Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di III MACRO VXD Lens – Model F072S - Sony FE Mount

The legendary Tamron 90mm macro lens returns—reimagined for today’s full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Whether you're shooting macro, portrait, product, or fine art photography, this lens delivers exceptional sharpness, breathtaking bokeh, and edge-to-edge clarity, all in a compact, lightweight body.

A Modern Macro Legend

The Tamron 90mm f/2.8 MACRO VXD features an advanced optical formula of 15 elements in 12 groups, including four LD (Low Dispersion) elements, ensuring exceptional correction of chromatic and spherical aberrations. The result is razor-sharp detail from the centre to the corners and minimal distortion, making it perfect for flat-field reproduction, such as documents and artwork, as well as delicate close-up work.

• Full-frame compatible (Di III)

• Macro 1:1 magnification with a Minimum Object Distance of 0.23m

• Ideal for macro, portraits, product photography, and landscapes

• Angle of view: 27°2'

Signature Bokeh with 12 Aperture Blades

For the first time in a Tamron lens, the 90mm Macro features 12 diaphragm blades, delivering perfectly rounded bokeh highlights and creamy background separation—even when stopped down. This design also allows for beautiful 12-ray starbursts when capturing point light sources, adding creative flair to your shots.

• Smooth, natural background blur

• 12-blade diaphragm for elegant bokeh and aperture stars

• Aperture range: f/2.8 to f/16

VXD Autofocus – Fast, Precise, Silent

Equipped with VXD (Voice-Coil eXtreme-torque Drive) technology, the autofocus system delivers fast, accurate, and near-silent focusing for both close-up and distant subjects. It's especially effective for macro work and tracking moving objects in real-time, making it perfect for handheld macro shooting and dynamic portraits.

• Lightning-fast, whisper-quiet AF

• Excellent for stills and video

• Supports full-time manual focus override

Optimised for Field Use

Built with Moisture-Resistant Construction and a fluorine-coated front element, the Tamron 90mm Macro is engineered for reliability. The compact body measures only 126.5mm in length, with a comfortable 79.2mm maximum diameter, and weighs just 630g (Sony E) or 640g (Nikon Z)—ideal for on-the-go creators.

• Moisture-resistant sealing for outdoor use

• Fluorine coating repels water, oil, and dust

• Lightweight and compact for all-day shooting

A newly designed lens hood features a built-in sliding window, allowing you to adjust filters (such as polarisers) without removing the hood—perfect for macro and landscape photographers who demand precise control and seamless operation.

• 67mm front filter thread

• Hood with filter access window for quick adjustments

• Practical, ergonomic design

Cutting-Edge Coatings and Software Support

The lens incorporates BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating, which dramatically reduces ghosting and flare, delivering high contrast and colour fidelity, even in backlit conditions. It's also compatible with Tamron Lens Utility (TLU) software, giving you the ability to customise lens functions and update firmware via USB-C (optional connection cable required).
