Tamron SP B01 Macro lens-180mm-F/3.5-Canon EF Overview

Digitally Integrated Design, is a designation Tamron puts on lenses featuring optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras. This lens employs an IF (Internal Focusing) system that maintains the overall length of the lens during focusing. Uses two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements that effectively compensate for chromatic aberration. Provides high-contrast, outstanding image quality and a soft out-of-focus background effect. Incorporates an AF/MF one touch switchover mechanism built into the focus ring(for Canon & Nikon only). Super performance series provides high performance through outstanding design specifications. Features the new FEC (Filter Effect Control) function that enhances operational ease of Polarizing Filter use. The new Filter Effect Control is designed to rotate the filter to the desired position while the hood is attached. This is accomplished by turning the FEC ring that in turn rotates the portion of the filter mount where the filter is mounted.

Tamron SP B01 Macro lens-180mm-F/3.5-Canon EF user reviews

"I use this lens to photograph flowers and plant details in the field and in the studio. It has many uses when a macro lens is needed to isolate detail. I like the longer focal length especially when using in the field and the subject is not easily accessible. Surprisingly, I prefer to use it in my studio more than my Canon 100 macro lens because of the more convenient working distance and the ease to rotate the lens and camera in the mounting collar. That allows one to switch quickly from vertical to horizontal format without detaching the camera from the tripod. I found it to be sharp through out the available f/stop range from the center to the edges. The price can't be beat and the quality of construction is as expected for a high quality lens. I really like the filter ring rotating collar feature that I wish other of my lenses had. It allows one to easily rotate the filter without having to try to turn the filter with the lens hood inplace. That is a great feature when using a graduated neutral density or polarizing filter. The light weight is very much appreciated when I am carrying equpment in the field. I also like the quick sliding collar that switches from auto to manual focus rather than a small slide switch that I never can easily find. You can't go wrong buying this product. It is a winner as much as their 24-75 mm APO f/2.8 lens."

"This is a sharp contrasty lens. Its focal length means you can be further away from your subject when photographing it. Also its sharper than my 2 Canon L lens. Wide open, it is slightly soft (no surprise) but stopped down one stop, it is sharp. Focus is good enough, not as good as Canon's, but usable-even in low light. Came with a nice pouch. I can't complain-the canon 180 macro is almost twice the price. nice lens."

"I haven't used other comparable lenses, but this lens was perfect in quality and usability. I really think the working distance, about 2 feet, is perfect for insects or other creatures that would get scared and move away if you got any closer. Here are some shots I took with this lens: [@]"
