Tamron SP AF Aspherical XR Di LD [IF] 28-75mm 1: 2.8 Macro A09 is an inexpensive, versatile fast lens for full-frame cameras, often used as a replacement for native expensive class 24 (28) -70 / 2.8 lenses, such as Nikon N AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm 1: 2.8G ED NanoCrystalCoat SWM IF Aspherical or Canon Zoom Lens EF 24-70mm 1: 2.8 L USM.

The lens barrel has his full name on the barrel: 'Tamron SP AF Aspherical XR Di LD [IF] 28-75mm 1: 2.8 Macro A09', while the box contains a clarification that says 'Model A09N'. The letter 'N' in the model name refers to the version of the lens for Nikon cameras.

Please note that the Tamron A09 lens was also available for other systems:

  • Canon - Model A09E
  • Pentax - Model A09P
  • Sony - Model A09S
  • Nikon - Model A09N (such as in this review) or A09NII

For Sony cameras, there is another original copy of the lens - Sony 2.8 / 28-75 SAM (SAL2875) with the same optical design as the Tamron A09. And also, with the same optical design, there is Konica Minolta AF ZOOM 28-75mm 1: 2.8 (32) D.

Assembly

Despite the fact that the lens is positioned as SP (Super Performance), the build quality is better. The new Tamron A09 lenses feature lightweight play on the retractable body frame. Over time, the backlash becomes stronger, the backlash of the zoom ring and the focus ring appears. Holding the lens in my hands it seems that it is about to crumble. Also, over time, the rubber bands of the zoom ring swell and exfoliate. Parts of the lens can sometimes creak. Build quality is similar to Tamron 17-50mm F / 2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF). But unlike 17-50, the 28-75mm version lasts a very long time, and the picture quality does not suffer from the shakiness of the case.

The focus and zoom rings are rubberized. Tamron A09 has metal bayonet mount. The retractable trunk of the lens consists of one section.

There is a mark on the case for quick installation of the hood. The lens uses a plastic lens Tamron DA09, which is fixed in special grooves located near the front lens of the lens. The hood can be installed in the opposite direction for transportation. In this position, access to the zoom and focus ring is practically not lost.

The lens comes in a small cardboard box with a characteristic Tamron coloring.

'LOCK' button

Frame (trunk) at Tamron A09 spontaneously changes its size under its own weight (perhaps this begins only with time). For example, when the camera is tilted down, the trunk of the lens spontaneously lengthens (focal length increases). To prevent such an unpleasant nuance, the lens lock button 'LOCK' (the so-called 'lock') is present on the lens body, which tightly locks focal length at a value of 28 mm.

To fix the trunk of the lens, you must first set the 28 mm focal length.

The lens is inconvenient to 'remove from the lock' before shooting, since the button is in a very inconvenient place.

Also, note that while changing the focal length, the rear lens moves in the middle of the lens body like a pump - it draws in and pushes out air. This behavior of the rear lens is called 'effect' of a vacuum cleaner, which can increase the amount of dust that accumulates in the camera.

Diaphragm

The aperture blades were apparently economized, since the Tamron A09 uses a 7-bladder aperture. On covered diaphragms, the formed hole is rather round, but still the faces of the 7-gon square can be easily traced.

A maximum relative aperture of 1: 2.8 is available over the entire range of focal lengths. Aperture closes to F / 32.

Focusing

The focus ring rotates only 45 degrees, which makes manual focusing quite difficult. During auto focus the ring rotates and cannot be touched.

Auto focus fast, internal type... Auto focus is quite noisy. The lens has a scale with a focusing distance scale in meters and feet. The closest focusing distance is 33cm and the maximum zoom ratio is 1: 3.9, which is quite good. The inscription 'Macro' on the lens is more for show, since the 'real' macro lens cannot shoot.

Compatibility and Features

It's important: auto focus with this lens is available only when using him on cameras with built-in motor focusing.

Exact list Nikon DSLR cameras with a built-in focus motor, on which this lens will focus automatically:

Exact list Nikon DSLR cameras without a built-in focus motor, on which this lens will not focus automatically:

Only auto focus and sound confirmation of focus will not work with these cameras, all other important functions, such as automatic exposure metering and automatic iris control, will work well.

