Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro VC USD Lens Review

Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro VC USD Verdict

As you might expect from a 90mm macro lens from Tamron, the optical performance of this lens is excellent. The lens delivers superb sharpness and contrast plus distortion, chromatic aberrations and falloff are kept in check also. The Vibration Compensation system is a useful addition for hand-held photography also.

The suggested retail price is the only dampener on this lens. Hopefully as the lens becomes more available, the price will drop from that at launch.

The Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro VC USD lens has excellent optical performance.
