Tamron Di III 90mm f/2.8 VXD Macro 90mm
The 12-blade circular aperture creates perfectly circular bokeh and distinct 12-ray starbursts, while the VXD linear motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus with a focus limiter switch to prevent hunting. The specially designed lens hood features a sliding window for easy filter swapping, and the lens is compatible with Tamron Lens Utility software for custom function assignments. This lens is best for portrait and macro photographers on the Nikon Z system who prioritize smooth background rendering and precise subject isolation.
