Here's a treat of a lens that I loved to test - the Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro VC USD lens.
Yes, I don't know why, but third-party lens manufacturers keep lengthening their lens model names. Let's just call it the Tamron 90mm Stabilised Macro for short, because that's what it is that's important.
So let's just get right in, and I'll present it quickly for you:
It's sharp corner to corner much like many other macro lenses, and keeps it's vignetting at a minimum.
Background blurring when you're close to the subject is just awesome - creamy and buttery. At normal distances such as when shooting headshots and portraits, there seems to be some kind of highlighted edges in out-of-focus areas to my eye.
It's slightly cheaper than Canon's 100mm f/2.8L HIS (hybrid image stabilisation - google it!)
Unlike the older non-stabilised version, this one is stabilised, internal quiet focus with manual override, and more expensive.
