Tamron 180mm f3.5 SP Di Macro Lens - Sony/Minolta Fit Further Details

The new SP AF180mm F/3.5 Di LD (IF) MACRO 1:1 is a medium telephoto lens that gives the user a longer working distance needed even in macro photography. In addition, to meet the needs of this dual-format world (silver-halide and digital), the optical system of the lens is designed to provide optimum performance when used with the latest digital SLR cameras that are becoming more popular than ever.

This lens employs an IF (Internal Focusing) system that maintains the overall length of the lens during focusing. Uses two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements that effectively compensate for chromatic aberration. Provides high-contrast, outstanding image quality and a soft out-of-focus background effect. 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.

Features the new FEC (Filter Effect Control) function that enhances operational ease of Polarising 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.

Comments about Tamron 180mm f3.5 SP Di Macro Lens - Sony/Minolta Fit:

Having spent a year with a 90mm macro trying to shoot insects that were no longer there because I was too close for their comfort it was a great relief to find that the extra working distance this lens gives you does indeed give you many more opportunities to get decent shots. It is as sharp(very) as the Tamron 90mm and has a great bokeh. i had to sell a very nice guitar to get this lens and have no regrets in doing so. The autofocus isn't great and the weight takes some getting used to but I would recommend this lens to anyone interested in macro work(it's good at the telephoto end too).
