Pros: Quality, lightness, price range and why I also like it aesthetically

Cons: AF a little noisy and sometimes a little lent but goes it does its good job

Opinion: Taken at a bargain price (almost half and new) and I'm super happy! RnIt involves very well, the quality is excellent. I'm really satisfied.rnCome said in the opposite is a bit slow and noisy the AF but for all the other PRO is more than good.rnVery light also compared to others for which I recommend it.

Pros: Sharpness, lightness, excellent value for money

Cons: Noisy autofocus with some sporadic uncertainty, light chromatic aberrations to wide openings on extreme contrasts, bokeh not so soft

Opinion: I managed to buy this gorgeous goal before it came out of production (the new one is not produced with Pentax graft) and it was a great buy. Rather sharp already af / 2.8, it becomes a diaphragm of a stop. Its use is not strictly limited to flowers and insects, it is well suited for portrait and for some extemporaneous photos where it is important to enhance the detail. Do not ask him to resume subjects in rapid motion because his autofocus, in addition to being quite noisy, is not a lightning strike and with flat and uniform backgrounds it has some uncertainty, going back and forth several times. When it engages however, it does so with surgical precision. On the strong contrasts there are aberrations of up to about f / 3.2, but nothing that can not be corrected in post production, and yet af / 4 disappears all. Blurry is not really soft, but all the other benefits make the (few) defects in the background. Even though it is a view of the previous generation, it does not matter at all. Tipsatissimo

Pros: Sharpness, price, lightness

Cons: Noisy loudspeaker, barrel hike (but you knew)

Opinion: SPECTACULAR!!! excellent sharpness at full aperture, if it closes at f4 it becomes a razor. For macro photography is great, as already known, but I also had a lot of fun to use it to make portraits and I brought home great files. The AF is a bit lousy, but you get used to it it is very precise in focus (for macro photography it uses more manual focus so the problem does not arise) .rnUna snout that can bother you is the bout of the barrel when it focuses, but this one already knows at the moment purchase. Excellent objective with a good value for money, has nothing to envy to much more expensive goals.

Pros: Image quality, lightness, robustness.

Cons: Noisy AF

Opinion: I took this used lens to try macros and portraits. Even if it does not originate to do the portraits, it does fine, the image quality is great. As for the macro, the quality is known, and I can do nothing but confirm it. I've read many reviews before I buy it and many complained about the focus; I tried it but I'm fine, sure it's not a splinter but so far it has not hit a blow yet, in the macro then I use the manual focus so the problem does not arise.

Pros: image quality, sharpness, lightness, price

Cons: I would say no

Opinion: I bought it today, I took the old model because having a Sony A99II no use stabilizer for now I tried it at home and it seems exceptional. Someone points out the slow pace of the Focus and the long barrel hike. If it is working without the macro function the focus is fast and accurate, with the macro function and true that the focus goes into crisis and begins to go back and forth, but if you wanted with focheggia before enlargement continuous focus and then we approach the subject the focus is precise and you can shoot on the fly, also in the majority of cases, the macro is run on the stand with manual focus so there is no problem.

Pros: Quality / Price, Sharpness, Size and Weight

Cons: For the price I would say no

Opinion: An Evergreen! Anyone who views the macro level has owned or owns this view from the quality / price ratio nothing short of monumental! RnSperimentando I found myself also use it to portraiture with excellent results even if, on aps-c, is a focal a little too long why genere.rnVince hands down on many other macro also higher price.

Pros: Sharpness, weight, af limiter, recessed lens

Cons: excursion barrel, aberrations

Opinion: I used this lens on several occasions, and I've got to get some shots really above my expectations! For macro it is obviously a must have but I must say that I even used to take pictures of animals and the yield was phenomenal; It must be said that in my opinion it is difficult to use because of the slow and sometimes inaccurate made fire and the lack of stabilizer to which I countered with mono foot. I've also used for animals that move fast and after a good series of shots get the right one with a clarity that does not stand up against! For those who make macro is a great choice, and many other genres can be a complement to other objectives, the only flaw I found is a strong aberration that occurs in some contexts but still be eliminated easily in post quality / very good price

Pros: Great price, sharpness, blur, recessed front lens.

Cons: AF slow

Opinion: Despite the modesty of my optical park, I know that when I want to make a memorable photo I have to mount the Tamron.rnrnIl bokeh is great; respecting all the trappings of macro photography has exceptional clarity, or at least able to easily exceed 16MP my D7000.rnFantastico also for portraits for the aforementioned bokeh and PDC scarsa.rnCosto down this categoria.rnLente front deeply recessed; not dirty ever and is well protected from flare.rnrnMi join the chorus "AF slow" even if the version I have is that no internal AF motor; moreover, would you use this light to follow a bird in flight ??

Pros: Great price, sharpness, blur, weight

Cons: Excursion barrel, autofocus slow and noisy.

Opinion: Great goal, can take good pictures without having to spend a fortune (no small feat). l 'AF leaves something' to be desired, but since the majority of macro shots are made in MF and not much of a problem (and the MF is fine). Perhaps the biggest flaw is the travel of the barrel, that can be annoying. For the rest, I find it very valuable, on the 90 mm are sufficient a little 'to everything.

