Mike, the Tamy is a manual one is it? Because I see MF at the end.
Obviously I know you prefer to use manual focusing even with the Pentax one, but which one do you prefer? what are the main differences between those two? The tamron also looks to be a great one.
Yes Amin, the Tamron is manual focus which I do prefer, infact I only use the Pentax lens in manual as well. To be honest there is no real difference between the 2 lenses apart from AF on the Pentax, I have yet to see a bad macro lens. I traded the Pentax lens for my Vivitar 100mm f2.8 manual focus but miss it so much I am looking for another and then will probably sell the Tamron or the Pentax.Mike, the Tamy is a manual one is it?

Now all I need to hear from you is say that you took it handheld and I am going to find a corner in the garden to scream and vent my jealousy off
You know it was handheld Amin, I don't use a tripod Now all I need to hear from you is say that you took it handheld and I am going to find a corner in the garden to scream and vent my jealousy off
Was taken with my Tamron Adaptall 2 90mm f2.8 MF macro lens.
This was taken with the Pentax D-FA 100mm macro.

I'll guess that 1,7/500 MM was hand held ?
The last one of the first batch (crop from the previous one?) shows some heavy greenish fringing.
I assume it the Raynox, who is responsible for that?
Martin.
Itchy trigger finger there I think ... obviously 50mm
Yes I presume the Raynox was responsible for the green though.
