The SP 90mm 1:1 macro lens retains the outstanding optical quality of the highly rated Tamron SP 90mm it succeeds. With emphasis on portability, the lens is now considerably smaller and lighter than before. It boasts high resolving power and sharp image depiction with ideal background blur. The new focusing ring clutch engages and disengages the focusing gear, making the switch between AF and MF a simple slide of the focusing ring forward or back. This mechanism and a wide, smooth focusing ring make delicate manual focusing in the macro mode easy and precise. Less

This lens produces smooth, natural skin tones and beautiful out-of-focus backgrounds at open aperture in portrait applications, while assuring crisp, high-contrast images at closed-down aperture in landscape photography. The lens barrel, hood and cap are all made of a high-grade aluminum material, and the focusing ring is designed for superb accessibility and maximum ease of focusing operation. The PENTAX-original Super Protect (SP) coating is applied through a vapor deposition process, where the surface is coated with a special fluorine compound to repel dust, water and grease, making it easy to wipe off fingerprints and cosmetics.

Pentax's 70mm moderate telephoto is an enthusiast's dream.

by daoswald , Aug 29, 2007

Pros: Excellent image quality, ultra-compact, superior metal build quality. Perfect portrait lens.

Cons: Cap fits over hood, and can't be fitted without the hood.

The Bottom Line: An enthusiast's lens. Excellent optics and build. Lenses like this are why people buy Pentax.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: When I was a kid my father had (and in fact still has) an Olympus OM-2n SLR, with a handful of lenses of various focal lengths. With their metal construction, smoothly dampened focus rings, and in some cases slide-away hoods, these lenses always...
