I replaced my old Tamron 90mm macro lens, which had served me so well over many years, with this updated version. I am as delighted with this lens as with its predecessor.

Tamron's venerable 90mm macro has long been a favorite third-party lens for many SLR owners. The SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD ($649) adds image stabilization (though Tamron calls it Vibration Compensation) and updates the aesthetic to match its recent SP lens offerings.

That makes it an Editors' Choice winner. DesignFinished in black, with a silver ring at its base, The SP 90mm measures 4.6 by 3.1 inches (HD), weighs 1.3 pounds, and supports 62mm front filters. The barrel is metal, with a large manual focus ring that's covered in a knurled rubber texture.
