G005 Lens Technology
Let there be light. The new 60mm 1:1 macro lens with a maximim aperture of F2. Sharp image quality and beautiful out-of-focus effects bring new richness to photographic expression.
Exposure: F/2 Auto, ISO200, WB: Auto (equivalent to 93mm when converted to 35mm format) Minimum focus distance: 0.23m (maximum magnification ratio: 1:1)

Amid the growing popularity of APS-C size DSLRs, photographers are looking to explore macro photography with a focal length that provides an angle of view equivalent to 90mm. With these users in mind, Tamron developed the SP AF60mm medium telephoto macro lens, boasting an extremely fast maximum aperture of F2. The sharp image quality at the point of focus and soft blurring effects in the out-of-focus areas render superlative images that will stimulate the photographer's imagination. From macro photography of flowers and insects in a natural environment, to portraiture that exploits the soft blurring effects, the speed of the lens also makes low-light photography possible. This high-performance lens was designed to be used in a wide range of photographic situations, allowing the user great flexibility.
High-resolution macro lens designed with uncompromising focus on performance.
Exposure: F/7.1, 1/50 seconds, ISO640, WB: Auto (equivalent to 93mm when converted to 35mm format)

This high-resolution macro lens achieves the overwhelming brightness of F/2, while at the same time preventing increases in aberration variations that may occur with the adoption of the large aperture. The adoption of two large LD (low dispersion) lenses allows advanced correction of chromatic and other aberrations. The new BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) multi-layer coatings and internal surface coatings (coatings on cemented surface of elements) have also been introduced to thoroughly reduce ghosting and flare.

Working distance of 100mm, the longest of lenses in this class
This lens' working distance of 100mm, the longest in its class*, means that an appropriate distance may be maintained while still enjoying 1:1 macro photography (when hood is not attached). Due to the internal focusing system employed, the overall length of the lens does not change when adjusting the focus, achieving major improvements in ease of use. 

*Standalone life-size macro lens with a focal length equivalent to 50-60mm. Based on present Tamron research (June 1, 2009).

Full-time manual control mechanism, enabling MF operations without switching mode

(equivalent to 93mm when converted to 35mm format)
While the large focus ring maintains a solid grip during auto-focus mode, when fine-tuning of the point of focus is required the photographer can make delicate adjustments in manual focus mode by merely rotating the focus ring. This full-time manual focusing control mechanism enables seamless use of the auto and manual focus modes without needing to adjust the AF/MF switchover button.
1:1 life-size macro lens with fast maximum aperture of F/2, also fits small cameras
To prevent the lens from growing in size due to the adoption of the F/2 maximum aperture, the internal construction of previous macro lenses was reviewed, and the accuracy and precision of all components has been improved, resulting in a compact lens with a maximum diameter of only 73mm. In addition, through extensive use of precision molded components using highly reliable plastic engineering, the lightness of the lens is without compare, and its size enables use in a wide range of photographic situations in the field.

Tamron Macro Lens Series
The Tamron macro lens series produce sharp images against soft out-of-focus backgrounds. Not limited to macro photography, these lenses cover the range from landscapes to portraiture. The Tamron macro lens series, with its wide-ranging adaptability, has achieved recognition among photography lovers around the world.

SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 (Model 272E)

 

Retaining the renowned optical quality of the legendary Tamron SP90mm macro lens first introduced in 1979, this model implements an optical design for digital cameras through improved coating. This lens achieves true-to-life perspective, and its compact weight enables hand-held shooting, for use in a wide range of photographic situations, from close-up photography to landscapes and portraiture.

 

SP AF 180mm F/3.5 Di LD [IF] MACRO 1:1 (Model B01)

This is the lens for use in medium telephoto macro shooting, optimal in situations where you are unable to get close enough to the subject, or for shooting cherry blossoms or other flora located at a distance, or even insects that are likely to be scared off if the photographer moves in too close. The lens is equipped with the FEC (Filter Effect Control) function, which enables the photographer to rotate the polarization filter without detaching the hood, thereby effectively minimizing diffused reflection of light and lens flare. Operational performance has been dramatically improved.
