Philip Reeve tested the lens and writes:

This is a character lens, appreciated for what it is—one with unique and specific characteristics based on an old design from photography’s romantic eras. If it aligns with your taste, you’ll love it. If not, you’ll likely find it unappealing. There’s little room for middle ground or lukewarm feelings with a lens like this.

TAMRON 90mm macro — 45 years of evolution and continual refinement

In 1979, TAMRON unveiled its groundbreaking 90mm macro lens, SP 90mm F/2.5 (Model 52B). During that time,the use of macro lenses was mainly limited to the copying of documents. When photographers were clamoring for a mid-telephoto lens with a short MOD (Minimum Object Distance), TAMRON delivered a truly revolutionary product. The Model 52B combined macro functionality with stunning bokeh and exceptional image quality, making it a versatile choice for general photography. Nicknamed “Tamukyu,” a portmanteau of two Japanese words, it quickly gained acclaim, particularly among nature photographers and portrait enthusiasts.
TAMRON continued to innovate in response to evolving photographic needs, releasing subsequent models such as the SP AF90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 (Model 272E) and SP 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 VC USD (Model F004). In 2016, TAMRON launched theSP 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 VC USD (Model F017), a further refinement of the Model F004. The digital-compatible coating technology, combined with its soft, natural bokeh and sharp detail rendering, continues to be favored by many photographers today.
Fast forward to 2024, the 45th anniversary of the first generation. TAMRON proudly introduces a highly anticipated mirrorless version of this iconic 90mm macro lens, the 90mm F/2.8 Di III MACRO VXD (Model F072). This lens continues TAMRON’s legacy of beloved brilliant performance with cutting-edge technology to forge a new chapter in the history of TAMRON’s 90mm macro lens.
