This lens is pin sharp, for the price it is an excellent lens.My only fault and the reason for 4 stars not 5 is that the AF can struggle even at a reasonable distance from your subject in low light. All that said as a macro lens and for close up work you would only use MF and so eliminating the problem.With such a nice push pull ring from AF to MF changing from one to the other becomes a breeze and you never really miss a shot.Well worth every penny.ps. If you don't own a lens pen you should invest in one as the lens is quite deeply recessed.

This is a lens capable of very sharp images and I have no complaints on image quality.There is a generous amount of travel in the focus ring allowing fine manual focus. Autofocus is rather slow as a consequence, but if you're doing macro then manual focus is often a more useful technique to use. There is a focus range limiter to help speed up autofocus operation for either close or distant use only.The other negative of this lens is the rather deeply recessed front element, which to me is a waste of working distance. That is the distance between the front of the lens and whatever you're shooting. The lens length extends quite a lot when focusing closely.

For a long time I wanted to get a macro lens but had to wait as I had other lenses I needed to purchase first (24-75mm zoom, 70-300MM zoom for example -and both from the Tamron SP range). After deciding now was the time I purchased this lens. Like the other Tamron SP lenses it is quite chunky in construction and has a well made focus ring with plenty of grip. The lens has a 55mm diameter objective lens which although not huge does give respectable performance in poorer light conditions. A lens hood is supplied and is of the cylindrical type rather than a petal type but I find I don't use it as the front lens element is well recessed into the lens barrel to control flare anyway. The autofocus is not particularly quick and can hunt in lower light conditions but it does have a focus limiter switch which can reduce this problem. The lens does lengthen considerably but it does not rotate when focusing and the minimum focus distance is 3 inches. The image quality is excellent for the money and the reproduction ratio (effectively magnification) of 1:1 means that you get a large and clear image. This is a definite advantage over a shorter macro lens (35/50mm) as the working space you can leave between you and the subject will mean that insects/animals will more likely stay still than if you were on top of them with a shorter lens. Amazingly, this lens is full frame compatible and works fine on my Alpha 850 with no vignetting problems to speak of. At 90mm the depth of field when working really close is very narrow even at higher F stops so a tripod is a good idea as you will tend to sway in and out of the focus range if you use it handheld. It isn't impossible to use handheld but it takes skill, patience and good light/flash. To sum up, this lens is excellent if you need a macro lens with a longer focal length and you haven't got £500-600 to spend on the best ones. With patience and practice you will be astounded by your own images.
