A first rate translation. A few slightly awkward english usages, but never anything unclear. As a happy owner of this lens, it was an enjoyable read. Tests indicate that the second version, with the 55m filter size, is sharper.

I think the writer would have been much happier with the Kiron 105/2.8 that focuses to 1:1 than with the Vivitar. The big advantage of the Tamron is the matched 2x flat field multiplier that makes it a 180/5 that focuses directly to 1:1. The extra reach is wonderful in many outdoor situations. (The 1.4x makes it 126/3.6 that focuses between 1:1 and 1:2, not really enough longer or closer for me.)

Hi list,

after a direct request from a list member, I tried to translate (as worst as
possible, you'll say;) an article regarding the famous Tamron 90mm f/2.5
macro (1st version), found on an Italian photography web resource.

The translated article should be found here:
