Hi

Anyone out there who's got some advice and tips on using this macro lens.
I've figured out the aperture ring bit!! I'm using a K10:

About the same, f8 at the shorter focal lengths and f11 from 220mm up to 300mm, i.e. 2 stops from max is a good guide.
Thanks very much for that.very helpful.I'll give it a go next summer!!!

Hi,
I know most lens have a sweet spot eg my Pentax 50-200 lens is f/11.Does anybody know what the best "sweet spot" for the Tamron 70-300mm lens is?

to shoot the moon go for ISO100 or lower,fast shutter speed and full zoom.Obviously use a tripod and spot metering and focussing.Keep taking shots until you get it right!!!It will either be too dark or too bright,adjust accordingly..good luck

During the holidays the children get bored,fact!Even more so when it rains which it does a lot of here in Wales.So here's an idea...........if you have a Wii down load some of your photo's onto a Sd card and insert into the Wii.Click on photo's and follow instructions for the photo gallery.Infact get the kids to do it as they're quicker.They will then have hours of fun distorting pictures of themselves!Perhaps the best one is to do a jigsaw of one of your pictures.You can do a simple 6 piece upto a 48 piece,the latter took me 30 minutes to do!! anyway give it a go.pb
