Pros: Sharp, lightweight

Cons: I don't know

Opinion: I found it used but as new, tried as a portrait lens for a cosplay event and some macro shots. The camera body used is a Pentax K-1, with which it works very well. Sharp beyond f/4. Focusing, for a macro lens, is not that slow. I am very satisfied and did not make me regret the Pentax 100mm. I owned the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 which I still regret.

Pros: Exceptional yield in relation to cost

Cons: Slow in focus. Noisy

Opinion: Good morning everyone. I purchased this lens at a bargain price, used, in excellent condition. Simply spectacular. For years I have been using for macros a handcrafted stuff consisting of a nikor 50 ais forty years ago with closeup rings and self-built flash. For heaven's sake, acceptable but nerve-wracking results in use. Then I finally made up my mind. The tamron has a superb yield, a monstrous definition, all too bright with its 2.8 diaphragm (although at close range, the value increases). Closed between f.16 and f.25 is a razor. Very good auto focus as a definition of edges and contours. On the other hand, we are not in the focus of moving subjects: it cannot hook if it does, nothing is enough to lose focus. In fact I also use it as a portrait lens and even in this field it does not disfigure at all (although the colors are too sharp and takes away naturalness from the complexion of the skin). Noisy but not a big deal, at least for me. In my opinion to be purchased with your eyes closed.

Pros: Value for money

Cons: Lack of a stabilizer

Opinion: A very balanced lens between performance and price. In production for a long time so easily available in used at really very affordable prices. Used in conjunction with the sony A7r3, it solves the sensor's 42mps well. Even the AF (via metabones V) I find it adequate to be a macro target. A bit plastic overall but sufficiently solid the chè makes the optics light and suitable for travel and excursions. I think it suffers a little bit of abberity in the high lights but nothing dramatic. The focus dial has a shot that ensures the rapid transition from AF to MF useful on several occasions. I'm happy with that.

Pros: Great deal and take it Used....

Cons: To find it, I would say the lack of the VC but otherwise no one...

Opinion: I took this Macro lens after so long to reflect, from the excellent retofs and the low cost of the used compared to the new... and also to my availability. Excellent sharpness super if you put it with the three feet, but without also doing its duty the same, just learn and stay still, do not breathe for at least a couple of seconds... and the game and done, great photos, small, light, robust and you put it wherever you want, and always by your side. Thank you... (MGNELLO)

Pros: Very sharp, excellent value for money, tonal and color "macro" magnification ratio 1:1, resistance to flare due to the recessed front lens is very light and well built.

Cons: autofocus noisy (version with spindle) and sometimes hesitant, tonal and color "macros" that is very vivid and contrasty

Opinion: I bought this lens adapter for use with the SEL in attack-ea4 on sony A7 to replace the manual focus, the tamron 90 model 52bb. First impressions are those of a very sharp and contrasty lens, even at the edges and wide open, very suitable to use macros and naturalistic. For general use, covering the landscape and portrait, still consider preferable to the older brother that I will maintain, that has a more natural rendition of the chromatic tonal passages and even without recourse to postproduction. The autofocus has its raison d'etre at normal distances, where it is reasonably fast is accurate; in purely macro is not exploitable, as I believe will happen to any object of this type and focal.
