New Z Mount Full Frame 90mm f/2.8 Tamron | Also For Sony E Mount | The OutBack First Look Matt Irwin

[@WaterfallJoe]

Absolutely loving all the Tamron for Z mounts lately! I just shot a video on the 50-400 yesterday. Great video my friend

[@jrperezphotography]

Thank you for the video. Tamron is knocking it out of the park. I just recently purchased the 50-400 mm lens and I’m so impressed with it that I will definitely be considering this 90 mm.

[@steveboys5369]

Hi Matt, a good effort with such a majestic subject. Some of the tones in the images were pretty amazing.

[@philyew3617]

Wow, some seriously impressive work there Matt, thanks for sharing. I've stayed with Nikon/Nikkor for over 40 years but these latest lenses from Tamron are really tempting me. At my age my photography now is just for me, to preserve my memories, not for any other reason, and at Tamron's prices for this level of quality ? I might just break the habit of 40 years.

[@davidnorris-hill2863]

Those are some beautiful pictures you took...

[@gregwojan1773]

Stunning images Matt! I'm looking forward to seeing a full review of the Z mount lens. A 90mm macro would be pretty cool IMHO.

Very beautiful photos! Amazing work!

[@josephsworkshop75]

Stunning, stunning, stunning. Beautiful images Matt. I’d certainly consider it if I didn’t already have the Nikon 105 macro. I’d love to see a lot of those images 2m tall! An amazing country. I’m looking forward to seeing more of what you e captured.

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Cheers Joe, more coming soon : )

[@csc-photo]

Now I know why Nikon partner'd up with Tamron - I've been beyond impressed with wha tthey're producing over the last 2-3 years. Their 50-400 is next on my list, and it'll be my first non-native lens (ever / in decades). This 90 2.8 Macro looks phenomenal as well! Thanks for all you do Matt! 😎📷

[@andreafranzius3189]

Most impressive photography, Matt, I absolutely love your images of this magical, moody place that may not be that easy to photograph. And the new Tamron macro looks like a lovely lens. Great soundtrack also, hypnotizing, just like your images. Wonderful work!

[@RaymondParkerPhoto]

Tamron's doing a great job. Thanks for a look, Matt!

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Cheers Ray.

[@mylucksmiles]

I don’t know the price of the lens. My advice is to look up the Nikon z105 mm micro although it’s not new it’s not that old either , The tamron 90mm looking at your macro photos don’t cut it for me. I am being honest and would recommend anyone interested to look up z 105 price at the moment. You can get a great bargain new . Top tip for anyone the extension tude fitted on to a 24~120 z f.4 . Does Amauu things . Try it .

[@JayBlue2U]

From the images you’ve shared it appears to produce beautiful images. Thanks for this brief update on the lens!

[@mozzman]

I applaud you for your dedication, those shots on Mars were fantastic! In all seriousness, a fantastic video and production - love the location.

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Cheers Moz, spectacular country. If you ever make it Down Under we need to do a road trip.

[@photograficalex]

Looks like a super lens. Beautiful pictures. What an exciting site! Looking forward to more from Tamron (and Nikon). I have fingers crossed for some tilt-shift lenses on the Z-mount in the near future. Hoping. Looking forward to that.

[@pauldhoff]

Funny how, from a distance, it just looks like a huge rock, but up close. I is a whole universe. You got so lucky with the rain to bring the whole area to life. Great shots again Matt.

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Cheers Paul, it has been a spectacular trip. 😀

[@pauldhoff]

@@MattIrwinPhotography Great. :)

[@mikkosuhonenphotography]

I would love to have a macro lens for my Z 5. :) Looks good!

[@andrewjinks7546]

The Nikon F mount 90mm f2.8 macro lenses were excellent, my go to macro lens for many years, good to see Tamron building on this legacy for mirrorless cameras.

[@creditelectric]

Have an E mount Sony a7S in addition to my Nikon F mount, this lens interests me a lot, the venue for showing off this lens is so gorgeous & so lucky to visit after the rarely occurring rain.

