Hi there,
I spotted this lens, I'm curious about it. From the samples I've seen around seems to be a good macro and a good portrait.
What do you people think about it? |

Thank you for the info Lloydy.
Since I already have extension tube and the Raynox DCR-150, do I need the 01F? |

I also own a Tamron 90mm macro, and it is one of the sharpest lenses I own. The only other lens I own that rivals it in sharpness is an old 55mm f/3.5 Micro-Nikkor. I also own the 01F and the 1.4x (don't recall its code offhand), plus I own a couple of the Vivitar macro-focusing 7-element 2x TCs. They are excellent TCs, every bit as good as the Tamrons.
I have conducted tests -- one test on several macros, including the Tamron, and another test on teleconverters, including the 01F and the Vivitar. Which is how I can state unequivocally what I do about their sharpness.
Rosebud. Taken with an EOS XS (10.1mp), Tamron 90mm macro @ ISO 100. Live View was used to confirm focus. The camera's on-board flash was used:

Strange, I do have the Tamron SP 90mm ƒ2.5 Model: 52BB with original extension tube 18F but does not contain glass inside...
Is the 01F tele-converter or original extension tube for Tamron 90mm 2.5? _________________

Thanks! I know that 018F is specifically made for Tamron SP 90mm (52BB) and did not knew that 01F tele-converter can be used as well, but that would mean that lens is at that point 180mm ƒ5.0 when using tele-converter... anyway handy to have tele-converter as well in addition to 018F extension tube. _________________

Well, I don't know about that rear element being uncoated. It sure looks coated to me. It's more a case of the element being flat. And since the 52B and 52BB are optically identical, this problem would be common to both.
I think, depending on the subject matter -- like if you were into shooting plain, blank walls, this blue spot the Tamron 90 macro produces with some DSLRs might be a problem. I've confirmed its presence with my Canon DSLR, but I really had to look for it to find it. To me, it's always been a non-issue, mostly I suspect because I don't spend much time shooting pix of blank walls . . .

Actually, your second and third statements are incorrect. You have it backwards with your second statement. The Tamron 90 macro was designed for 90mm and longer, but it still works with most wide-to-tele zooms. See:
http://adaptall-2.org/lenses/01F.html
Tamron's other 2x TC is the 200F, a very rare piece and worth quite a chunk of change on eBay these days. It was designed to be used with a specific set of lenses, and rather than my listing them here, I'll just refer you to its page at adaptall-2.org:

I'm not following all of this. First of all, when you use the TC, everything you wrote is correct except the f-stops remaining the same. Well, they don't change per-se, but the effective f-stops are doubled. IOW, your lens may be set to f/8, but it's getting only f/16 worth of light. Gain 2x magnification, lose 2 stops of light. You don't get something for nothing, even with light. And this same basic thing happens when you use an extension tube. It's the extension that's causing a fall-off in the amount of light reaching the film or sensor, hence the effective f/stop being changed.
One always runs the risk of being misunderstood when using words like "increase" and "reduce" with f/stops because of the inverse relationship between the number and the amount of light entering the lens, i.e., bigger numbers meaning less light. I prefer to use the term EV when I talk about increases and decreases -- it's less confusing. Shoot, even after over thirty years at this, I still get crossed up, not writing what I mean, and then not realizing until later that I wrote the exact opposite of what I meant. Hooboy.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't see the last sentence of your previous message. I don't know without looking it up on eBay what the Tamron TCs sell for these days, but if I had to guess, I'd say probably between $30 and $50. When I find a large range of prices on an item, I'll usually toss out the high ones for sure because there are invariably sellers who think they've just found gold. And often the lowest prices, when examining the item carefully, a problem will be revealed if the seller is being honest -- which they often are, I've found. So I'll often pay most attention at prices that are a couple of clicks away from being the cheapest.
I haven't shopped for a TC in a long time since I own both the 1.4x and 2.0x and have for quite a few years. On the general topic of TCs, though, if you should run across the Vivitar macro-focusing 2x in a mount you can use for a reasonable sum, you might should think seriously about picking it up. It is an excellent TC and its macro-focusing ability can come in very handy. Not just for turning any 50mm or 100mm lens into a macro lens, but also when you have a lens where the minimum focusing distance is too far away, you can bring things in a lot closer with one of these Vivitars. I own two -- one in Nikon and one in Canon FD mount. And I'm probably gonna have to pick up one in Pentax mount now that my Pentax kit has grown so much.

If you are interested in getting the 01F teleconverter and/or the 18F extension tube, you may find the following thread useful:
http://forum.mflenses.com/tamron-sp-90mm-and-teleconverter-and-extension-tube-comparisons-t63650.html
I did a comparison to check the differences in quality and magnification when shooting with different setups and posted the results and some conclusions there.
Anyhow, as it has been already stated, this Tamron is a fabulous piece of glass and so is the 01F TC. Can't recommend it enough.
This is the kind of sharpness and resolution you can expect from this lens:
This is what it delivers when mounted on the TC:
And this is what you get adding the extension tube to the lens + TC setup:

Great pictures and post.
Just got recently a copy of this Tamron SP 90mm f2.5 lens quite cheaply, as the glass seem to be only in average shape and waiting for the adaptall mount to give it a try.... Hope that in spite of the glass condition, lens will still perform nicely ..
Curious to compare this one with the Vivitar 100mm f3.5 (plastic fantastic) I already own and very pleased with. |

Micheal,
Rear element: The only reason I became aware of this issue was after purchasing a Mamiya/Sekor 55 f1.4, to only discover it produces this dreaded spot with the a6000. I've been shooting blissfully oblivious of the blue spot problem since I got this Tamron. The statement is of course 2nd hand from another post about the 52B. I know the 52BB is optically the same, so I went back to check my photos and didn't have any signs of this. Fortunate (so far).
Yes, re-reading my edit, saying to myself, WTF? Why did I write that?? This is what happens when you try to post and discover there has been several replies since you finished and submitted, and try to make changes to respond to new questions, while sleep deprived and pre-caffeinated. Note to self...don't try anything cerebral before having your espresso!
OK, I got it all ass-backwards. I had read the 01F description before, when I bought the teleconverter, trying to ID which one it was. I tried it out over the Memorial Day weekend with the 2nd 55BB shooting the Half Moon. But the results fell short. Unsharp and aberrations. The disappointment must have flipped my memory to blame the 01F as not compatible, and only the 200F was matching.
At least it will be good for the 52BB. Looking forward to trying them together, especially after seeing the sample photos above.

kido, amazing shots!
Thanks for posting them.
I've bought the lens and the TC, just waiting to receive them in the mailbox.
I've to read your post about the comparison (I'll also try with the Raynox, curious to see the result).
