Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Di III MACRO VXD (Nikon Z)

This is the mirrorless successor to Tamron's long line of 90mm macros, a design family that goes back to 1979, and it launched on Nikon Z and Sony E on the same day. It focuses to 1:1 at 0.23m, takes the usual Tamron 67mm filters and weighs 640g on Nikon Z. The optics use only spherical elements, four of them LD glass, and Tamron tuned them for a flat field, so coins, stamps and documents stay sharp to the corners.

It is also Tamron's first lens with a 12-blade aperture, which keeps out-of-focus highlights round when stopped down and gives 12-point sunstars. A VXD linear motor drives focus, a limiter switch cuts hunting at close range, a Focus Set button can be assigned functions, and the hood has a sliding window for turning a polariser. On Nikon Z bodies the camera displays the effective f-number at close range. There is no optical stabilisation, so handheld macro work relies on IBIS.
