Tamron 90mm F2.8 Di III Macro VXD Lens - Nikon Z Mount

The Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro is a compact & lightweight, full-frame lens designed for Nikon mirrorless cameras. It's ideal for portrait, landscape and of course stunning 1:1 macro photography. This portable 90mm F2.8 lens features high-speed and high-precision AF with superb subject tracking performance plus a moisture-resistant construction and Fluorine coating so you can use it in adverse weather.

Optical performance and image reproduction
This lens offers unparalleled resolution performance from the centre to the edges, and delivers soft, blurred bokeh and a three-dimensional effect that highlights the subject. The optical construction features 15 elements in 12 groups, including four special glass LD (Low Dispersion) lens elements that effectively suppress the tendency of light ray divergence and provide excellent correction for both spherical and chromatic aberration.
The BBAR-G2 Coating significantly minimizes ghosting and flare, ensuring that even in backlit conditions, the finest details of the subject are captured with clarity and precision. You can also enjoy the outstanding macro performance of this lens and beautiful images with APS-C format cameras. The equivalent focal length is approximately 135mm while the minimum aperture remains F2.8.

Outstanding flat-field performance
TAMRON's new 90mm F2.8 MACRO is highly corrected for superior flat-field resolution that will be best for subjects such as documents, currency, artwork and product packaging. This quality is especially important when shooting close-up images where depth of field is too shallow to neutralize the loss of sharpness that could otherwise occur at the extreme edges of a flat subject. Because it's highly corrected, this lens provides edge to edge sharpness, uniform illumination across the frame and minimal distortion.

Stunning circular bokeh and starburst effects
The 90mm F2.8 Macro introduces Tamron’s first 12-blade circular aperture, setting a new standard for beautiful circular bokeh expression. Especially in the macro range, with a maximum magnification in between 1:1 to 1:4, this specialized diaphragm ensures that the bokeh remains perfectly circular when the aperture is wide open. The lens also suppresses vignetting in the four corners of the image. Composed entirely of spherical elements, the 90mm F2.8 Macro allows you to enjoy exquisite circular bokeh.
In addition, the 12-blade design produces 12 rays for exquisite starburst effects when the aperture is stopped down, making it ideal for capturing dramatic images of scenes that include point-sources of light, such as birthday cake candles and evening cityscapes.

New hood design
This lens is supplied with a new structural lens hood that has a sliding window designed for easy filter operation. Filters such as PL, ND, and cross screen filters require rotation to adjust their effects, often requiring the removal of the hood. To solve this inconvenience, the new design allows photographers to easily rotate the filter through the sliding window. This enables seamless adjustment without disrupting the shooting flow, ensuring precise control over shooting conditions and maintaining the rhythm of normal camera operation.
