■ Recommended features of the 90mm F2.8 MACRO
- MF Method:
You can easily fine-tune your focus by adjusting the focus ring. Customising the rotation angle of the focusing ring facilitates fine focusing in MF (in this case, it is possible to set a rotation angle up to 720-degree). In the micro world, where precision is paramount, manual focus adjustment is essential. By utilising this function, you can make settings that are more delicate and suitable for you.
- A-B Focus:
You can shift the focus back and forth between two preset focus positions that have been recorded beforehand. If you shoot video utilising this function, moving the focus point creates movement in the image, allowing you to enjoy a macro view of the world that you would not normally be able to see.
Capture must-get moments with high-speed, high-precision AF
The AF drive uses TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. This AF system allows comfortable focusing from the MOD through infinity with high-speed and high-precision performance that represents the highest level in TAMRON’s history. A high degree of focus precision in steps of 0.005mm, less than one-tenth the width of a human hair. Tracking performance for moving objects is also outstanding, making it perfect for shooting subjects that move in unpredictable ways such as children and butterflies. These features ensure you can capture once-in-a-lifetime photos in sharp focus. In addition, because the quiet operation of the linear motor system is nearly silent, the lens can be used with confidence when shooting still images or video in quiet settings. This high-performance AF demonstrates its advantages and prowess in various types of macro photography situations.
Unified 67mm filter diameter
Nearly all TAMRON mirrorless lenses have a 67mm filter size. This allows users to use the same filter among a wide range of lenses. PL and ND filters are typically expensive, so sharing saves money. Additionally, this eliminates the need to search for caps with different diameters when switching lenses. All lenses in this series are compact, lightweight and extremely portable, making it easier when carrying multiple lenses at the same time.
