| Latest Review Posted | Tamron SP MF MACRO 1:1 (72B) 90mm F2.8
This is one of my favourite lenses. It works equally well as a portrait and macro lens. The focusing action is super smooth, and it has bokeh to match. It's a lens that really uses its fast aperture to good effect.
To achieve 1:1 magnification you need to be quite close to the subject - and the lens extends reasonably far. But the continuous focus means you can use the lens just as well at intermediate magnifications. It's just a whole lot more convenient than, say, extension rings. And flare is low because of the extremely deep-set front element.
The lens is very light thanks to its plastic construction, but it feels very well built (no visible seams) and I can't imagine it breaking. I even like the functional Tamron lens cap! |
