Tamron 90mm Macro Comparative Review

vs. the Pentax D-FA 100mm WR

Tamron 90mm Macro Comparative Review

Now that Sigma has (temporarily) discontinued the 105mm F2.8 macro lens, only two autofocus macro lens options remain available for Pentax in the 100mm focal length range: the Tamron 90mm F2.8 SP and the SMC Pentax-DA 100mm F2.8 WR macro.

Our latest review compares these two Pentax and Tamron lenses head-on.  We take a look at the build quality, AF speed, and, most importantly, image quality of the two lenses.  Which is sharper, and which is the better buy?
