For the price it can't be beat. Each Tamron 90mm macro lens has been better than the previous model.... excellent job Tamron !!! If you don't need "vibration reduction", this is your lens. The images are sharp and clear. Similar models from the major camera makers cost hundreds more. So use that saving to develop those great pics you will take with this lens.

The lens was in excellent condition. Clean optics, smooth focus ring movement and no knicks or dents. Very well packaged.

There're are a few options available when we're talking about true macro lens (1:1). But let's make a pro/ cons on this one: +Pros+ * Great Image Quality (tack sharp, and excellent colour rendition) * 90mm seems a fair macro distance to work for and it can also be used in another types of photography (f2.8 at 90mm seems very portrait friendly) * Truly wonderful and creamy bokeh * Quick AF/ MF system (push-pull the ring and you're there) * Manual Focus Ring (smooth, good control) * Focus limit system (FULL/ LIMIT) [it can lock down the first half focus distance, or lock down the second half focus distance] --- I mean, you can use it only with closer macro distances, and the other way around, so you can get faster focus when you're using as a portrait lens as an example. -Cons- - Fair Overall Built Quality - I mean, it could be better built, more rock solid feel, rather than plastic feel - Lack of IS (great when you're not using the lens for macro shots) Simple conclusion, if you're looking for a macro lens, Tamron 90mm is a great choice.Read full review
The only thing I don't like about the lens is the lack if image stabilization. Obviously it is available on the more expensive version, so I made that choice, but it'd sure make things easier. Other than that, I love the lens. Good build and super sharp images. I have no complaints from the seller. Good value.

Crisp sharpness, even with Canon's AA filter which creates amazing detail. Smooth MF for scenarios where there isnt enough light for the Af. AF hunts a quite a bit in interior lighting, but using the lens in MF 80% of the time anyway, so this hasn't been much of a concern. AF is slow compared to wildlife lenses, but is fine for portraits and macro, where you're composing the shot more than capturing an exact moment.
