Product Description
Try your hand at professional photography with this SP AF 60mm f/2.0 Di II LD [IF] Macro 1:1 lens from Tamron! This lens boasts a focal length of 23cm, or a 35mm equivalent of 93mm, meaning you can use it comfortably from a distance and capture all the tiniest details. What's more, the Tamron SP AF 60mm Macro's wide aperture of f/2 makes it possible to take snaps in low lighting conditions, or a close-up portrait with a blurred background. The f/22 position lets you maintain a large field depth, which comes in particularly handy for macro photography. Meanwhile, the internal focusing system allows you to manually adjust focus without using the AF/MF switch-over button, even when in the auto-focus mode, for precise control.

Very pleased - good for macro and portraits
By A music fan
I bought this lens for my crop-frame Alpha 230 DSLR and the focal length of the lens works well on that size; it is a good length for portraits as well as giving a bit more working space for macro pictures. Sony's own macro lenses are 50mm and 100mm which aren't so convenient for both double macro and portrait pictures, so I went for this one.Pictures from the lens are really very sharp and I can't see any sort of distortion. It definitely outperform my camera's sensor, although I'm still learning the tricks of the macro world. The lens goes down to f/2 for portraits although that's not so useful for macro shots.The in-lens motor autofocus works really well; quick and quiet, with not too much hunting (although there is no focus limiter like the longer Tamron 90mm lens). You can override the focus manually at any time without flicking a switch. Plus it's light to carry. I have found that the autofocus does run down my camera battery faster than my other lenses, though, so I carry a spare round with me.All round I'm very pleased, and just need to go out and practice now!
