This Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di macro is a recent update to the highly popular AF 90mm f/2.8 SP macro. The lens is a designated lens which refers to an optimized lens design for image sensors especially regarding chromatic aberrations. Tamron also improved the coating of the lens elements to take care of the more pronounced reflections from the image sensor. The lens belongs to Tamron’s SP line up indicating a professional grade lens similar to Sigma’s EX lenses. On APS-C DSLRs the field-of-view is equivalent to about 145mm on full format cameras. The primary application of the lens is, obviously, macro photography but it’s not limited to that – infinity focus is possible.

The optical construction is made of 12 elements in 9 groups without any special elements. The lens features 9 aperture blades. Typical for most macro lenses the lens provides a max. Magnification of 1:1 at a min. focus distance of 0.29m. The filter size is 55mm. With a weight of 405g and a size of 72x97mm it is more compact than e.g. the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM macro – at least an infinity focus. The length of the lens grows considerably when focusing towards closer distances.

The build quality is very good with an exceptionally smooth but little damped focus ring. The front element does not rotate so using a polarizer is not problem. Besides the lens and a soft bag the lens package also includes a lens hood but this is really a strictly optional accessory item because the front element resides deep within the lens (about 2cm below the front) making it a little hard to clean the lens.
