Close-up For Tamron

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: A budget lens more than worthy to mount on the front of my wonderful Nikon F100 where it spends it's working life taking 5-star photographs.
Review: In my increasing world of photography, I need lenses to do specific jobs, a 28-200mm lens for general use, a wide-angle zoom for interiors, a 50mm standard lens for backup and a macro lens for close-up photography.
I need them to be cheap as...

A Great Macro Lens

Date of Review:  May 26, 2000
Review: The Tamron 90mm/2.8 Macro Lens is an excellent lens for both macro photography as well as an all-purpose lens. Costing under $400 this lens rivals the equivalent lenses made by Canon and Nikon while costing less than half the price. If you have ever...

Tamron 90mm f/2.8 SP Macro for Nikon

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: I'd buy it again. It takes drop dead gorgeous photos! Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of flash problem
Review: This Tamron is a great lens. I use it for both portrait work and macro work. I'm using it on a Nikon D100. I have also used it on a Nikon film body.

As I was looking for a portrait lens that wouldn't break the bank I decided between this...

Tamron beats Nikon

Date of Review:  May 4, 2006
The Bottom Line: Not just a bargain 3rd party lens, but a standard that is unmatched by Nikon.
Review:

Yes, it does happen. Sometime a 3rd party lens maker gets it right...and charges us less. A LOT Less!
Like many folks, I read the near legendary level ratings on this lens and finally took the leap as I would be able to compare it...

Favorite lens in my bag

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2004
Review: This lens takes incredible macro/close-up photography. Also great for portraits. Makes beautiful out of focus backgrounds while the subject is tack sharp.

Can't get any closer

Date of Review:  Jun 17, 2000
Review: I bought this lens primarily for use as a portrait lens. I liked its shallow depth of field. While I have found it to be pretty good in the portrait category; I found its greatest virtue to be its close up abilities. I am able to focus about an and...

This is NOT an F2.8 lens

Date of Review:  Nov 6, 2003
Review: A few words of caution to all would be buyers of this 'fast', super, reasonably priced lens.....

When mounted on the Nikon (F/N80)body, whether in Manual/Aperture or whatever priority, as soon as the distance scale goes BELOW FIFTEEN feet,...

Dazled

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2008
Review: I picked up a Tamron 90mm Macro F 2.8 a week back and I was truly dissappointed to see the aperture change to F5.6 at close range.
There is no manual way of controlling the aperture to keep it steady at F 2.8 as it is made to seem in th...
