Hi,
I recently acquired the latest version of the famous Tamron SP 95mm lens, the one which offers a 1:1 macro reproduction and a slightly slower speed of f2.8. I have the older version as well, but haven't had the time yet to compare them side by side on a given subject.
So, has someone here tested them side by side and can offer some info as to which lens is performing better?
Thanks,
Diddy

Is it possible you are inquiring about Tamron 90mm lenses??
If so:
http://photo.net/filters-bags-tripods-accessories-forum/00FhA1
If not, I'm unfamiliar with the 95s. Can you provide model numbers?
(I do own a Tamron 52B. It's a wonderful lens.) |

Ah, yes, my mistake, I was referring to the 90mm ones.
So the 52B(B) versus the 72B.
Thanks for the link: They seem to be comparing 52B(B) versus the new autofocus ones ... I guess that 72B might share the same optical design.
I quite like the 52BB - on the Canon 5D mark 1 it is just a splendid lens. It is very compact and hence good for travelling. It is well made as well. It doesn't go down to 1:1, but I probably don't need this that often anyways.
72B is a bit lager, way lighter as made mostly out of plastic. Goes down to 1:1 and image quality seems quite good so far as well. |

52B is all metal, 49mm filter size.
52BB has rubber focus ring, 55mm filter ring size, plastic window over focus scale, and is a few millimeters longer.
52B & 52BB have the same optics -- 8 elements in 6 groups.
72B has 10 elements in 9 groups.

Sure, no problem. You are most welcome.
Since you are, indeed, inquiring about Tamron 90s, it's possible a corresponding change to the title of your thread would help. Making the change might bring you more responses. Good luck. |

@guardian: Thanks for pointing out that I could change the title of the forum thread ... I wasn't aware that this was possible.
@visualopsins: Thanks a lot for the physical details.
I am mostly interested in understanding the following: If I take a picture with one of them, which one would be the better lens and why (disregarding the fact the 72B goes down to 1:1). |

I have the 55B and love it,I bought it only after reading fellow members experiences with it and I can say it has not disappointed me at all.I like its close focusing ability,the OOF area when used wide open and the sharpness when stopped down also the smoothness when focusing.How would that differ or be "better" than the newer 72b,I do not know.

Supposedly, (and we all believe everything we read on the net), the 72b has a curved rather than flat(ish) rear element and does not have this blue spot issue with digital cameras.
BTW, the extension tube for the 52b(b) is a nice thing -- better iq than with the flat field 2x converter - but of course you have to be committed to not shooting very long distances with it mounted.

Hey diddy,
I don't like the technical testing either,is it possible just to enjoy the lenses and not worry about any difference? or is there a specific reason you want to know which is the "better" lens?

@Nesster: this is interested ... I haven't seen this so far on my pictures, but I keep watching out for it now.
@Mo: my intention is to keep only one ideally. I didn't have much time yet to work with the 72B. I think I give myself then some more time to get to know this lens and so if there is any advantage optically over the old version. |

Mine does that as well. It's a great lens but this is annoying.

I don't usually go above 50mm but if I do it's the SP90. The 52BB is my all round favourite lens to use. I like everything about it.
Apart from the hot spot, an example of which I've posted before

I've never seen the spot with my 52B...the original old girl.
Used to get it on the 300/5.6 but only on my K-7 and K-5, but not on K100D.
Love the 52B for its construction and feel, was really pleased to get an A adapter for it and recently an original hood.
My FA100/2.8 is probably better in most ways but it is the Tamron I pick up
cheers
Pete

Stop down to f/16 or more & include bright light source in-frame -- you'll see the blue spot... For the longest time I thought with Canon 5D there was no spot, because I'd never stopped farther than f/8.

I had the 52B for a while and it was really well built. I later sold it when I got my lester dine 105mm macro.
