Tamron SP AF60mm F/2.0 Di II LD (IF) MACRO 1:1

The new 60mm 1:1 macro lens with a maximim aperture of F2. Sharp image quality and beautiful out-of-focus effects bring new richness to photographic expression.

Features

High-resolution macro lens designed with uncompromising focus on performance.

This high-resolution macro lens achieves the overwhelming brightness of F/2, while at the same time preventing increases in aberration variations that may occur with the adoption of the large aperture. The adoption of two large LD (low dispersion) lenses allows advanced correction of chromatic and other aberrations. The new BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) multi-layer coatings and internal surface coatings (coatings on cemented surface of elements) have also been introduced to thoroughly reduce ghosting and flare.

Working distance of 100mm, the longest of lenses in this class

This lens' working distance of 100mm, the longest in its class*, means that an appropriate distance may be maintained while still enjoying 1:1 macro photography (when hood is not attached). Due to the internal focusing system employed, the overall length of the lens does not change when adjusting the focus, achieving major improvements in ease of use.

*Standalone life-size macro lens with a focal length equivalent to 50-60mm. Based on present Tamron research (June 1, 2009).

Full-time manual control mechanism, enabling MF operations without switching mode

While the large focus ring maintains a solid grip during auto-focus mode, when fine-tuning of the point of focus is required the photographer can make delicate adjustments in manual focus mode by merely rotating the focus ring. This full-time manual focusing control mechanism enables seamless use of the auto and manual focus modes without needing to adjust the AF/MF switchover button.

1:1 life-size macro lens with fast maximum aperture of F/2, also fits small cameras

To prevent the lens from growing in size due to the adoption of the F/2 maximum aperture, the internal construction of previous macro lenses was reviewed, and the accuracy and precision of all components has been improved, resulting in a compact lens with a maximum diameter of only 73mm. In addition, through extensive use of precision molded components using highly reliable plastic engineering, the lightness of the lens is without compare, and its size enables use in a wide range of photographic situations in the field.
