Could be of interest to all you Macro shooters...
It also explains the unprecedented sheer size and scope of reductions on macro lenses across all mounts these past 6-8 weeks.
Currently SRS are doing the Sigma 50mm f2.8 PK at £199 or £179 ex-demo,
also even better..the Sigma 70mm f2.8 PK for £249.
I've seen the Tamron 90mm PK for about £300, Pentax 100mm of course, for about the same price . If its technically possible to do 2:1 macro for less than about £400 then presumably we should be seeing a glut of these lenses from everywhere soon.
They seem to be increasing their quality but I prefer to buy better brands if I can
Why would anybody Encourage more Chinese crap if you can buy a Pentax 50mm macro, 100mm macro or a 90mm Sigma and similar Japanese lenses for the same cost?
All the Chinese manufacturers are trying to do , is to damage other countries industries with cheap labour manufactured goods.
Don,t buy Chinese goods if there are alternatives.
