Heritage of superior imaging and optical performance
TAMRON’s 90mm macro lenses have long been celebrated for their high resolution and beautiful bokeh. The new 90mm F2.8 MACRO lens, designed specifically for mirrorless cameras, reinforces this legacy via a rigorous optical simulation process during its development. This lens offers unparalleled resolution from the center to the edges, and delivers soft, velvety 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 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating significantly minimizes ghosting and flare, ensuring that even in backlit conditions, the finest details of the subject are captured with clarity and accuracy.
Plus, this lens is highly corrected for superior flat-field resolution, ideal for flat subjects such as documents and coins, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness and minimal distortion. 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.
This superb optical performance lets photographers explore unique photographic expressions across diverse photographic pursuits, not only for macro photography of flowers and insects but also for a wide variety of genres such as landscapes, portraits and snowflake photography.
TAMRON's first 12-blade circular aperture for stunning circular bokeh and starburst effects
This is TAMRON’s first 12-blade circular aperture and will deliver a superb bokeh, with nearly a perfect circular aperture opening, when wide open. Also, the magnification ratio will perform 1:1 to 1:4 magnification at 0.23-0.49m (9.1-19.3in) focus range. The lens also suppresses vignetting in the four corners of the image. Composed entirely of bokeh-friendly spherical lens elements that minimize onion ring bokeh, this lens lets 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 scenes that include point-sources of light, such as birthday cake candles and evening cityscapes.

The sliding window allows photographers to easily rotate filters without removing the hood, ensuring seamless adjustment and precise control over shooting conditions while maintaining the rhythm of normal camera operation.
Recommended features of the 90mm F2.8 MACRO
- MF Method:
You can easily fine-tune your focus by adjusting the focus ring. Customizing 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 utilizing 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 utilizing 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.
