Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro

Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro

As Tamron’s macro has a focal length of 90mm rather than 100mm or 105mm, the lens has to be slightly closer than would otherwise be the case to record a true macro (1:1) image.

Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Nano

Thanks to the addition of Vibration Reduction (VR) technology this is a big lens by conventional 100mm macro standards, and it is also heavier and more expensive than the norm.

Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Macro USM

Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Macro USM

There’s a lot packed into this compact lens, starting with a generous 4.8x zoom range that covers the entire gamut of frequently-used focal lengths for full-frame photography.

Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED

Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED

Despite an already protracted name, Nikon’s 24-120mm is so bristling with features that some of its specifications have had to be added as additional inscriptions on its underside.

Sigma 18-125mm f/3.8-5.6 DC OS HSM

Sigma 18-125mm f/3.8-5.6 DC OS HSM

Sony's ultra-wideangle has a fixed f2.8 aperture to set it apart from the crowd. But at £1400 is it worth every penny? The What Digital Camera Sony Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 16-35mm f/2.8 ZA SSM...
