High optical performance and image reproduction: Continuing the legacy
TAMRON's 90mm lenses have been revered by photographers for their exceptional resolution and smooth bokeh. The new 90mm F2.8 MACRO lens, crafted for mirrorless cameras, elevates this legacy through advanced optical simulations. This lens delivers incredible resolution from center to edge and produces soft, artistic bokeh with a striking three-dimensional effect that brings the subject to life. Its optical construction includes 15 elements in 12 groups, featuring four specialized LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements to control light dispersion and effectively correct both spherical and chromatic aberrations. The BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating reduces ghosting and flare, capturing every detail with sharpness, even in backlit scenarios. With such outstanding optical performance, photographers can explore a variety of genres, including macro, portrait, tabletop, and long-distance photography. Additionally, APS-C users can enjoy an equivalent focal length of around 135mm while maintaining a bright F2.8 aperture, making this lens versatile across different formats.
Exceptional flat-field performance
The new TAMRON 90mm F2.8 MACRO is meticulously designed to deliver superior flat-field resolution, perfect for photographing flat subjects like documents, artwork, or product packaging. When working in close-up photography where shallow depth of field can compromise edge sharpness, this lens shines by providing consistent sharpness from edge to edge, uniform illumination, and minimal distortion. Photographers can count on it for capturing fine details without any loss of clarity across the frame.
12-blade circular aperture for stunning bokeh and starburst effects
For the first time, TAMRON introduces a 12-blade circular aperture in the 90mm F2.8 MACRO, creating beautifully round bokeh that photographers crave. Especially in macro photography, where magnifications range from 1:1 to 1:4, the circular aperture remains perfectly round at wide open settings. This design minimizes vignetting and allows for exquisite circular bokeh, enhancing the overall image quality. Additionally, when the aperture is stopped down, it produces dramatic 12-point starburst effects, ideal for capturing light sources like city lights or candle flames, adding a dramatic flair to your images.
Compact and lightweight design
At just 5" (126.5mm) in length and a maximum diameter of 79.2mm, the 90mm F2.8 MACRO is compact enough to carry everywhere, fitting comfortably in the hand. Weighing only 22.2oz (630g), it's easy to handle and ideal for extended shooting sessions, ensuring you never miss a shot, whether on the go or in the studio.
Innovative hood design with sliding window for easy filter adjustment
The 90mm F2.8 MACRO includes a newly designed lens hood with a sliding window, allowing photographers to easily adjust filters like PL, ND, or cross-screen filters without having to remove the hood. This feature makes filter adjustments seamless, maintaining shooting flow and precision, so photographers can focus on capturing the perfect shot without interruption.
