The Tamron 90mm f2.8 SP Di USD VC 1:1 Macro lens is a short telephoto prime designed for full-frame DSLRs and optimised for close-up shooting. The lens offers a life-size magnification ratio of 1:1 and inherits many of the standout features that made its predecessor so popular, in addition to a couple of new enhancements to improve overall performance. XY-Shift compensation has been newly added to reinforce VC functionality, further improving image stabilisation capabilities at any shooting distance from infinity to macro. Also, the near-silent USD (Ultra Silent Drive) motor has been fine-tuned for faster, more precise and quieter autofocusing, and it also supports full-time manual override.

VC Enhanced with Shift Compensation

  • Integrated accelerometer to compensate for movement on the x-y plane
  • Working with a gyro sensor, the accelerometer detects and enables motion compensation for camera shake
  • Provides maximum efficiency in image stabilization optimized for all focal lengths

USD Actuator maximized for Macro Photography

  • Improved focusing speed and accuracy

  • Coatings are applied to critical element surfaces for maximum light transmission
  • eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) Coating boasts outstanding anti-reflection performance across nearly the entire range of visible rays
  • BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating utilizes traditional multi-layered, anti-reflection technology
  • Combined, they virtually eliminate extraneous reflections, ghosting, and flare
  • Enables the lens to achieve flawless, crystal clear images.

Circular Aperture to Achieve Beautiful, Rounded Blur Effects

  • The 9-blade diaphragm retains a nearly perfect circular opening
  • Creates beautiful circular highlight blur (bokeh) for pinpoints of light in the out of focus background
  • In combination with the optical design, spectacular background blur effects can be achieved.

Focusing Options Perfectly Suited to a Macro Lens

  • The focus limiter makes it possible to shorten the time for accurately focusing on a subject when the working range is known
  • The lens also features an Internal Focusing system, so the overall length of the lens never changes
  • The user is assured of a comfortable working distance of at least 139 mm (5.5 in.) from the front of the lens

Tamron: A New SP Design Concept

Beginning with the SP 35mm and SP 45mm, Tamron has utilized a new design concept to enhance the outstanding performance provided by the SP Series lenses. Our attention to every engineering detail has resulted in the most advanced optical and electro-mechanical designs being incorporated in SP Series lenses, creating a new benchmark for high performance and visual elegance. The design philosophy embraces the importance of comfortable, ergonomic operation and positive tactile feedback, crucial factors in all types of photography. The newly designed all-metallic barrel features an embedded concave ring at the base of the lens - for a firm hold and comfort necessary for a steady shot. Switches are larger and reconfigured for smoother function and the typeface has been redesigned for intuitive legibility.
