REVIEW—TAMRON SPAF 90mm Di Macro lens]

This 90mm fixed focal length lens is a relatively fast f2.8 optic that can be used as a normal, focus-to-infinity lens, and also as a macro lens capable of 1:1 reproduction. It is well made with a simple push-pull clutch mechanism for changing from...

This lens focuses quickly and quietly. The “bokeh” – the out of focus background highlights – is particularly attractive. Images are sharp, with good contrast and neutral colour. Overall the optical quality of the lens is excellent ; Dislike: We found...

The Photozone survey of owners shows a high level of satisfaction with the Tamron. It is rated highly for build quality and optical and mechanical performance with no nasty surprises in distortion or chromatic aberration. In its own objective test...

Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di

Tamron's offering is a strong performer...

Nice focal length, good results, full-frame imaging circle

Not very much

A good choice for all-round work, with the advantage of a nice portrait focal length and good contrast.
