The cult classic lens, Tamron 90mm f/2.5 Tele Macro Super Portrait lens known for its excellent resolution and contrast. FROM http://www.adaptall-2.com/lenses/52B.html (see link for resolution numbers) Tamron SP 90mm F/2.5 Macro Model 52BB: A very good 1:2 macro lens with above average resolution and contrast. Performance is fairly similar to Kiron's 105mm F/2.8 macro lens. Contrast is noticeably improved by using the accessory lens hood to control stray light since the front elements are barely recessed in the front of the lens. The model 52BB is merely a cosmetically redesigned version of the original 52B. Tamron made an optional accessory 1:1 extension tube for this lens. Optimal aperture at all focus distances down to 1:4 is F/8. Optimal aperture between 1:4 and 1:1 is F/11. Lens is in used but very good shape. Glass is clean and clear and in nice shape ready to shoot. No haze, fungus or oil on blades. Barrel shows wear but glass is excellent. $ 149 plus shipping. I ship worldwide to PayPal addresses. Test photos taken at f/2.8 and 5.6 although facebook has compressed the images...dm me if you want to see full images and the great resolution this lens gives
