I replaced my old Tamron 90mm macro lens, which had served me so well over many years, with this updated version. I am as delighted with this lens as with its predecessor.

It has the added advantage of VR and produces sharp, clean macro images - and is useful too for the odd landscape as...

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Simple Controls

Another one of our most popular Tamron lenses. Customers I have spoken to are often impressed with the build of the lens as well as the image quality that it produces. It is a very affordable alternative to some of the brand name lenses (Canon, Nikon) in similar focal lengths, offering 1:1 macro and...

Perfect for macro photography and portaiture. USD and VC features are great.

Beautiful blur.

The Tamron 90 has true macro capabilities, and unlike say a 60mm macro, allows you to stand somewhat back from your subject, for example "spookables" such as birds and insects.The 90 also has lot's of non-macro uses, especially creative portraits and subject-oriented landscapes such as a lone tree...

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction

What an amazing lens. If you think that you need canon or Nikon just because they are the same brand as your camera, this lens is on their level! It is an absolute wonder to work with, actually it's become more fun than work. Smooth, fast. VC is nice.

I'd really like to recommend this, there's a lot to like, Lenstip's review is right about the sharpness, colour and superb VC. However my experience means I can't - for me you're taking a chance with a Tamron. I've had 3 of these in 1 month, all sent back as defective.

Price if copy is good (especially now it's dropped for earlier unrealistic expectations); Sharp at f2.8, very sharp by f4 (at least where it does focus), build is decent for price; VC is extremely good; 3-position focus limiter useful; Hood (are you listening Canon

Tamron's woeful quality control (hence value for money = 0); Focus not quite as fast as Canon USM

The Tamron AF SP 90mm f/2.8 Di VC USD macro is undoubtedly a highly impressive lens and it has a easy game on an APS-C DSLR. Obviously it has been improved in a number of aspects over its predecessor. In terms of resolution, it is about as good as gets.

The 90mm f/2.8 Di USD VC updates Tamron's ‘classic' 90mm macro, and comes bursting with new features. It comes in Nikon, Canon and Sony mounts and fits APS-C and full-frame D-SLRs, although the Sony version doesn't feature Vibration Compensation (VC) due to the built-in IS in Sony bodies.

Extremely sharp even when used at its maximum aperture, the Tamron SP 90mm F2.8 Di VC USD Macro 1:1 is one of the best macro lenses on the market, comfortably outperforming its legendary predecessor with the same focal length.