[@andrewmason8691]

You would have had a blast there, Matt. What an experience, for those reading this and haven't been there. I took some of my favourite photos at Uluru, Field of Dreams and nearby Kata Tjuta. Have you been to Broken Hill and nearby Mundi Mundi lookout, Matt? If not, add that to your bucket list. Apart from welcoming the new lenses that are now available for the Z mount, I can't help but be impressed by Nikon's marketing strategy.

[@franciscojose8577]

Very,very good pictures, congratulations, from Chile

[@ronboe6325]

Since I already have the Nikon Z 105mm macro this one is not for me - but it would seriously considered if not. This was a good reminder that the macro can do more than just macro shots.

[@dunnymonster]

We've come full circle with this new Tamron release. My first proper 1:1 macro lens was their 90mm f2.8 for f mount, the one with the clutch manual focusing. In fact I still own it having adapted it to my micro four thirds system. A great addition to Z mount 👍

[@dominiclester3232]

Nice video, magical place, thanks! The little streams are very intriguing. Those mid-continent clouds are very dynamic. I have an old manual focus Tamron 90mm and a newer af version but Tamron previously made 4 or 5 versions of this macro lens, so if this latest version doesn’t give the Z 105mm a run for its money, I’d be surprised!

[@tedk2814]

All I can say is WOW!!, amazing photos of central Australia . At first my thoughts were " these shots would be great for another calendar, not quite your typical rainy night in the city with bicycles, but I say give is a go. The Tamron lens is close to my Nikon 85 1.8 S lens which I seldom use. I have found that that focal length at 1.8 is very good for high school basketball and volleyball, fast and all. but its not a macro. I'd say Tamron priced it right. Amazing photos, thanks,

[@davidroberts6766]

Absolutely gorgeous images, Matt. I have both the 105mm and 50mm Z macros, so not for me, but looks like a high value lens!

[@rogermanning4353]

Looks like it would be a nice portrait/macro option for wedding/event togs. Cheers!

[@iankeevil9968]

Great set of pictures looks like a great lens.

[@gregcorker2193]

Beautiful images. As you stated, it is notable Tamron is releasing the lens at the same time on E and Z mounts. It says good things about the level of Z mount adoption and the perceived value of that market to companies targeting that segment.

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

Totally agree. And I will talk more about this in my full review. 😀

[@carlmcneill1139]

I think you also need to do a comparison between this lens and the Nikon 105mm macro. I know they're different focal lengths but they're very close.

[@rubicons4]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing! From WA state!

[@janvonkrogh7772]

Hi from Norway! Those shots are amazing, and so the lens seems to be. Look forward to your test of this lens vs Nikons z 105mm microNikkor. Btw :Why isn’t there a z s-lens 28mm f1.8? Jan v Krogh!

[@gerhardsteinhofer]

I am still waiting for the z version of Tamrons 17-70mm f2.8 APS-C lens.

[@DuskoJovic]

Between all my Sony G's and GM's I have one Tamron lens. 28-75 f2.8 VXD G2 and its fantastic. Great AF, colors and contrast. So now I am seriously looking for one more Tamron to add into my collection. This one. :) ... a small suggestion... I expect more macro samples, not landscapes but okay :)

[@glennn.3464]

I love that Tamron is making more lenses for Z mount and they’ve been making some very good ones. I’d love to have their 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 when I don’t need the reach - or size and weight - of my Nikon 180-600mm. Having 50mm on the wide end is nice and the lens performs extremely well for an 8x range. I’m not sure about this lens though. Firstly, I wonder if the version for Nikon will simply be a mount-adapted version of the E-mount and would likely have more distortion and vignetting compared to the Sony version as a result or will it be optimized optically for Nikon Z-mount. Secondly, I wonder what the Tamron version could possibly have over the near-perfect Nikon Z Macro 105mm f/2.8 VR S? I could see if it were a 2x macro but it’s still a 1x macro. So, other than being cheaper and having 12 aperture blades instead of 9, I’m not sure that the small difference in focal length makes it worth getting over Nikon's own lens even if it comes close to the same performance.

