I have a Tamron 90mm Macro lens that I bought off Ebay a few weeks ago and am getting fairly good results with it now (IMO). It has the "A" setting (using a Adaptall 2 pka mount) and is the previous version to the AF model.
My problem is that the focus ring is loose and not at all as stiff as my other manual focus lenses, it's nothing at all to worry about but I would like to tighten it if at all possible.
Can it be easily done?
Thanks.

Never seen macros of snails before, these are excellent!
You should take some more if they come out again, they are incredibly interesting, and as the others said, the translucency looks amazing

Nice rainy day here in Spain today and as soon as that happens all the snails seem to come and and play so here are some pics.
First one is more for scale than anything.
None have been cropped, just a bit of light processing.

So has the lady in the background got exactly the same photo but with you standing there with the camera instead of her?
