90mm Macro VXD: superior resolution and creamy bokeh

The 90mm f/2.8 Di III Macro VXD (Model F072) is the highly anticipated mirrorless version of Tamron’s iconic 90mm macro lens, released on the 45th anniversary of the first generation. With years of evolution and continual refinement, this lens continues Tamron's legacy of brilliant performance with cutting-edge technology to forge a new chapter in the history of Tamron’s 90mm macro lens, a favourite of nature photographers and portrait enthusiasts.

Macro shooting at 1:1 magnification that immerses you in the macro world

Objects captured with this lens are recorded on the camera's image sensor at the same size as they are in real life. The f/2.8 brightness and unique world view of a macro lens allow you to express an engaging bokeh effect.

A mid-telephoto prime lens, ideal for a wide range of genres

This lens excels in a variety of photography genres beyond macro shots. Utilize its f/2.8 aperture for stunning portrait photography, leverage its close-focusing ability for captivating tabletop photos, and capture distant landscapes with remarkable image quality. When paired with an APS-C size camera, it transforms into a mid-telephoto macro lens with a focal length of 135mm (full-frame equivalent) while retaining the fast f/2.8 aperture.

Heritage of superior imaging and optical performance

Tamron’s 90mm f/2.8 Macro lens for mirrorless cameras continues the legacy of high resolution and beautiful bokeh. Its 15-element, 12-group optical design, including four LD elements, delivers sharp, edge-to-edge clarity while suppressing chromatic and spherical aberrations. BBAR-G2 coating reduces flare and ghosting for precise detail even in backlit conditions. The lens produces soft, velvety bokeh and three-dimensional subject separation, making it ideal for macro subjects like flowers and insects, as well as portraits, landscapes, and other close-up photography. Its flat-field correction ensures superior sharpness for flat subjects such as documents or coins, maintaining edge-to-edge clarity even at very shallow depths of field.

Compact size, just 126.5mm in length for easy carrying

The 90mm f/2.8 Macro is a mid-telephoto macro lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.82 and an overall length of 126.5mm. With a maximum diameter of only 79.2mm, the lens fits comfortably in the palm of the hand and is easy to hold, making it compact enough to take everywhere. It's also lightweight at 630g, making it more pleasant to carry for long periods of time.

Compatible with Tamron Lens Utility software

The 90mm f/2.8 Macro is compatible with Tamron Lens Utility software for PC and Android, allowing customisation of the Focus Set Button and firmware updates. The mobile version is especially useful for tripod-based macro work and adds new functions for stills and video. Key features include MF Method, which lets you fine-tune focus and adjust the focus ring rotation up to 720° for precise manual control, and A-B Focus, which allows quick switching between two preset focus positions for efficient macro shooting.

Capture must-get moments with high-speed, high-precision AF

The AF drive uses Tamron's VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. This AF system allows comfortable focusing from the MOD through infinity with high-speed and high-precision performance that represents the highest level in Tamron’s history. A high degree of focus and precision in steps of 0.005mm, less than one-tenth the width of a human hair. Tracking performance for moving objects is also outstanding, making it perfect for shooting subjects that move in unpredictable ways, such as children and butterflies. These features ensure you can capture once-in-a-lifetime photos in sharp focus. In addition, because the quiet operation of the linear motor system is nearly silent, the lens can be used with confidence when shooting still images or video in quiet settings. This high-performance AF demonstrates its advantages and prowess in various types of macro photography situations.

Highly convenient and easy to use

The lens features a focus limiter switch for faster AF and precise close-range focusing. The focus ring’s calibrated torque ensures accurate manual adjustments. Tamron’s refined design improves ergonomics, grip, and operability, with a glossy, scratch-resistant exterior and deep-ring grooves for better handling. The smooth, curved brand ring adds a touch of functional elegance and high-quality finish.

Unified 67mm filter size

Nearly all Tamron mirrorless lenses have a 67mm filter size. This allows users to use the same filter among a wide range of lenses. PL and ND filters are typically expensive, so sharing saves money. Additionally, this eliminates the need to search for caps with different diameters when switching lenses. All lenses in this series are compact, lightweight and extremely portable, making it easier when carrying multiple lenses at the same time.
