  • I want to go to there.

    one day too late.

  • D800 is among us

    Why does it say 35 minutes on APS sensor?

    • Because the field of view is 26 degrees 35 minutes. There are 60 minutes to a degree. 360 degrees is a full circle. This is a minute of arc, not a minute of time.

      • D800 is among us

        Oohh!.. make sense. thanks

        • Pablov

          hi D800, when are you coming?
          you are LATE ! 🙂

  • johnny

    I’d buy that for a dollar!

    But not much more 🙂

  • Jimo

    wow.. it even comes with its own food.. yipee, no need to buy food for this lens…

  • CatSplat

    I wish my lenses came with Lens Food as standard, that’s normally a pricey aftermarket accessory.

    • lol – I copied that from the original Tamron site…

    • A new Nikon fanboy

      I never buy Lens Food. The lens will just get fat and lazy, which makes them heavier, harder to fit into camera bags, and may shorten their lifespan. I want my lenses lean and hungry.

  • never knew that lens needs to eat as well. The typo’s still there NR

  • A new Nikon fanboy

    Nice. I’ll wait for the test results, but I can see buying this down the road.

      +1 If it can focus quickly, loca isn’t horrible and it’s as sharp as Tamron’s other macro glass. I’m guessing about US$450.

  • Pablov

    I hope Tamron releases a 24-70 or 24-75 f2.8 with VC (or whatever they call the stabilizing system), built-in AF motor, and weather sealing.

    That would be a great choice to compete with Nikon and Canon Zooms (much more expensive)

  • kidfromkor

    so basically, useless on my D700

    • Chris

      If you’d like to swap your D700 for my D90 it’ll be ok…..

      You already have the option of the Tamron 90mm FF macro lens, which is well respected. This new lens adds a DX alternative with a similar field of view.

      Gee, is it possible for any manufacturer to introduce a DX lens without the FX crowd bursting into tears?

  • Wahlroos

    So ugly, like any other pirate manufacturer lens.

  • Tamron Lens

    Great news. I’m anxious to see some video podcast reviews of this lens in action by professional photographers.
