Outstanding resolution and creamy bokeh. This compact macro lens with a medium telephoto range and a speed of 1:1 has an advanced high-speed and precision AF system and Tamron's first circular aperture with 12 blades. In 1979, Tamron introduced its groundbreaking 90mm macro lens SP 90mm F/2.5 (Model 52B). At that time, the use of macro lenses was mainly limited to copying documents. When photographers demanded a lens with a medium telephoto range and short MOD (Minimum Object Distance), Tamron delivered a truly revolutionary product.

The Model 52B combined macro functionality with stunning bokeh and exceptional image quality, making it a versatile choice for general photography. Nicknamed "Tamukyu", a portmanteau of two Japanese words, it quickly caught on, especially with nature photographers and portrait enthusiasts. Tamron introduces the 90mm F/2.8 Di III Macro VXD (model F072), an eagerly awaited mirrorless version of the legendary 90mm macro lens. This lens continues the legacy of Tamron's beloved brilliant performance with cutting-edge technology to write a chapter in the history of Tamron's 90mm macro lens.
