There is a guy locally selling an old zx-30 with 3 lenses (including
this Tamron) for $150.
All I can find for 90mm Tamron macro autofocus lenses is one that
looks... pretty nice. I'll know more when I see it at lunchtime,
but if it's what I think it is, I've seen this lens alone go for $300.
The focal length is something I've been wanting a while for concert
work. Macro would be a bonus. I was wondering if anyone has used
this particular beast and has a "run and get it" or "run away!"
opinion.
Also: If anyone is interested in a zx-30 with a Pentax 28-80 and a
Sigma 70-210 zoom, I guess I'll have those available pretty soon for
a good price. :-)
I kept finding myself in situations where I couldn't get close enough
with my DFA 50 macro to get the shot I wanted. The DFA 100 wasn't in
my budget and I ended up with a Tamrnon SP 90/2.5. It's an adaptall 2
lens, and while there's nothing specifically wrong with it, it only
goes to about 1:2 in macro, so I haven't been using it as a macro
nearly as much as I expected, and it's so close in length to my FA 77,
that I find myself using it, with autofocus and f/1.8 anytime I'd need
a lens of about this length.
There's nothing really wrong with it, but I so rarely find myself in
situations where it's the lens of mine that I need.
