Tamron 90mm 2.8 Macro Focussing Speed / Sound

This is a quick video to show the speed and sound of the Tamron 90mm 2.8 when covering its entire focussing distance. Remeber its longer than most because it can focus so close. It also has the option to limit the focus range if your using it as a portrait lens etc.

It is mounted on a Nikon D90

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

Who uses AF on a macro lens anyway?

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.

is the 60mm tamron any good

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.

@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.

@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]

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.
