Tamron's latest SP 90mm f/2.8 macro with VC and USD — the most refined version of a legendary macro lens.
The Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Macro (Model F017) launched in 2016 as the latest refinement of Tamron's legendary 90mm macro, first introduced in 1979. The F017 updated VC stabilisation, coatings, and weather sealing while maintaining the optical heritage Tamron is known for.
Optically excellent — true 1:1 macro magnification with outstanding sharpness at close focus. VC stabilisation provides approximately 3.5 stops of correction — essential for handheld macro work. USD motor is fast and quiet. eBAND coating reduces flare and ghosting effectively.
Nikon F mount with 62mm filter thread. Weighs 610g. Weather-sealed moisture-resistant construction — first for this lens line. Minimum focus distance 30cm at 1:1 magnification. Fluorine coating on front element. Arca-Swiss compatible tripod mount optional.
Available used at mid-range prices. The most refined 90mm macro Tamron has made. Competes favourably with the Nikon 105mm VR and Canon 100mm L IS at a lower price. Check VC operation — should be silent and smooth. An outstanding macro lens that also excels as a portrait lens.
