About this product

Product Information

Digitally Integrated Design, is a designation Tamron puts on lenses featuring optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras. This lens employs an IF (Internal Focusing) system that maintains the overall length of the lens during focusing. It uses two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements that effectively compensate for chromatic aberration. Providing high-contrast, outstanding image quality and a soft out-of-focus background effect it incorporates an AF/MF one touch switchover mechanism built into the focus ring (for Canon & Nikon only). Super performance series provides high performance through outstanding design specifications. The lens features the new FEC (Filter Effect Control) function that enhances operational ease of Polarizing Filter use. The new Filter Effect Control is designed to rotate the filter to the desired position while the hood is attached. This is accomplished by turning the FEC ring that in turn rotates the portion of the filter mount where the filter is mounted.

  • Pretty Darn Close

    Well, it's a gem of a lens. Show me another lens which has a non-rotating filter mounting but which allows you to rotate your filter, with a dedicated rotating ring, just behind the base of the mounted lens shade. It also has the "manual, auto-focus" switching built into the focus collar. You (push) click that collar "outward" for "AutoFocus", and back, "inward", for Manual-Focus. This is the old fashioned way of doing it, It works well. But the auto-focus is also a bit slow and old fashioned. Adequate, especially for macro, but not up to focus speed compared to modern lenses. It is a wonderful size and weight for it's focal length, f/3.5 seems a perfect wide open aperture. The lens is a perfect size and weight for what it delivers: a 24" working distance for 1" butterflies and an impressive critical focus which almost hits the highest marks of image excellence. I'm hoping for a modern MKII, as this one is now "discontinued".

  • Excellent Long Macro

    I am quite satisfied with the performance of this lens in the short time I have had it. Very sharp with nice bokeh. A great focal length for handheld spring flower shots although it can be a challenge to manage without stabilization. I have not had a chance to shoot it with my tripod yet but I expect it to do very well. The af is fine. I think if you need to go from close to infinity or the opposite, it will hunt so the key is to select the distance I am shooting at first and not expect to go back and forth instantly.

  • Sharp for macro shooting.

    The lens is sharp and produces great photos. It is very well built. The only challenge I've had is that it seems to search on autofocus in close range. It will focus out to infinity, then back into the subject, like it doesn't initially know whether to focus in or out until it goes all the way to the extreme.

  • Getting the close up shot from a distance.

    I am very pleased with this lens. I use this lens on my Nikon D7000. I have the Tamron 90mm macro. And this lens is great for shooting from a distance and getting the close up shot I need. Without having to get up real close.

  • Wonderful salesmanship

    I had trouble with my ordering address and they were nice enough to help me work it out. Can’t thank them enough.
