Designed to be ideal for shooting small and nearby subjects, the new Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Macro Lens is a short telephoto with a large f/2.8 aperture and 12-blade diaphragm. It should be perfectly capable of creating stunning, flattering imagery no matter what you put in frame.
With its compact, lightweight design it should also make it easy and comfortable to handle whether shooting on a tripod or handheld. It features a moisture-resistant construction with fluorine and BBAR-G2 coatings which means shooters will be able to feel comfortable taking the lens into inclement conditions as well.
Obviously, this is a lens that might lean a bit more on the photographer’s side, but with its precision focusing assured by the lens’s Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive (VXD) linear motor it should be great for subject tracking and suppressing drive noise for all your shoot types.
The lens will also feature some improved autofocus performance with a focus limiter switch that will restrict the AF range and help prevent this new macro lens from endlessly searching throughout its full focusing reach so that shooters will be able to save time getting the shot they desire.
As mentioned above, the new Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Macro Lens is going to be available in both Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount versions. The lens is available for pre-order now with an expected ship date here in late October 2024.
Here are the full specs and purchase options for a Nikon Z-mount version:
