i know this range is have those lenses to choice(tokina 90mm 2.5, vivitar 90mm 2.5 and tamron 90mm 2.5 ), but i have not see any review to compare those lenses, so i cannot make sure if tamron is a good choice because i just saw the vivitar review and i love the color..and i saw seem many guys say vivitar is better than tokina..

I have the Tamron 90/2,5, the Viv 90/2.5 made by Tokina, and the Vivi 105/2.5 made by Kiron - I love all of them. Differences are small and not all relating to sharpness - the 105 has best boke, the Viv 90 is probably the sharpest and the Tam is best all round especially contrast. These differences are all as I say - relatively small. I would be completely incapable of giving up any one of them Smile Smile Smile

I don't know your camera mount but we have someone here who is selling a Kiron 105.
It is a favorite and I highly recommend it.
Check here in marketplace for the thread.

Thanks for all the help!
I not have any digi camera just have one film camera(fujica st801), so M42 mount is my first target if buy other mount i need modify to M42.
Kiron and Tamron is good choice but seem not sharpest than Vivitar. I don't know how much should i pay for Kiron but that seem over 200USD, i saw some auction of Vivitar on ebay thats not over 200USD, and Tokina is hard to find, so Vivitar seem is cheap and sharp.. if i have wrong plz let me know, because i just interesting those lens.
Thanks again

I'll be picking up my new (used) Kiron 105 soon!

I had the Vivitar 90/2.5 and it was as sharp and beautiful as I would ever want. There may be "better", but I agree with Patrick that they probably wouldn't be all that much "better".
