This is my first attempt using a macro lens and I have been pleasantly pleased by results. Images are sharp and background blurred as advertised. Since I am a novice at this stuff I did find the brochure less than helpful

I have not had the lens for very long but so far i am very pleased with it. The Tamron lenses have great quality without the huge price of other comparable lenses. I'm sure i will get many good years out of this lens.

I've used my first Tamron lens only in limited ways, since it's a recent purchase, and Adirondack winters limit its outdoor use somewhat. But I'm very impressed with its sharpness in autofocus and I love the limiter switch. The lens seems well made, the price was right, and I'm challenged to move beyond autofocus. I think it'll be what I hoped for, for macro photography, and I'd certainly recommend it to fellow enthusiasts.

I've had it two weeks and it's already had a lot of use. On my APS-C (crop sensor) Sony A-700 it is a very sharp portrait lens. Great focal length a beautiful bokeh. I've done a little macro work with very satisfying results. Should be even more fun when winter subsides, but even indoors, it's fun to take a closer look at the everyday. Had great luck with this lens the first time out to a local greenhouse, even without a tripod, which they wouldn't allow.It's lightweight, yet seems well built. I like how easy it is to switch from auto to manual focus, something you'll want to use more often with a 1:1 macro, since the areas of focus can been really, really minute!My first tamron and so far I'm pleased.A small negative is that, so far, the color doesn't match that of my Minolta lenses, though that might also be due to mixed lighting found indoors. I'll find out once I can get outside.[...] Why order anywhere else when you can deal with the best?

I am using this macro mostly for close-up of flowers and find it does a great job. It is a nice bright, sharp lens.Although it takes some time to auto f0cus, patience pays off in beautiful images.

This lens is great for close up's and portraits, fast focus, sharp, and light weight. Well worth the money.

Comments about Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro Autofocus Lens for Sony Alpha & Minolta Maxxum SLR:

Can't really say anything bad about this lens except maybe it's focussing speed being a tad on the slow side, however, that is quite normal for macro lenses. Otherwise, this lens is really sharp and accurate in focussing. Good color rendition makes this THE desired macro lens under $400. It might be discontinued in favor of the new 60mm Macro from Tamron though.

Comments about Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro Autofocus Lens for Sony Alpha & Minolta Maxxum SLR:

I've been using this lens for approximately three weeks now and am thrilled so far. The images are super-sharp at f5.6 and the f2.8 is great for twilight shots of our pets. The color rendition is super. I use the lens on my A700 and the focus sometimes hunts a bit, but not often enough to be irritating. I now want to swap my Sony kit lens for a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8!

Comments about Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro Autofocus Lens for Sony Alpha & Minolta Maxxum SLR:

Terrific clarity for this time-tested lense. With seven upgrades since its inception into the marketplace since 1979, this macro continues to be a desireable choice for many photographers at a reasonable price. With a 1:1 magnification ratio, you can take a look into a micro world with fabulous detail as well as producing wonderful portraits with its narrow depth-of-field. I am very happy with this purchase - especially from the B&H people.

This is a great lens. Before buying it i spend few months reading reviews and discussing in online forums about this lens, then i cam to a decision to buy this lens. After that I have sepnd around a month looking for reliable and economic seller who sell genuine product with waranty.

After getting the lens, I am completely satisfied and i feel i did not waste my time reading reviews and searching for the best seller.

I primarily use this lens for flower and insect photography. Images are crisp and vibrant. Option to limit the focal distance helps a lot. This lense is very good for portrait too.

Auto focus some times get confused while portrait photography, but limiting the focus helps a lot to come across this. With Macro photography any manual focus is mostly used.

I just returned from California. I used the lens at the Sherman Gardens and for family portraits. I got good results from the lens. It might be a little slow to focus but it didn't bother me. Good glass.
