Tamron SP AF 60mm F/2 Di-II LD (IF) 1:1 MacroLens (for Canon DSLR) Price in India, Specifications, Reviews & Offers. Buy online at Amazon Flipkart TATACliq.

I have a different potential use case for it...on Micro Four Thirds with my Viltrox EF-M2 0.71X speedbooster. 60 * 0.71 = 42.6. Take the 2X crop factor of Micro Four Thirds, and you end up with 85.2mm in full-frame equivalent...ideal for portraits. And, since the speedbooster gives an extra stop of light, that becomes an f1.4 lens, faster than my Olympus 45mm f1.8 portrait prime lens and way cheaper than the Olympus 45mm f1.2 PRO lens. On paper, it makes sense, but I'm not sure if it would be so good in reality. I'm debating whether to buy this. Other candidates include the Olympus 75mm f1.8 and the Sigma 56mm f1.4. Those are great lenses, but the focal lengths are awkward for portraits. Not that my 45mm f1.8 is a bad lens, but it's a lens that is not its best wide open, and even when it is wide open, it's only f1.8, or f3.6 in full-frame equivalent. Decisions, decisions.
I'd love to see it in action as a portrait lens. This lens with my 0.71x Viltrox speedbooster and Micro Four Thirds works out to a 42.6mm f1.4. With the 2X crop factor in Micro Four Thirds, that makes it an 85.2mm full-frame equivalent: ideal for portraiture. And a macro lens to boot! Since my Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II has phase-detect autofocus, the AF performance with Canon EF lenses is surprisingly good. I use it with a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 Art lens now. Could I really use this lens wide open for portraits?
I have the same autofocus problem.
Fuji 60mm f 2.4 compare to this lens. Which one is better in term of focus speed and sharpness
I have this lens and the Sony 50 f/2.8 A mount macro lens and the Sony lens is the better of the two imho. The Sony lens is screw drive just like the Minolta but the Sony lens focuses so much faster. Optically I couldn't pick one over the other, they look the same to me. Buy the Tamron because it's cheap.
Hi Chris.. Greetings from Jakarta. May I know would you recommend this lens over Canon EF S 60mm or EF S 28mm? Thanks
I just buy it last week, thank you for review 😊
I'm not sure about inexpensive. I've been quoted £399 for one.
Your macro shoots from this lens were very good. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
why can't i ue the focus ring??
Great performance from this lens but if it doesnt have stabilization, its a NO-GO for me. I dont know why camera makers dont incorporate stabilization into every body and lens they build. Why would someone want a macro lens without stabilization? Most camera bodies dont have stabilization built it. That's why I will go with Olympus EM10 Mark III and an Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro. Super, super sharp lens with the Olympus and the body is 5 stops stabilized at all times.
Hi Chris, just a query. Is the focal length of this lens is equivalent to 90mm on an APS-C or it's just 60mm? I'm so confused with the Tamron 90mm(old one), Tamron 60mm( the lens reviewed in video) or Tokina 100mm macro? Ur suggestion could be really helpful.. pls..
What do you think of this lens compared to the nikon 60mm af-s? I can get the Tamron in Like new condition for 280, should I spend the extra 140 (420) for a used nikon 60mm af-s? I'm just starting in macro and product photography so don't know if slightly cheaper is better because I'm going to be learning. I'm using a d5500.
As a johnny come lately I am so thankful you did a full review on this lens. Not much elsewhere on the internet. I just picked one up for $170 US on ebay and am delighted. Lightroom takes care of chromatic aberration, and with the addition of a focusing rail, I'm off to the races with newly discovered macro photography.
0:25 The greatest President ever...
I have Nikon d5500 is it good ?
does it have image stabilization?
chris hope you test the latest tamron 90mm macro..
Is this a 90mm f/3 equivalent on DX?
+Christoper please do a review for Tamron 90MM DI
Great lens, I used it on Canon 7D, best around aperture 4.0, recommend, good price
Hi ! please tell me, this lens work with Nikon 3100
can this lens be used on a canon 1200d
... ich habe das SP 90 USD VC auf einer Canon 30D. Ich denke, letztendlich geben sich die beiden Objektive nicht. Das 60er ist günstiger und F/2.0. Das 90er Bildstabi und super geil für Portraitaufnahmen. Man kann durch die 90 mm Brennweite uch etwas mehr vom Objekt abrücken! Man besten man gönnt sich gleich beide... :-)
thanks bro,in dat case i will go for 60mm f2.thanks for helping me,Really enjoy your video. Regards tembs
hi hmmm thats difficult both are good but i love my 60mm f2.8 hihihihihi :-D
this lens sooo amazing, Tamon 60mm f/2 or Tamron 90mm F/2.8?which one better?
Autofokus JA Bildstabi Nein :-D
hat die linse autofokus bzw bildstabilisator ?
@AKNatura Danke freut mich das es dir gefällt ;-D
Sehr interessante und schöne Motive. Sehr gut gelungen. :o)
Has anyone used both lenses please. I got the G2 Tamron 15 - 30 and just love the build quality. The Canon 100mm arrived today and I was just going to return it because I just didn’t like how that long thin lens felt against my camera. Then I put the lens on and tested it - the image was just beautiful. I don’t think I can get myself to return it now but I’m guessing I will prefer the 90mm for portrait / macro over the longer 100mm. Can someone that has used both PLEASE let me know. If you are able to get both at similar price - will you be ok getting the Tamron 90 macro or is it the canon? Why? Thanks
Shalom Christ my tamron 90mm f2.8 f017,if the VC is on, there is an audible sound during AF and after the picture is taken. Is that normal?
Thank you for excellent review Bro Christ👍🙏
Thinking of replacing my Canon EF 85mm 1.8 USM and already sold Tokina 100mm Macro 2.8 with this unit.
You should have shot some bugs with it instead of this wooden dolphin.
As probably mentioned elsewhere - this lens is COMPLETELY BROKEN with Nikon Z cameras. Tamron has thus far (2 years!) not been able to offer a firmware fix for this lens. BE VERY CAREFUL WILL ALL TAMRON LENSES ON Z BODIES. Step up your game Tamron!
Always brilliant reviews Chris - thank you
Is it fixed with sony A7ii?
Can I use this in my sony a6000 ?
Would u recommend this lens to shoot fast moving betta fishes?
What would you recommend? This lens or a laowa 100mm 2x magnification?
I’m really liking what this little package offers. It seems to be a strong contender for the money, though I am concerned about one thing; compatibility with classic SLR cameras. I intend to primarily use this with my mirrorless and DSLR cameras, but if I could mount it on my older Canon EOS 55 Elan II 35mm camera, that would be a dream! Any pointers, or am I out of luck?
Maybe i'm late, but could you tell me how this lens perform on rhe aps c body, when shoot close up images? What is tge details resolutiin? Is it comparable ro your sony a7mk iii? Thank for the reviem btw. Ir's really helpful and well done. Keep up this kind of work. 👍
I've always enjoyed and trusted your reviews Chris, thank you. 🙏
What's the difference between this one and the old model in performance?
Very nice review as always! Now I can't decide between Tamron 90mm or the Sigma 105mm Macro lens. What do you think Chris? Thank you so much!
my version is even older than the older version you put a image on it. it's the 172E from 1999. I love it
Hello Mr Frost, thanks for this review, I would like to know if this lens suffers fron Focus Shift...Thank you
How is the weather sealing?
I've had this lens for well over a year, and never had an issue with it! Works, flawlessly, at any time I wish to use it on my Nikon D750.
