Tamron Di III Macro VXD Lens

A 1:1 magnification ratio means the lens can project an object onto your camera's sensor at its actual, life-size dimensions. This is the gold standard for true macro photography, allowing you to capture extreme detail in small subjects like insects, jewelry, or textures.

While it is a dedicated macro lens, the 90mm focal length and fast F/2.8 aperture make it an excellent choice for portraits. The 12-blade circular aperture produces a very soft, creamy background blur that helps isolate your subject beautifully.

The A-B Focus function allows you to program two specific focus points and transition between them smoothly with a single command. This provides a professional, cinematic focus-pulling effect that is much steadier and more precise than manual adjustments.

The sliding window allows you to rotate circular polarizers or variable ND filters without having to remove the lens hood. It is a practical design choice that saves time and prevents you from accidentally bumping your focus or zoom settings while adjusting your filters.

Yes, you can customize the focus ring rotation angle up to 720 degrees. This allows you to increase the 'throw' of the focus ring, giving you much finer control over your focus point, which is particularly useful for delicate macro work.

Beyond creating smooth bokeh, the 12-blade aperture produces distinct 12-ray starburst effects when you stop the lens down to smaller apertures. This adds a clean, professional aesthetic to light sources in landscape or night photography.
