The Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Di III MACRO VXD for Nikon Z has introduced a new short-telephoto prime destined for capturing stunning portraits and intricate macro shots. Designed for Sony E- and Nikon Z-mount mirrorless camera systems, the 90mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Macro Lens brings together a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification ratio and a beneficial 9.1” minimum focusing distance to enable efficient close-up photography.
This is the brand’s first lens to feature a 12-blade circular diaphragm, creating particularly round bokeh, minimized vignetting, and 12 rays of starburst when stopped down. Sporting a fairly lightweight and compact build, this prime lens weighs 1.4 lb and measures 5” long, allowing you to comfortably shoot handheld for extended shooting times and pack away without being slowed down
Precision focusing is assured with the lens’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor, which delivers reliable subject tracking and suppresses drive noise, meeting the demands of both photo and video applications. Also benefitting autofocus performance is a focus limiter switch that restricts the AF range and prevents the lens from aimlessly searching throughout its full focusing reach. This will save you time and spare you the stress of struggling to get your lens to zero in on your desired subject..
Objects captured with this lens are recorded on the camera's image sensor at the same size as they are in real life. The F2.8 brightness and unique world view of a macro lens allow you to express an engaging bokeh effect.
This lens excels in a variety of photography genres beyond macro shots. Utilize its F2.8 aperture for stunning portrait photography, leverage its close-focusing ability for captivating tabletop photos, and capture distant landscapes with remarkable image quality. When paired with an APS-C size camera, it transforms into a mid-telephoto macro lens with a focal length of 135mm (full-frame equivalent) while retaining the fast F2.8 aperture.
The lens is equipped with a focus limiter switch that can restrict the AF focus range, enabling faster focusing during AF shooting. This feature also helps prevent the lens from searching focus in full range when losing focus during close-range AF photography.
The rotational torque of the focus ring has been carefully calibrated to assist precise MF operation. This moderate torque makes fine-tuning the focus more exact and ensures that the results are accurate.
Our engineers carefully considered the structure and key parts right down to the fine details, resulting in an enhanced design that updates both operability and the ergonomic considerations. The surface of the lens exterior is shiny and glossy black. Improved abrasion resistance makes the lens harder to scratch and resists fingerprints. The material on the ring is also updated to have better grip performance with deeper grooves. The smoothly curved, glossy surface of the brand ring creates a dignified appearance with a design that signifies functional beauty and high quality.
