Tamron 90mm 2.8 Macro Focussing Speed / Sound

[jaa1263]

I never use a macro lense for anything else but macro photos, so I don't care about the noise and speed. When I'm takeing macro photos, I got plenty of time to set everything up. Don't need to say I like my Tamron 90mm 2.8 Macro.

For portraits I use a 28-80mm lense, or my 55-200mm dpending on the circumstances.

Who uses AF on a macro lens anyway?

what are we supposed to learn from this video??

Jeez !!!

[dessfilis02]

sonds like terminator.........

[simonheart007]

is the 60mm tamron any good

[sketchone]

Try sneeking a shot whith that! It sounds like landing gear on a 747.

However it does have a reputation for being a great lens.

Wow I was going to buy this, but I think I will spend the extra and go for the Canon 100m USM after seeing this.

[MusicScoutMunich]

@svtcontour ... well  if you going to buy a macro lens you should know that the af is unintersting... i guess that tamron makes the best macro lens for that kind of cost

[svtcontour]

@MusicScoutMunich Yes but macro lenses can also make for pretty decent portrait lenses, so autofocus speed is nice to have. The canon is more money (here in canada its $500 for the Tamron and $620 for the Canon) but I'd rather spend the extra for the focus speed.

Slow & Noisy, WOW!

But for the price... who can complain!

[whitecottonglove]

hehe this lens can be as noisy as it wants to be, because it's a legendary lens, and one of the sharpest glass you'll ever put on a camera.

[richardhaw]

but it's still noisy,end of point.

[mixmaxdix]

not as sharp and fast focusing as the canon 100mm f2,8 usm macro

[kazcnepj]

Yea, but the glass is super sharp. Usually for macro work you use manual focus.

[richardhaw]

noisy fucker

[trevor001]

there's no other sound in the video to make a comparison... the level of the background noise suggests it's not THAT loud
