Di: Digitally Integrated Design, is a designation Tamron puts on lenses featuring optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras. This lens employs an IF (Internal Focusing) system that maintains the overall length of the lens during focusing. Uses two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements that effectively compensate for chromatic aberration. Provides high-contrast, outstanding image quality and a soft out-of-focus background effect. Incorporates an AF/MF one touch switchover mechanism built into the focus ring(for Canon & Nikon only). Super performance series provides high performance through outstanding design specifications. Features the new FEC (Filter Effect Control) function that enhances operational ease of Polarizing Filter use. The new Filter Effect Control is designed to rotate the filter to the desired position while the hood is attached. This is accomplished by turning the FEC ring that in turn rotates the portion of the filter mount

Price vs Quality = Worth it,
I am using the lens with a Nikon D80 Camera.
As its been reviewed by others, it is a well-made lens. If you don’t mind the extra weight (usually you will use the tripod so I don’t think the weight would be an issue), this lens is highly recommended. Just be aware that the lens is a little bit slow when it’s in AF mode. I mostly use the manual focus when doing macro so that was not an issue for me.
I have tried Tamron before and after using the 180mm Macro, I could safely say Tamron is one of the best companies when it comes to lenses. When you weigh the quality verse the price, Tamron differently would be a winner. No wonder most of its lenses are award winners.
Thumbs up 🙂

|Excellent tele-macro lens,
This is a superb lens, with a good solid build and a smooth manual focus. Because it’s made from polycarbonate rather than metal, it’s also surprisingly lightweight. The tripod collar is easy to remove but solid. The filter effect control is a nice convenience.
The automatic focus is not particularly fast, but this is not much of a disadvantage since most photographers use manual focus in macro work anyway.
Highly recommended.

|Great close up lens,
This lens is amazing, I am a commercial shooter specializing in medical, and have been a pro since 1980. My philosophy is real simple, buy the best lens for the purpose, and the money is an important part of this. This lens is sharper then the Nikkor 85 mm 2.8 shift lens, ( I have owned 2 of these lenses). Actually sharper then any Nikkor lens I have owned.
