Hi all, the insect season is abot to begin... last yeaars I have used rather medium format for macro shots, but now there's a time to get good macro lens for my Z-1p. Sigma lens prices have lowered here lately (Pentax prices stand firm...). I want this lens also for "normal" photography, so the AF is needed. The cheap solution would be Pentax FA 100/3.5, but the 1:2 ratio is not satisfying for me. FA100/2.8 is absolutely ok, but pricey. Sigma 105 Macro is about 1/3 cheaper, but what's about the performance and reliability ? Tamron 90mm - seems to be great optically, but has strange filter thread (55mm) and I do not like the handling. Market of used Pentax lenses is rather non-existing here and I do not want to buy lens like this without trying it first.
What should I do ? How big are the real differences between Tamron 90, Sigma 105 and Pentax FA100/2.8? BR, Margus Tallinn, Estonia
