Comments about Tamron Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di 1:1 AF Macro Auto Focus Lens for Nikon AF - with 6 Year USA Warranty:

This is a great lens for the money! All my lenses are 2.8 Nikon lenses, so I wasn't sure how much I'd like a Tamron lens. I was pleasantly surprised! If you're looking for a nice, less expensive, true macro lens, you'll be happy with this one!

Comments about Tamron Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di 1:1 AF Macro Auto Focus Lens for Nikon AF - with 6 Year USA Warranty:

Opticaly this lens if fantastic. Amazing sharpness, great bokeh and strong colours. As a portrait lens its almost too sharp!
It is let down by average build - both of mine have had grit get into the manual focus quickly so they lost that silky smooth feel and now grate.
Barrel extension can be a problem when your working up close and wind out to 1:1 hitting your subject on the way (oops too close) especially if using extension tubes to get even closer.
Its fabulous, one of the sharpest lenses I have used and I love the images it produces. If it has better dust sealing and no barrel extension it would be perfect.

I bought this prodcut to venture into close-up photography. So far i must have taken like 150 pictures or so and have been very satisified with it. This was my first experience with any Tamron lens and frankly I am impressed. I am currently using it with my D70 and am very happy with it.

Comments about Tamron Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di 1:1 AF Macro Auto Focus Lens for Nikon AF - with 6 Year USA Warranty:

It is one of my favorite lenses. Awesome construction, which is only matched by the quality of the glass. Provides incredible resolution with no distortions at all optical ranges. Makes stellar portraits. Great at extreme Close-up ranges but be aware of increased lens extension, which can significantly decrease your working distance. This same lens extension makes a hood almost unnecessary.
