How To Use The Tamron 90mm f2.8 Di III Macro VXD Lens for Sony E
Achieve Stunning Optical Performance
Tamron’s 90mm f2.8 Di III Macro VXD Lens for Sony E builds upon a series of 90mm macro lenses to create a mirrorless version of a well-loved classic. Its premium optical construction of 15 elements in 12 groups features 4 special glass LD (Low Dispersion) elements that suppress spherical and chromatic aberrations for consistently sharper results. A BBAR-G2 coating on the lens minimises ghosting and flaring to capture every detail in your shot, even in backlit conditions. The lens’ high-quality construction enables high resolution from the centre of your image right to the edges. With such impressive optical performance, it’s prepared for a range of shooting scenarios, and you can use it with APS-C format cameras to achieve the same results.
Impressive Flat-Field Resolution
The Tamron 90mm f2.8 Di III Macro VXD Lens for Sony E is highly corrected for optimal flat-field resolution. This feature ensures that when shooting close-ups, there is no significant loss of resolution at the edges of the image, maintaining sharpness and illumination across the entire frame with less distortion. This flat-field performance makes the lens suitable for photographing documents, currency, artwork, and product packaging with clear results.
Circular Bokeh and Starburst Effects
Tamron’s original 90mm macro lens boasted incredible bokeh capabilities. In celebration of its 45th anniversary, the Tamron 90mm f2.8 Di III Macro VXD Lens for Sony E combines that excellent performance with modern technology. It incorporates a 12-blade aperture diaphragm, a first for Tamron, and entirely spherical elements for circular bokeh even in the macro range with a maximum magnification in between 1:1 to 1:4. The 12-blade design also enables starburst effects when the aperture is stopped down, which is ideal for shooting creative images that incorporate point-sources of light.
Convenient, User-Friendly Design
The Tamron 90mm f2.8 Di III Macro VXD Lens for Sony E has a compact, user-friendly design for convenient shooting. Weighing just 630g with a length of 126mm and a maximum diameter of 79.2mm, the lens is portable, lightweight, and suitable for all-day carry. A number of design elements also allow for a seamless shooting process. These include a Focus Set Button for assigning camera function and Tamron Lens Utility function, a focus limiter switch for faster focusing and refocusing, and precise torque for accurate manual focus operation. Even the included lens hood features a new design with a sliding window, allowing you to rotate your filters without having to adjust your entire setup.
