ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The Tamron F072 90mm f/2.8 Di III Macro VXD is a high-performance mid-telephoto macro lens designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. Marking the latest evolution of Tamron's legendary 90mm macro series, this lens combines cutting-edge optical design with modern autofocus technology to deliver exceptional sharpness and beautifully smooth bokeh.

With true 1:1 macro magnification, subjects are reproduced on the sensor at life size, allowing photographers to capture incredible detail in flowers, insects, textures and small objects. The lens also performs exceptionally well beyond macro photography, making it an excellent choice for portraits, product photography, landscapes and tabletop photography.

A fast f/2.8 aperture combined with Tamron's first-ever 12-blade circular aperture produces stunningly smooth background blur and attractive starburst effects when stopped down. Paired with Tamron's VXD linear motor autofocus system, the lens provides fast, precise and quiet focusing performance.
