Thanks, I'm quite enjoying doing macro stuff, so much so I am thinking along the lines of a Sigma 180mm macro lens
Anyway, K10D and the first, third and fourth were done with the Vivitar 100mm F2/8 macro and the second and fifth were the Tamron 90mm F2/8 macro.
These were all done with the onboard flash but just 5 mins ago I managed to get a AF360 from Ebay for a decent price so hopefully I can get the lighting a bit better in future.

1195 to go then
Im quite happy to see them .. I think these are really good.
What do you think of your Tamron 28-200, I have one plus a Tamron 24-135 and was thinking of getting rid of the larger zoom in favour of the 55-300 Pentax now it is out.
Only thing is the Tamron has a reasonable 1:3 macro mode.

Plus the Pentax is £60, the Tamron is ..... lots more.
As mentioned, wide is not really my thing at the moment so anything in that range is not going to be regularly used.

I am just about to order a 55-300mm from SRS and am still mulling over the idea of a MKII 18-55mm.
I have the MK I which I bought off someone on this forum but I will include that with my K10D when I eventually sell it on.
Is the lens a worthwhile purchase, I have never used the MKI as I basically got stuck into macro from the word go but I will presumably need something wide at some stage (but I really don't want to be spending much cash on a lens that I will hardly use).
thanks.

Yes, I see what you mean about the backdrops .. gets a bit boring after a while although they all seem to land on that railing for some reason.
Another on the railing but perhaps a bit of a different angle .. and one completely different this time.
Vivitar 100mm F2/8 macro with Tamron 1.4X teleapapter attached this time.
1:1, no cropping.
Still waiting for a sensor cleaning kit and this morning the dog ate my rocketblower
