Tamron F072 90mm f/2.8 Di III Macro VXD Nikon Z-Mount Lens

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The Tamron F072 90mm f/2.8 Di III Macro VXD is a high-performance mid-telephoto macro lens designed for Nikon Z-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Continuing the legacy of Tamron's iconic 90mm macro series, this lens delivers exceptional image quality, beautiful bokeh and advanced autofocus performance.

Featuring true 1:1 macro magnification, the lens captures subjects at life-size on the camera's sensor, making it perfect for photographing fine details such as flowers, insects and textures. Beyond macro photography, the 90mm focal length and bright f/2.8 aperture make it equally effective for portrait photography, product photography and creative close-ups.

The lens also introduces Tamron's first-ever 12-blade circular aperture, producing smooth, creamy bokeh and impressive starburst effects when stopped down. Combined with the VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor autofocus system, the lens offers fast, accurate and quiet focusing performance for both still photography and video.

KEY FEATURES

• True 1:1 Macro Magnification - Capture life-size detail with exceptional clarity.
• Fast f/2.8 Aperture - Ideal for portraits, macro photography and low-light shooting.
• VXD Linear Motor Autofocus - High-speed, precise and nearly silent autofocus.
• 12-Blade Circular Aperture - Smooth bokeh and striking starburst effects.

TRUE MACRO PERFORMANCE

The 1:1 macro capability allows subjects to be reproduced at life-size magnification, revealing extraordinary detail and texture.

This makes the lens ideal for photographing:

• Flowers and insects
• Product and tabletop photography
• Textures and fine details
• Jewellery and collectibles

With a minimum focus distance of just 0.23m, photographers can capture detailed close-ups while maintaining excellent subject separation.

VERSATILE MID-TELEPHOTO PRIME

Although designed primarily for macro photography, the 90mm focal length makes this lens extremely versatile.

It is well suited for:

• Portrait photography with soft background blur
• Food and product photography
• Landscapes and detail shots
• Creative close-up compositions

When used with APS-C Nikon Z cameras, the effective focal length becomes approximately 135mm, making it an excellent telephoto macro option.

SUPERIOR OPTICAL PERFORMANCE

Tamron's advanced optical design ensures exceptional clarity and detail.

Key features include:

• 15 elements in 12 groups
• Four LD (Low Dispersion) elements to reduce chromatic aberrations
• BBAR-G2 coating to minimize ghosting and flare

This design provides excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and high resolution, even when shooting macro subjects.

12-BLADE CIRCULAR APERTURE

The lens features Tamron's first-ever 12-blade circular aperture, delivering:

• Beautifully smooth, rounded bokeh
• Minimal onion-ring effects in highlights
• Stunning 12-point starburst effects when the aperture is stopped down

This creates visually striking images with strong subject separation.

FAST & PRECISE VXD AUTOFOCUS

The VXD linear motor autofocus system delivers exceptional focusing performance.

Benefits include:

• Fast and accurate autofocus
• High precision focus control in steps as small as 0.005mm
• Quiet operation suitable for photography and video

This ensures reliable focus tracking for moving subjects such as insects or wildlife.

TAMRON LENS UTILITY COMPATIBILITY

The lens supports Tamron Lens Utility software, allowing users to customize lens functions and update firmware.

Features include:

• MF Method for precise manual focus control
• A-B Focus for smooth focus transitions in video
• Assignable Focus Set Button

These tools allow photographers to tailor the lens to their workflow.
