Tamron SP 90 Macro DI

[woollyback]

Folks,

I've got one of these coming, primarily for my daughter to use.

What should I expect from it and anything to know about / avoid with it.

This will be first exposure to macro for me so any tips will be great.

Cheers

Rob

Hi,

I have the lens and love it, it is very sharp, here is a link to some shots of mine taken with it in natural light.

Well it is a very good lens I considered it before i got 105mm sigma macro but i got such a deal on the sigma thats the only thing for me that split the 2 apart. I would post some pics with the sigma but that won't help :)

Thanks folks, lens arrived and in my daughters bag.

Early results promising http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=654027but it's trickier than it seems.

Thanks for taking the time to comment