You will find a lot of useful information on the types of cameras and lenses Nikon here.

There is no focus mode switch on the lens itself; to put the lens in manual focus mode, you must put the camera in manual focus mode using the switch located near the camera mount.

The lens has a manual aperture ring. To be able to control the value aperture from camera or for automatic installation aperture on modern central control valves, you need to turn the control ring to the F / 32 value, after which it is fixed with a special button, which is located to the left of the marks aperture. To release the fixation of the diaphragm ring, press the latch button. If this is not done, then on a number of cameras, the display will display an error - 'fEE' (ring is not installed aperture) Some cameras having diaphragm rheostatallow you to control the aperture using the ring aperturebut only in metering modes exposure 'M' and 'A'. You can read more about this issue in the section on Non-G Lenses. Ring aperture rotates with clicks, the values ​​F / 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32 are plotted on it. It is impossible to establish an intermediate value between pairs of numbers using the aperture ring. Intermediate values ​​can only be set using the camera menu.

EGF lens for Nikon DX cameras is 42-112.5mm. I don’t see much point in using Tamron A09 on cropped Nikon cameras. Who is looking for a similar inexpensive lens for cropped cameras, I advise you to look away Tamron 17-50mm F / 2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF).

Versions A09N and A09N II

There are two versions of the Tamron A09 lens for Nikon cameras: Tamron SP AF Aspherical XR Di LD [IF] 28-75mm 1: 2.8 Macro A09 (Model A09N) and Aspherical LD ​​XR DI SP Tamron AF 28-75mm f / 2.8 [IF] Macro A09 (Model A09N II).

Below are the main differences between them:

  1. Version A09N was released from 2003 to 2008. Version A09N II is available from 2008 to the present day.
  2. The A09N II version has a built-in micro-focus motor, which allows the lens to be used with any Nikon camera, even entry-level amateur cameras. In fact, for Nikon cameras, the A09N II version is 'AF-S' alike. Unfortunately, the name does not show the presence of a focusing motor.
  3. Different names. Tamron is generally very fond of long names for their lenses. If you look closely, the A09N version in its name has the following sequence of 'titles': “Tamron SP AF Aspherical XR Di LD [IF] 28-75mm 1: 2.8 Macro”. The A09N II version has a different name, with rearranged 'titles' and a different aperture designation: “Aspherical LD ​​XR DI SP Tamron AF 28-75mm f / 2.8 [IF] Macro”.
  4. The auto focus speed of the A09N II is slightly lower than the previous version. Especially the difference in focusing speed is felt on TOP cameras that have fast and powerful built-in focus motor.
  5. The A09N II has an 'AF / MF' focus mode switch located on the lens barrel. The A09N version does not have such a switch.
  6. A09N II removed the aperture control ring.
  7. Other changes and improvements to the lenses are possible, but exact additional information is not available.

I could check the operation of the focus motor of the A09N II model on a non-motorized camera Nikon D40where the A09N II lens performed wonderfully. Below are examples of photos from the A09N II:

Important: There are two sub-versions of A09N with different enlightenment. The first sub-versions have enlightenment, which makes the picture yellowish in JVI and seriously biases white balance in the yellow line (bottle glass). The review shows a subversion of A09N with updated enlightenment. Updated A09N enlightenment shimmers with green, yellow and purple colors (see photo below). Subversion A09N with old enlightenment shimmers in green, red and purple (no yellow). Be careful not to fall for the version of A09N with the old enlightenment.

Image quality

In the center, the lens is sharp across the entire range of focal lengths and even at F / 2.8. True, on F / 2.8 I would like better lens performance. If you cover the aperture to F / 4.0, then the claims for sharpness in the center of the frame disappear altogether. Unfortunately, the sharpness at the corners and edges of the frame on a full-format camera is much better. Also, the lens suffers from severe vignetting at open apertures, especially at 28 mm focal length.

