Tamron 60mm f/2 macro Review

88

The Tamron 60mm f/2 macro is a great lens for macro photography. It has a wide maximum aperture of f/2 and creates an excellent background blur. The image quality is very impressive, with sharpness and good contrast. The lens displays some chromatic aberration, but it is minimal at narrower apertures. The build quality is average, but the lens is lightweight and has a smooth manual focus ring. The autofocus is a bit slow and sometimes inaccurate, but overall, this lens is highly recommended for macro photography.
