Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro

The beauty of the tiny world is always attractive to be explored. Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro comes to help you to explore the beauty of the macro. Compared to Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM L IS or Nikkor AF-S 105 mm f/2.8G IF ED VR Micro, Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro is cheaper. Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro only cost you about half price compared those two popular macro lenses. Even this lens is quite cheap, it does not mean that Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro is a bad lens.
SP code stands for "Super Performance" which means that this lens design for professional use. In some photography magazine that I ever read, reported that Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro even better than Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM L IS or Nikkor AF-S 105 mm f/2.8G IF ED VR Micro. For the Nikon mounting, Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro already equipped with AF motor so the AF system will still work in the Nikon entry level DSLR just like Nikon D40X, D60, D3100, D5100, etc. The Autofocus Manual focus switch also little bit different with the other lens, Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro use a focus clutch mechanism by moving the focus ring backward and forward. Overall, Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro can be regarded as best for value lens in macro category.
