Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art Lens Priced at $569

May 11, 2018 By Eric Reagan

Sigma’s new 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art lens price has been unveiled at $579 and will ship in Canon and Sigma mounts at the end of May to mid-June (the Sony E mount version is coming later this year).

The new lens offers a full 1:1 magnification with a minimum focus distance of 10.2″. The focus-by-wire design for this lens is apparently incompatible with Nikon’s AF system, so the F mount will be sitting out this round. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro Lens for Sony A-Mount Unveiled

August 21, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Tamron 90mm f2.8 Di VC USD

Tamron has announced the SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro lens for the Sony A-Mount. It offers a max 1:1 magnification, Tamron’s USD AF motor and full-time manual focus.

We knew the lens would be coming when Tamron announced the Canon and Nikon versions earlier this year. The new Sony version differs from the Canon and Nikon models only by the absence of built-in Vibration Compensation due to sensor-based image stabilization in Sony A-mount bodies. The Sony version carries the same $649 price tag though.

The new Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro should ship next week and is available for pre-order here at B&H Photo.
