I have the 70-200mm 2.8 was wondering how much I would use the macro lens over what I got.
hopefully I find a macro lens in the next few months.
show us some pics after all this is the photo thread :D
You could try an extension tube set which will give your current lens some decent closeup capability.
Might be a good option if you don't think you'd get much use out of a true macro lens.

I have thought about those for years. I think i'll like a true macro tho. I had one years ago and it was fun.

thanks for the link tho. it's a nice back up for sure.

Hey @d2mini so looks like there are 3 versions or 3 remakes of the Tamron 90mm
I believe this is the 2nd version but with VC control is this the one you have and reviewed or the new one.

this looks like it barrel focus and not the extending tube like G1?
sorry to bug you but figgured you would have some feedback.

from the research i have done the Tamorn is better than the Nikon 105 and the sigma. good for them.

The one i had was from the early 2000's and no VC.
