Product description
Announced Sep 13, 2012

A modern version of a classic Tamron lens, the SP 90MM F2.8 Di VC USD 1:1 Macro features Tamron's Vibration Correction technology for optical stabilization and a USD (ultrasonic silent drive) AF motor for quiet and fast focus, with full-time manual focus override. Construction comprises 14 elements in 11 groups, including two XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) glass elements and one LD (Low Dispersion) element. A rounded 9-blade aperture diaphragm should ensure attractive out of focus backgrounds. The lens is available to fit Canon, Nikon and Sony cameras; the Sony-mount version does not include stabilization, and is designated SP 90MM F2.8 Di USD 1:1 Macro.
