Tamron Announce New 70-200mm And 90mm Macro

[CrazyCresties]

I know there's not a huge amount of Tamron love on this board :laugh: but a couple of nice looking lenses have just been announced from Tamron. It'll be interesting to see how the 70-200mm f2.8 VC stacks up against the Sigma and Canon versions :) I might also be tempted by the macro for the USD, as this is something that I often wish for on my 60mm version.

The 90 macro is a good lens, I have one that I bought on so much recommendation. So the new release should be as good if not better. I also have a Sigma 150 macro - equally happy with both of them, the Tamron is a Sony attach for the A55, the Sigma is Nikon attach for the Nikon(s).

I've got the 60mm too, CC. I think the macro Tamrons have always had a pretty good name.

I do like the look of the new 90mm, although I don't know if the VC is much use close up but it must help a bit! :)