[@rboonprasan]

Long waiting, at last.... I have the old version, 272B. I love its rendering and wonderful bokeh, but my copy hss misfocusing problem when I shoot portraits or the subject is far more than 4 meters many times. I'll definitely buy this new version for sure.

[@JasonLorette]

I wish Tamron (or Sigma ART) would release a wide 2.8 that's economical for Z mount, like an 18-35 or something.

[@nickcucchiara]

The F mount 90mm is one of my favorite lenses for it's tasks. If I had a Z body I'd go for it.

[@barclayjb]

Tamron is challenging Nikon at one of their strongest points. For just a bit more money (on sale) you can get the Nikon MC105 which is so excellent. If the Nikon wasn't such a stand-out lens, one might be tempted to save some money. But if you need a Z macro, get the MC105. If you need a 50mm, get the Z 50mm 1.8 S. When greatness stoops down to greet you, say yes.

[@johnw.3636]

I have always loved the Tamron brand.

[@SwanSycorax]

Thanks Matt. I already have the Nikon Z 105 f/2.8 Macro lens. Would i benefit from this new 90mm Tamron? How dothey compare? Thanks again.

[@MrJason8957]

The price is not too bad. Now I'll have to consider it.

[@prios61]

Beautifull ❤

[@lescobrandon3047]

It seems to possibly be a good portrait lens.

[@DaBraveheart]

My post has nothing to do with the lens featured in this video but please tell Tamron that we need an ultra wide lens for Z mount. I would love for them to make 10-17mm or even a 12-17mm. F/2.8 would be great but a F/4 would work as well. They have already given us a 17-28mm f/2.8 but i would love something wider for Real Estate photography. Matt, please pass on that word for me

[@Jviotr]

I’m mostly excited that this is the first Tamron lens to be released on Sony and Z mounts at the same time. Does this mean we can expect all new Tamron glass to be released on both mounts? I sure hope so!

[@andpenn]

It's an interesting lens, but not one I need, as the Nikon 85mm f1.8 and 105 F2.8i have my needs covered.

[@hielkeklooster241]

Tamron is on a roll and Sigma is quiet as a barn mouse on their rollout plans.....hmmmmm

[@TonyHedges]

Just out of interest, if someone produced a Z lens and you got your hands on it, would you tell us if it was bad?

[@MattIrwinPhotography]

LOL, Yes. Watch my videos, and I tell you what to look out for. I just don't run a gloom and doom narrative. And why, because we get what we pay for in life. I never expect an A grade experience at an entry level price, and vice versa. If a lens is $150 USD, I don't expect the same quality as a $700 USD lens. Nor should I or anybody else, and thus I assess relative to its place in the market. In this case, as I state, this is not a review, and I let the images do the talking, I will review this lens in full at a later date. Watch my reviews, and I will tell you if a lens is fringing, or soft in the corners, or whatever else, but there won't be any sirens and flashing lights attached to that, so you might miss it. I might say something like, " relative to this price point you are getting what you pay for" There is rarely a lens that actually fails to deliver an image of good-great quality for the majority of users in the mirrorless era.

Why isn't Sigma making Z lenses other than the trio?

[@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas]

Great! Canon looks really bad in comparison to Sony and Nikon with third-party lens support.

[@comment_below]

really too bad it wasn't just a 90mm 1.4 nonmacro -total missed opportunity -per usual for Z-mount ... we dont need another macro unless wide angle macro ... and nikon z 85mm 1.8 (over 2.8) would be better.... bad business / product design ... i would have purchased immediately if it were a 90mm 1.4 non-macro especially beings nikons z 85 1.4 probably coming out will be consumer level, non-pro, sharpness aka suck