Pros: price, construction, simplicity.

Cons: excursion of the barrel, lack stabilizer for photos freehand.

Opinion: is one of the cornerstones of macro photography, straddling the short focal lengths (50-60mm) and the focal lunghe.rnbuono in all respects, will get you started seriously in the world of macro, without any problems or concerns particolari.rn90 mm are sufficient in everything, even to insects and butterflies, it makes up for knowing the habits of the subjects and exploiting hours migliori.rn

Pros: sharpness, focus ring practical, comfortable and very accurate, light weight, I could name a thousand more.

Cons: For me, this lens is not against it, but wanting to be objective: Autofocus of a tractor, slow, loud, pretty long hike barrel

Opinion: My first and only macro lens (my favorite photographic genre) for me is perfect, the value for money in the first place, I bought it to get close to this photographic genre, for 3 months I have not disconnected from the SLR, I also used for portraits but often the sharpness is such as to discard the pictures because you notice skin defects. The autofocus can be a drawback for some, but I personally have never used, the absence of the stabilizer compensation with flash and shutter speeds, but it was never a problem, even for the minimum distance of focus for the 1: 1 is not a problem, 9cm with live insects if you are patient you can reach. I can only speak well of this goal, which for me among the competitors of the same focal length remains the top, especially for the sharpness already at room temperature and the value for money, really good lens, I am more than satisfied with the advice and .

Pros: Quality / price ratio, sharpness, shift from Mf to Af, light, blurred

Cons: Autofocus slow and noisy, excursion barrel

Opinion: I literally fell in love with this lens, it has a great value for money and has a spectacular sharpness even at 2.8, would recommend to anyone who wants to take on the world of macro photography, the AF a bit slow and noisy but it does not seem a tragedy for the relative cost of this goal, and then we always talk about a macro lens, very practical system to switch from automatic to manual focus. I took off and hoped I will take away much satisfaction.

Pros: Image quality, crisp and clear 2.8, lightweight, inexpensive, macro 1:1, excellent blurred

Cons: Autofocus slow and loud, long excursion of the barrel (should use it with the limiter). Unregulated (now it is the new version). Working distance for 1:1 magnification, too short, basically you have to be attached to the subject, which probably will escape.

Opinion: Excellent lens, I took away a lot of satisfaction. The autofocus outrageous at the end when you do not make macro (eg portraits, for macro, manual focus with liveview 10x), but if you are not in broad daylight and you do not put the limiter, you know how many shots lost! Quality of blurred excellent and also the details. I can not find the practical system to change from manual to auto focus.

Pros: great clarity, transition from manual to auto focus quickly, lightly.

Cons: autofocus slow, clumsy and incredibly noisy.

Opinion: It 's my first lens for Macro, bought for its "cost" than the others of the same kind. I must say that I was impressed by the sharpness, even if I use it mostly by hand and this for photographing insects or flowers without a tripod is practically impossible. Two may be in the noise and slow autofocus and wheel limiter on the left which is often activated involuntarily. Overall I think it is a good goal.

Pros: Quality / price ratio; rncontrasto; rnNitido Tarn

Cons: lentorndistanza inaccurate autofocus and focus about 9cm 1:1 actual (without hood) too short to live insects

Opinion: The best quality / price ratio, to be honest I thought it was less difficult to do macro, the distance of focus for the 1:1 ratio is only 9 cm, too few to photo for live insects, at least for me . rnLo use to do Macro with great satisfaction, I can take advantage of the excellent sharpness and contrast for landscapes and the bokeh at f2.8 for portraits (not female). The only discordant note is the autofocus, inaccurate and embarrassing slowness; rnNon has stabilized but for me I problema.rnUltima Sony is not a thing, I note that Nikon and Sony in a 1:1 ratio at room temperature is shown by the machine f2.8 (nominal aperture) instead of f4 (actual diaphragm)

Pros: sharpness, quality / price ratio

Cons: AF slow and noisy

Opinion: Good lens for macro, I was able to use it in portrait studio on sensor aps-c.rnDevo say that gave me a lot of satisfaction in the studio, while I find it a little too short for Macro insects especially on full-frame sensor. rnrnL'AF is the only real drawback, sometimes gets lost in the process of focus and is very rumoroso.rnrnIn any case it is a lens that is worth a lot, although I would recommend to those who can ... to take the version USD. If you want them to buy for macro insects on full-frame I recommend a longer focal length.

Pros: Price, excellent sharpness, lightness, recessed lens, 1:1 ratio

Cons: AF slow, high extension

Opinion: I use it as the only macro lens because I think it is a very high quality lens, the 90 mm is more than enough. The color rendition is flawless and remains crystal clear even at full aperture with a great focus. Ring focus large and very precise, recessed lens and light are other strengths. Highly recommended.

