Tamron's legendary Adaptall-2 macro — the classic 90mm f/2.5 that defined affordable macro photography.
The Tamron SP 90mm f/2.5 Adaptall-2 is one of the most celebrated third-party lenses in photography history. The original Tamron 90mm macro launched the company's reputation for macro excellence that continues today. The Adaptall-2 mount system allows the same lens to be used on virtually any SLR system by swapping the mount adapter ring.
Optical performance earned this lens the nickname 'the portrait macro' — it excels at both macro and portrait distances. Macro sharpness is outstanding for the era. At portrait range, the rendering is beautifully smooth with the combination of 90mm and f/2.5 producing excellent subject isolation. The faster f/2.5 aperture (vs f/2.8 on later versions) was distinctive.
