Which macro lens?

[GENO]

Oh wait, did some more digging and found reviews on the tamron 90mm... seems like it can compare to what the big guys can offer in terms of optics and yet costs as much as a 50mm from original maker... seems like a good buy, if you can still find one in the market...

tamron 90mm , AP have one pc.
;p

dude, don't get your hopes up... I am aiming for the 135mm STF before anything else...

The only thing now is to find an affordable pcs on ebay, cos the price new is a bit :sweat:

dun worry about it, i'm not getting my hopes high on u jumping into macro... i'm actually getting high hopes on BONEZ getting his D200!:bsmilie:

Out of these, I would take the Tamron 90mm Di..

KM 100mm $1100?

Tamron 90mm Di $ 600?

KM 200mm $2400?

Tamron 180mm Di $1200?

Sigma 105mm $750?

50~60mm not enough range.. Unless you're taking some really big insects

no kidding... :sweat:

How about the 50mm macros? Are they no good? Think they are cheaper right?

 

[jeryltan]

No KM mount

how about tokina 100mm 2.8?

No KM mount

I don't think he is talking about the Tokina 100mm Pro Macro ..... he is talking about the older Tokina 100mm Macro.

Anybody talking about taking insects? He can use a 50 - 60mm macro lenses for Re-copy purposes. BTW, a 50mm lens has higher resolution then a 100mm lens, it is better for recopy purposes.

 

[jeryltan]

WHat is recopy? You mean take ap hoto of another photo?