Pros: colors, light weight, very good optical performance

Cons: very recessed front lens, AF motor noise (but the macro af serves little or nothing)

Opinion: great start with the macro and ... to continue! I would recommend it to those who dispassionately he started to macro photography ... is a lens that does not feel the need to change the first improvements made in the field of macro ... will last! ... only drawback: the "only" 90 mm ... can sometimes be a bit 'short!

Pros: sharpness, 1:1 ratio, price and costrzione with recessed lens.

Cons: removing the system to switch from AF to MF no

Opinion: A great lens that allows to obtain beautiful images without fainting. The Af is loupe but macros are done in MF so ... Excellent construction with recessed lens that is impossible to crawl! I do not like the system to switch from AF to MF. Also multiplied does not lose much in sharpness. In short, a great lens for those who want to get closer to the macro.

Pros: excellent sharpness, price.

Cons: af slow and noisy

Opinion: Great price and excellent quality. I had this lens is that the canon and I can say if you devote yourself only to macro recommend for excellent sharpness even a little better than canon. But if you want to do some portraits, I recommend the canon which is a bit softer and has a very fast af. the af this lens is really slow and noisy, and usually prefer to use it in manual. Of course if you are using a tripod the af though slow is accurate.

Pros: Value price, weight, color rendition and sharpness, supplied accessories

Cons: Virtually no one saw the price: barrel that extends f slow and imprecise (but so is focheggia hand), that focus on older individuals view the focal sometimes suffers ..

Opinion: I took this macro because I did not know if the macro would take me or not. The price and weight make it very undemanding. I'm learning a lot of things through this lens and would recommend it to anyone who wants to start taking pictures of this kind. The construction is good but not as massive as the nikkor but I'm sure that if treated well will last many years without showing sagging.

Pros: Recessed lens, sharpness, blur, quality / price ratio, crisp and clear 2.8, versatility

Cons: Noisy, extended barrel, slow AF.

Opinion: I now I use it often, not only for macro, but also for portraiture given its 90 mm with excellent sharpness even at f2.8. The cons are there, such as the slow focus and no stabilization ... but you do it manually the macro and tripod, so who ... and then people at that price what more do you want?!!? I who can not spend so much, this choice is quite good, very good indeed! Recommended to all!

Pros: pretty low price, excellent optical performance

Cons: is not stabilized, noisy AF, it is not sealed, long excursion

Opinion: this was my first macro lens (and still is) the yield in terms of the image is equal to that of the more famous Canon EF 100 2.8 L IS USM. At the time I wanted to spend a little and I was richly rewarded. the canon, however, has some of its advantages: The first is that free-hand and under certain conditions can be very useful, it is more robust and the focus is silent and faster. All these put together outweigh the price of about 750 euro? for some people, others do not. If you use it for hiking and this lens is perfect. if you want to always be able to shoot in difficult conditions (rain, low light) the canon is superior. the choice is yours

Pros: Optical quality, quality / price ratio, construction

Cons: Barrel which extends in the focusing, AF

Opinion: Excellent optical quality, both as a macro as portrait lens with the aperture f2.8. Very sharp in the center, a hair worse at the edges, however, is resolved by closing the apertures used for macros. Barely noticeable chromatic aberration at the widest apertures. The construction is very good, only flaw is that the barrel nearly doubles the length to the minimum focusing distance (the working distance is reduced considerably). The front lens is recessed and well protected, so that I do not hardly ever use with the lens hood attached. The focus is implemented by a micromotor classic, slow and above all noisy. Not bad, in macro allows you to focus manually, but if you use it as "telephoto spare" you can help with the convenient focus limiter. The price is unbeatable.

Pros: Low cost, high quality, recessed front lens, sold with leather bag;

Cons: Autofocus slow and noisy, even with the limiter, it covers varying the ratio

Opinion: I have long had the canon 100mm macro 2.8 (not L) and absolutely do not consider the tamron lower. Optically speaking is crystal clear and gives a good focus, you see around it many macro-level professional made with this view. For me it is valid not only for beginners, but also for those who already have experience in macro. Despite the less than 10mm and the extension can not find difficulty in approaching the subject, in the sense that those who escape me hours even before fleeing with 100 fixed :-) The autofocus is painfully slow and noisy in large excursions: it is not a lens for sports photographs say (on the other hand is a macro ..!). Would highly recommend.

Pros: Light, cheap, recessed lens, crystal clear, good at full aperture.

Cons: AF slow and noisy, hike barrel.

Opinion: I use this lens for a year and I can not find fault if little or no expense, especially when used in the macro. It 's very light and so you can use it freehand. 90 mm will not be many, but when combined with a multiplier or rather the extension tubes does not lose its sharpness and quality and also you can do even insects small enough. Excellent color rendering. For beginners but also for those who for years recommend this macro lens.

Pros: quality / price ratio; accessories (supplied mordiba bag and hood), good wide open; selector distance auto focus

Cons: AF noise

Opinion: Great start to make macro and begin to understand "how it works". I tested it also keeps well and multiplied its average characteristics. 90mm are already good for photographing insects without scaring (early in the morning of course), but can also be used to try to make portraits with a blurred "pushed". Competes with its more famous competitors, it speaks well everywhere (forums, websites, etc.).
