

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.
Pros:
  • Great value for money
Cons:
  • Wide-open non-macro MTF is poor

I also should admit, it is an excellent portrait lense, can produce images on par with any 'L' series lense of Canon.Some of them are herehttp://www.foto.rajkumar.infoWorth...
Pros:
  • | Stunnning sharp | A good Portrait lense
Cons:
  • | Slow AF | AF Hunts a lot | Growing barrel

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.
Pros:
  • Bokeh
  • Sharpness
  • Color saturation
  • contrast
  • Optics overall
  • A six year warranty
Cons:
  • 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
