Hi, I was hoping that the friendly folks on the list could help me decide on a macro lens, roughly in the 100 mm range, prefer 1:1 but 1:2 okay. I would like to take casual portraits with it and an occasional macro shot. My main concern is optical quality.
I noticed that the Macro 100mm f/3.5 SMCP-FA Auto Focus Lens is fairly inexpensive new... any particular reason? Is optical quality good? I had been set on buying a 100f4.0 M. I use to have one and liked it as far as optical quality. I also noticed several Tamron 90 mm adaptall lenses. I have often read on the list that tamron AF are well respected. I would be fine without the AF capability. How are those? There seems to be several variations--anyone know anything about these? thanks dave ______________________________________________________________________________ Send a friend your Buddy Card and stay in contact always with Excite Messenger http://messenger.excite.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
