When I first heard the announcement of this new lens from Tamron, I was more excited than I have been for a while over new glass! As a pro photojournalist, I have quite a bevy of lenses. I was interested in this from past experience with Tamron lenses, notably the 90mm f/2.8 1:1 Macro. I have used this lens on a just-about weekly basis for over 10 years. I do not have the latest version of the 90mm, but the one I have is still working incredibly well, and I have never had a single problem with it, even as much as I have used it. The main things I loved about that lens is the absolutely wonderful bokeh, impeccable sharpness, and nice color rendition. The AF could of course be better, but maybe it is in the newer versions, I can't say. I became aware of the 90mm lens over 15 years ago when I bought the 90mm f/2.5 version of the lens for Minolta, which I used on...

Some minor issues to be aware of., By NormC (WA United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Tamron AF 60mm f/2.0 SP DI II LD IF 1:1 Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics) Others have already written plenty about the various imaging qualities of this lens and I see nothing to argue with. Used correctly it delivers very high quality images in all regards. It's a better lens than I am a photographer. I'm very happy with it. Otherwise, here's a couple of thoughts about properties of this lens that a potential purchaser might like to be aware of... * It has a 55mm filter thread, which means filters should be relatively inexpensive. * The included bayonet-mount lens hood appears well made, fits nice and securely and is deep enough to be effective. On the other hand, it is likely to interfere with available or artificial light sources when working with very close range subjects, so you'll probably need to remove it when focus distance is less than around a foot or so. On yet another hand, the working distance at closest focus is very generous for a macro lens of this length, which is very appreciated in practice. This...

It was a great deal and I got some more incentive as Tamron has a good rebate program that can be combined with their education rebate program as well. Amazon shipped it out quickly and the lens was well packaged and had no signs of damage from packaging or shipping. I received this lens the day of this review and I've already taken over 500 pictures. I'm using it on a D70 and a D90 so with the cropped sensor it's effective angle of view is 93mm. The internal focus is working flawlessly. There is a small switch which will allow you to change over to manual focus and the manual focus works well. The focus ring you use in manual focus is well built and works easily and quickly. The image quality is good. Bokeh is also good. It comes with a lens hood which should be used to keep unwanted stray light from getting into your picture. I'm an average user and this is a really... Read more |
