Hi guys,

I am in a quandary....

On fleabay there is a Tamron SP AF 90mm f2.8 Di that has "light fungus speckles" and its on for £90...

Is it worth the risk for £90?

Yes.... theyre rather large... was using a cokin 8 point star silter.

But...

It did add a cracking effect to the first image which i like!

Thank you... yes there is post work on them but i try and do the vast majority of it on the camera. First, second and fourth are five exposures merged.

I spent a nice and quiet afternoon in a church with some filters and tripod...

You originally said you wanted a fisheye. The Pentax is a fisheye, the Sigma is not a fisheye. Both have their uses.

Ahhhh.... is it just a super wide angle?

Comment by Spad posted on Fisheye and Macro Lenses... which one?!?!? at 27/06/2022 - 20:19

Hey guys... thank you for all the help, advice and recomendations...

I am gonna look at getting either the Pentax 10 - 17mm or Sigma 10 - 20mm F3.5 - I thought about the cheaper 10- 20 at F4 -5.6. If I am honest, think I will go for the Sigma as I'd like the 3.5 across the board.

As for the Macro... I am gonna get a set of tubes to use with my DA 50mm F1.8 and also looking at the Sigma 105mm, I would like the bigger Sigma or Pentax but I simply cannot afford them.

Whan I get them I will post my results!

I've driven one of those in the past. They were taken off the North Sea after the accident, (the brights steel connecting shaft corroded.) Long story. Had a slight wump-wump sound that replicated itself in the cockpit - bouncing a tad.

A tough aircraft, just not fit for the North Sea and the salt laden atmosphere below 2,000 feet.

Oops, forgot to say, loved the photographs...

There was me happily snapping away at bees and foxgloves.... then the peace and quiet was epically broken by this bugger flying down the valley!!

Good job I had my second camera rigged to go... after all... I was hoping one would show up!

I went down to Derwent Water yesterday in the nice weather. I ended up with tripod and flashguns out....

I picked Foxgloves and Bumblebees!

Last image is my set up....
