Butterfly.

I hope it is ok to post my first picture here even tho i didn´t take it with a macro lens.
Today i got my Tamron 70-300 VC and since it´s my first lens to go with my 40D body i just had to go out during lunchbreak and try it out.

excellent shot of a brimstone

and an aphid(?), good shot.

Great capture. Enjoy the new lens.

Excellent capture!
Great colors!

That's a beautiful shot.

I recently bought the same lens and have been quite pleased with it. I need to do some more experiments, but I have a suspicion that the autofocus is not quite perfect and that I get sharper shots manually focussing. I would be interested to know how you find it. The vibration control is amazing though.

Thank you all for the replies.
Idlefrog: I will get back to you in a couple of days whit my toughts on how this lens performs.
I´m heading to the harbor tomorrow so hopefully i´ll catch something to show in the forums.

nice capture.

Thats a beautiful capture! Enjoy the lens

Love it