Needless to say, distortion is indispensable here, however, it has a uniform appearance and is easily corrected by the editor. Chromatic aberrations pretty well fixed and rarely seen in the frame. Tamron A09 has a good contrast and behaves well in backlight. In addition, the lens has at least some of its own more or less nice design. In general, Tamron A09 does not create anything revolutionary for the money, but at the same time, image quality should be sufficient for most tasks.

I used this lens in a huge number of full-fledged shootings as one single universal solution with cameras Nikon D700, D610, D90 and S5 Pro:

All photos were shot using protective filter Marumi Made in Japan DHG Super Lens Protect 67mm.

You can watch the lens during real shooting on my website using the links 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

Results

In terms of price and quality, the Tamron A09 (versions A09N, A09N II) is a good universal fast lens for full-frame cameras. On APS-C cameras does not allow the full use of a wide angle. The Tamron A09 is one of the cheapest and best alternatives for professional 24-70 / 2.8 and 28-70 / 2.8. Recently, I recommend Tamron A09 to everyone as balanced decision for full-length cameras.

    Hello!! I have canon1100d, I want to shoot portraits and weddings. I read that photographers with a single lens Tamron AF 28-75mm f / 2.828-75mm f / 2.8 manage to take off the whole wedding, is that in your opinion, is it enough for such a shooting? Can I put on macro rings? Or can they also shoot macro? I mean a bouquet, rings and other little things. And I wonder how sharp the photos are and the bokeh is good at 2.8? Thank))

      If you seriously approach, then you can remove anything at 28-75. at 1100d there will be problems with a wide angle of 28mm. You can put on macro rings. They can’t shoot a real macro. Booths and other little things can be removed. I can see bokeh in my examples. Sharpness depends on aperture and other parameters.

    The second one is too expensive, about 40 thousand. And the first one is 16 thousand. For the price suits the first) In the first it says “macro” does it mean it is intended for macro shooting? That is, you can't remove everything on it?

      Macro is just a possibility, a universal lens designed for wide-angle shooting.

        thank you very much for the information!! last question: why such a difference in price, 2,5 times? Which Tamron SP AF 28-75 mm f / 2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] Macro for Canon costs 16 thousand, is it worse than Tamron SP 24-70 mm f / 2.8 DI VC USD Lens for Canon? What is worse?

          24.03.2013 in 18: 45 Reply

          Because a more expensive lens has an image stabilizer, it is a new model with a wider angle.

    Sorry for the replay.
    How many thousands can be captured with this lens?
    What do you recommend as an equivalent glass?
    Will the Sigma AF 28-70mm F2.8 be inferior or is it better to look towards the Tokina AF 28-70mm f / 2.8? Thank.

    Good afternoon.
    I took this lens. There are no problems with front-back focus. But there is a detail issue. Compared with the same frame composition with the Soviet fixes Helios-81N, Jupiter 37A, Kaleinar 5H - all Soviet fixes have better detailing (except that Gelis has comparable detail). The diaphragm was set to 3.5 in all cases. Is this how it should be or I have a bad copy and need to change?
    Thank you!

      Usually fixes have a higher resolution than zooms.

    Hello. Can you please tell me - will the difference between a motor and non-motor in terms of image quality be noticeable? After all, as I understood the motor diameter for the filter is -77mm, and without the motor 67mm? THANKS.

      You still have a question, little is clear
      The first is what kind of camera you have, the motor affects only the speed of aiming, and then conditionally, having trained, you can focus no worse than an automaton, motor focusing ring travel in "M" mode is small, for non-motorized ones it is large, and the filter diameter is not at all a topic here, this is how to tie ground clearance to fuel quality

    Hi all!
    The other day I bought this beast, I am satisfied, I screwed it on the D7000
    I was lucky or is it all fables about BF / FF, but I have a flu THAT, without any +/- (from the focus point forward / backward the same, and then the bokeh swam))) I forgot to check mine at all, grabbed it and mine ...)) )
    One thing I noticed was that he eats the battery worse than fifty dollars, but I think it’s logical, pulling a pound of glass at such a speed pours into something, but about the case it’s not a fact that it is completely plastic, because it has a ring from aluminum, and it’s not so important, I have a fujp fanpix6500fd camera, the machine has been working smartly for 5 years already, albeit plastic
    In short, the recipe is this, if after forum intoxication and other nausea you take the product in your hands and tummy a pleasant sensation, then this is the right purchase and will serve faithfully
    Good luck to everyone!

