    Overview

    The Tamron SP AF 60mm f/2 Di II LD IF Macro is a fast APS-C macro lens offering a bright f/2 aperture, one stop faster than typical f/2.8 macros. Optically, it delivers very good sharpness wide open and excellent stopped down, with low distortion and manageable vignetting. Weaknesses include higher-than-expected lateral chromatic aberrations and a sloppy manual focus clutch. Build is modest but solid, with quiet internal focusing. It suits macro and portrait photographers seeking a fast, compact lens for APS-C DSLRs.
