Tamron 90mm f2.8 Di III Marcro VXD Nikon Z-Mount

To mark the 45th anniversary of the first generation of TAMRON 90mm macro lenses, Tamron is now launching an eagerly awaited mirrorless version of this iconic lens. This latest version combines the traditionally high imaging performance with state-of-the-art technology and continues the legacy of Tamron's macro lenses.

High optical imaging performance: the tradition continues

! The 90mm lenses from Tamron have long been known for their high resolution and beautiful bokeh. The 90mm F2.8 Macro lens for mirrorless system cameras continues this tradition with uncompromising performance. The lens offers unsurpassed imaging performance from the center to the edges of the image with soft bokeh and an almost three-dimensional effect that literally brings the subject to the foreground. The optical design consists of 15 elements in 12 groups, including four LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements made of special glass, which effectively suppress the tendency of light rays to diverge and excellently correct both spherical and chromatic aberrations. The BBAR-G2 coating (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) minimizes ghost images and stray light and ensures that the finest details of the subject are captured clearly and precisely, even in backlighting. This exceptional optical performance allows photographers to explore unique photographic expressions in many photographic genres, including macro, portrait, tabletop and many more. The outstanding macro performance of this lens can also be used with APSC format cameras. The widest aperture is F2.8 and the equivalent focal length is approximately 135mm.

Outstanding flat-field performance

The 90mm F2.8 Macro from Tamron has optimal optical correction and therefore offers excellent resolution even with subjects shot flat, such as documents, artwork or product packaging. This quality is particularly important for close-ups where the depth of field is too shallow to compensate for the loss of sharpness that can otherwise occur at the extreme edges of a flat subject. As this lens is optimally corrected, it offers sharpness from edge to edge, even illumination over the entire image area with minimal distortion.

Tamron's first 12-blade diaphragm for stunning circular bokeh and starburst effects

The 90mm F2.8 Macro features the first Tamron 12-blade diaphragm, setting a new standard for beautiful circular bokeh. Especially in the macro range with a maximum magnification of between 1:1 and 1:4, this special aperture ensures that the bokeh remains perfectly circular even when the aperture is wide open. The lens also effectively suppresses vignetting in the four corners of the image. The 90mm F2.8 Macro also consists entirely of spherical elements, which also contributes to a perfect, circular bokeh effect. In addition, the new slat design creates 12 rays for impressive starburst effects when the lens is stopped down. This makes it ideal for dramatic shots of scenes with point light sources such as candles on a birthday cake, but also for evening cityscapes.

Compact size with a length of just 126.5 mm

The 90mm F2.8 Macro is a medium-sized telephoto macro lens with a maximum aperture of F2.8 and a length of 126.5 mm. With a maximum diameter of only 79.2 mm, the lens fits comfortably in the hand and is easy to hold, making it compact enough to take anywhere. It is also very light at 630 g, so it can be carried comfortably for long periods of time.

New lens hood design with sliding window for easy filter rotation

The 90mm F2.8 MACRO comes with a new lens hood that has a sliding window to facilitate the use of filters. Filters such as PL, ND and cross-screen filters need to be rotated to adjust the respective effect, which often requires the lens hood to be removed. To avoid this inconvenience, the new design allows the photographer to simply rotate the filter through the sliding window. This allows for seamless adjustment without interruption, ensuring precise control of shooting conditions.