      You probably have a non-motorized version of the lens (autofocus will only be on cameras with a built-in focusing motor (“with a screwdriver”) on budget cameras like d3000 / d3100 / d3200 / d5000 / d5100 / d5200 - there will be no autofocus!). If you buy a lens with a motor (with an AF-MF button), you can shoot with autofocus.

        Nikon D5200 has excellent autofocus. You are mistaken about his absence in this camera. Therefore, it is also better to take it with a motor.

    Have a nice day.
    Tell me, I have Nikon d90 (DX carcass). I want this lens, it greatly removes the wide angle?
    Or tell me what a good lens you can take for this or a little more price? Sharpness and aperture are important. I want a good sharp picture on portraits and joint photos.
    I would appreciate that.

      We put the whale in our hands, put the FR 28, and determine whether it is wide enough or not.

    As for me, the angle is enough. On the crop, at a wide angle it will shoot without distortion.
    If you want to show a deep linear perspective, you need a broader brother. He has a beautiful picture when shooting a portrait.
    For the prospect of moving to full frame - the best for the money.

    For wedding photography reasons, what would you buy?

    Probably the native Nikon optics are better, but it will be difficult to blur the background at full frame on aperture 4.

    What does “wide angle problems” mean? You mean it just won't exist?)
    And then I want to buy myself as the main one on the Nikon D3100. I thought that the wide angle is not critical, and the diaphragm is very attractive, and I usually need to reach further.

    Question to Arkady. Are there any differences in Tamron 28-75 quality between individual specimens? What should I look for when buying?

      Of course there is. You need to pay attention to everything - from lens mechanics to optical properties.

    Today I bought as a staffer for my D600. I chose from 2 copies, the first one suffered not a big back focus at 75mm, the 2nd hit exactly on target :)
    In general, for its price (3451 UAH) I really liked the lens ...
    2.8 is really working, which cannot but rejoice, there is no HA as Arkady wrote above, the vignette at 28mm is not significant, the AF speed is average, the picture is pleasant (the bokeh at 75mm is especially pleasing), the greatest advantage is weight and compactness + internal focusing (compare even with the same sigma 24-70 with its 82mm "forehead", which I consider a direct competitor because they are almost in the same price range).
    Of the minuses, I can still single out the plastic case (there are no complaints about the assembly) and not a significant drop in sharpness in the corners (after using the native 24-70 it is noticeable).
    The colors from the lens are slightly warmer than from the native glasses, which I even like :)
    In general, the glass is very solid and 100% worth the money ...
    My copy with a built-in motor and the inscription “macro” on the box (it is not indicated anywhere on the lens itself).
    Judging by the inscriptions on the box, the lens was traveling from Japan to the USA and Canada.

    Hello. Thank you for the article. I just recently bought this lens and after the kit 18-55 I am not overjoyed with it. But I have a crop - Nikon D 200, in the premises I have little space to shoot them, but good shots are obtained in close-ups. What lens can you recommend for the convenience of shooting in rooms with limited space, preferably up to 30 tr. Thanks.

    It seems you can twist in autofocus mode, but somehow scary =)

    Gennady, help me figure it out. I bought this handsome man a week ago, but after three days of use I decided to check on BF and FF, it turned out that there is a BF, the sharp zone starts from the focus point. When photographing portraits, it hits the target - the eyes are like glass. There is an adjustment on the D7000, but the lens does not respond to the adjustments made. Tell me, return it to me or put up with it. How would you act in this situation. thanks

    (Nikon D3100) The most in my opinion the best staffer. As a wedding photographer, I shot 95% only to them. I change the camera to d600, the ion will work fine. On growth, as they say. I have Kitovsky and gather dust all the time.

      This is about focusing, not changing the focal length.
