Medium-telephoto macro for APS-C Sony A-mount
This Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II 1:1 Macro lens is built for APS-C format DSLR cameras using the Sony Alpha and Minolta AF mount. It delivers life-size 1x magnification with a 60 mm focal length and a fast f/2 maximum aperture. The 35 mm equivalent focal length is 93 mm, making it suitable for close-up work and portrait shooting.
Straightforward mount with internal focus
The lens attaches directly to the Sony A-mount bayonet with no adapter required. An internal focusing mechanism keeps the overall length constant at 3.15 inches during focusing, so the front element does not rotate or extend. Autofocus is available and full-time manual focus override lets you fine-tune focus at any time without switching modes.
APS-C image circle limits full-frame use
The optical design covers the APS-C sensor format only; on a full-frame body the image circle will vignette heavily or require a crop mode. Minimum focusing distance is 9.1 inches with a 3.9 inch working distance at 1:1 magnification. The seven-bladed diaphragm stops down to f/22, but diffraction at small apertures will soften fine detail on high-resolution sensors.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the 1:1 magnification and 26.35° view are working after mounting on my Sony A-mount APS-C body?

The lens ships with front and rear caps; a 55 mm filter, lens hood, and any A-mount adapter for mirrorless bodies are sold separately.
