Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Di III VXD 1:1 Macro

A testament to Tamron's heritage of superior imaging and optical performance, the Tamron 90mm f/ 2.8 Di III VXD Macro Lens for Nikon Z is a remarkable addition to the world of macro photography. Celebrated for its high resolution and exquisite bokeh, this lens is specifically designed for mirrorless cameras, reinforcing Tamron's legacy through a meticulous optical simulation process. It offers unparalleled resolution from center to edge, delivering soft, velvety bokeh and a three-dimensional effect that highlights your subject with precision. The optical construction of this lens is composed of 15 elements in 12 groups, including four special LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements.

These elements effectively suppress light ray divergence, providing excellent correction for both spherical and chromatic aberrations. The BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating significantly reduces ghosting and flare, ensuring that even in challenging backlit conditions, the finest details are captured with clarity and accuracy. This lens is highly corrected for superior flat-field resolution, making it ideal for photographing flat subjects such as documents and coins, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness and minimal distortion. The Tamron 90mm f/ 2.8 Macro Lens is versatile, allowing photographers to explore unique photographic expressions across various genres, from macro photography of flowers and insects to landscapes, portraits, and even snowflake photography.

It features Tamron's first 12-blade circular aperture, delivering stunning circular bokeh and starburst effects. The lens achieves a 1:1 to 1:4 magnification ratio at a focus range of 0.23 - 0.49 m ( 9.1 - 19.3 in), and it effectively suppresses vignetting in the image corners. Composed entirely of bokeh-friendly spherical lens elements, it minimizes onion ring bokeh, allowing you to enjoy exquisite circular bokeh. Compact and lightweight, the lens measures just 126.5 mm (5in) in length and weighs 630g ( 22.2 oz), making it easy to carry and handle.

Its new hood design features a sliding window for easy filter rotation, allowing seamless adjustment without removing the hood. The lens is compatible with TAMRON Lens Utility software, enabling customization of lens and camera settings via the Focus Set Button. The software also allows firmware updates and offers new functions exclusive to the mobile version, enhancing the shooting experience. The lens features a high-speed, high-precision AF system powered by TAMRON's VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. This system provides precise focus adjustments with a high degree of accuracy, making it perfect for capturing moving subjects like children and butterflies.

The nearly silent operation of the linear motor system ensures confidence when shooting in quiet settings. Additional features include a focus limiter switch for faster focusing, precise torque for accurate manual focus operation, and a user-friendly design with improved grip performance. The lens supports advanced mirrorless camera functions such as Hybrid AF, Eye AF, M/A Mode, and in-camera lens correction for shading, chromatic aberration, and distortion. The Tamron 90mm f/ 2.8 Macro Lens is built with moisture-resistant construction and a fluorine coating on the front element, providing protection against dirt, dust, moisture, and fingerprints.

This lens is a perfect companion for photographers seeking exceptional optical performance and versatility in their macro photography endeavors.
