Pros: half stops aperture ring, solid, small, light, sharpness

Cons: My sample has very warm colors.

Opinion: The lens is 1:2 Macro. 1:1 is possible with a converter. It offers half stops like the Leica lenses. There is a lens hood, which is necessary in my opinion. My copy has very warm colors. It's quite similar to the Tokina AT-X 90mm f2.5, but the Tamron is more affordable and is better build. I think the lens is good choice, as you can get it 100 EUR or less. It's light and small - good for travelling. When you use it, set the focus first and do the exact fokusing by moving the camera.

Pros: Good sharpness, nice blurry, the rush of focus is very long.

Cons: Lack of lampshade, magnification ratio 1:2

Opinion: I have the first BBAR 52B series. There is also the next series 52BB. The difference should be in the number of slats 8 the first, 9 the second. There is anti-reflective treatment, but clearly not comparable to current technology, so be careful of parasitic lights. The boken is creamy and you get very pleasant photos. It produces photos with very natural colors. It's sharp but the magnification ratio 1:2 is somewhat limited in macros, the very long and precise stroke of focus really gives satisfaction. It is therefore a good macro with very low costs, to start it is a must. It has its own extension tube 1: 1 Adaptall 018F, very difficult to find, often at really off-market prices, so it is better to equip yourself with the latest tubes so that they can be used on different lenses (The system is Adaptall, the same lens via specific adapters can be used on various attacks. The tube extends 018f is grafted between lens and adapter). The first metal series as well as heavy is also very nice (personal taste), the second I like less. It is a lens that is appreciated more in use than in technical data.

Pros: Excellent microcontrast and durability manageability Robustness

Cons: Pity you stopped at the report 1:2

Opinion: I've had a couple in the past but stupidly given away to leave place to the original medium canvases it seems that the earliest specimens are optically better (rumors that turned in mid-years 80) despite that compared with the competition (Vivitar 90mm F2, 5 Series 1 macro and Vivitar 90 F2,8) in the MTF tests of PF has been ranked second (a little less corrected in the T.A. F2 Red band,7 Real, and a couple of other small things) I much prefer the Tamron

Pros: Sharpness, aesthetics (see comment), compactness, construction.

Cons: Lack lens hood

Opinion: I hope to refer to the right optics, in the absence of reference photos. In fact, now on the net there are only more reviews of the later versions, having (I presume) the same optical pattern but constructively and aesthetically different. I refer to the very first type of the years 80, the compact and extremely clean design (in my opinion one of the most elegant lenses ever designed). All right, with the aesthetics of the optics do not make beautiful photos, but this also had excellent optical and constructive qualities. Too bad for the lack of lens hoods (the original one, sold separately, you can mount reversed on the barrel, pity that they had not yet invented the lock ring!). Mine has the Olympus OM bayonet, but with adapters (both for 4/3 and M4/3) I still use it today with full satisfaction. Of course Manual Focus, but this does not give the slightest annoyance, given the use. A substance, one of the glasses I wouldn't give up. Obviously on the 4/3 is a bit ' long ', but still usable, both in macro and for portraits.

Pros: sharpness, color, focus, macro

Cons: No one ... to be a little picky there is a predisposition to flare, but it is even useful in the field of portraiture.

Opinion: Historic and well-known lens of Tamron. Very sharp to the edge even at full aperture, which can be used as a portrait lens. By cutting a little becomes extremely sharp and slightly too contrasty for portrait. Infinity maintains excellent performance, so it can be used also as optical for landscape; elective in his field, macro, demonstrates an excellent edge-to-edge sharpness from CT until the smaller apertures, which does not suffer too much of diffraction. Maximum reproduction ratio is "just" 1:2, but this design helps to save space. Compared to other macro has a very natural colour rendition, which makes it suitable for use in portraiture, as well as the relatively large opening. The lens was produced in two versions, the metal ring with vertical microscalanature whole 52b, and 52bb with increased use of plastics and plastic-coated knurled nut. Optically are equivalent, perhaps the first version gives an impression of strength.
