Macro lens for APS-C Sony A-mount
The Tamron SP 60mm f/2 Di II 1:1 Macro Lens is built for Sony A-mount DSLR cameras with APS-C sensors. It delivers life-size 1:1 magnification and a 90 mm equivalent focal length. The fast f/2.0 maximum aperture supports shallow depth of field for portrait work. A minimum focusing distance of 9.1 inches provides a 3.9 inch working distance for close-ups.
Two LD elements and internal focusing
Two low dispersion glass elements suppress spherical aberrations to maintain sharpness from centre to edge. The internal focusing mechanism keeps the lens barrel from extending during macro use. A 7-bladed diaphragm produces smooth background blur when shooting at wider apertures. Full-time manual focus override allows instant adjustments without switching modes.
1:1 magnification at 60 mm focal length
The defining specification is the 1:1 reproduction ratio at a native 60 mm focal length. This combination lets you fill the frame with a subject the size of the sensor while keeping a 100 mm working distance. Buyers who need greater than life-size magnification or a longer native focal length for skittish subjects should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Will the aperture blades or internal focus motor need servicing after heavy macro use?
The 7-bladed diaphragm and internal focusing mechanism are built into the lens barrel; no user-serviceable parts are specified, so routine cleaning of the front element is the only expected maintenance.
At what magnification does the working distance become too tight for lighting?
At 1:1 life-size magnification the minimum working distance is 3.9 inches from the front element, which is the closest focus limit before subject contact.
Does the f/2 aperture cause noticeable focus breathing or heat during all-day shooting?
The fast f/2 maximum aperture and internal focusing design maintain a constant lens length, and no thermal or focus-shift issues are documented for extended use.
