Tamron 90mm macro test shots
4

From my purchase the other day of 5 lenses for $100AUD ...

Very pleased with this lens straight onto the K3.

I had a bit of a play this afternoon with focus peaking which worked very well.

Build quality is pretty good and it seems quite sharp from f2.8, centre screen.

Macro photography is a genre that i'm not overly familiar with but provides some spectacular images and I think I scored a great result for the price.

If your considering a macro lens, then we do have some choice in K mount with this, the Sigma 105mm and several versions of the Pentax 100mm and anything else i've missed.

MTF chart courtesy of ephotozine website whom I find pretty reliable and in line with my findings. f8-f11 is the sweet spot and obviously more ideal for macro than f2.8 but centre sharpness at f2.8 is more than acceptable for portrait work.
