Get in Close. The Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di III VXD’s short-telephoto focal length, bright f/2.8 aperture, 1:1 macro capability, and 9.1-inch minimum focusing distance make it especially well-suited for close-up shots of small objects, although anything you put in front of it will look great. Its circular twelve-blade aperture produces twelve-point starburst effects around point-light sources while giving you excellent depth-of-field control and consistent brightness. Using an APS-C camera? This lens will give you 135mm-equivalent focal length.

Look Sharp! The twelve-group/fifteen-element optical formula includes four low-dispersion elements to give you sharp, high-contrast images across the image plane. Each lens element has a BBAR-G2 coating that combats ghosting, internal reflections, and flare while helping maintain sharpness and color fidelity even in strong light.

Fast Focusing. The 90mm’s VXD linear-motor autofocus system tracks even the most fast-moving subjects quickly, accurately, and smoothly, making it ideal for still and video use. You can use the focus-limiter switch to improve performance speed by reducing its focusing range, and there’s full-time manual-focus override for even greater precision. This lens is compatible with Sony’s Direct Manual Focus function and Eye AF on cameras with those features.

Smart, Durable Build. You can use this lens in inclement conditions thanks to its moisture-resistant build. The front element’s fluorine coating protects against smearing and debris, and the lens hood has a sliding window that makes swapping filters a snap.

Tamron Lens Utility Compatible. This lens is compatible with Tamron’s Lens Utility software, which lets you customize settings, assign functions, and more.
