bqq100 January 30, 2015 January 30, 2015 Got a Tamron 90mm macro lens for x-mas and finally decided to give it a quick try, here are a couple of the better shots. Handheld on a D7000 @ f/8 and 6400 ISO, quick tweaks on an older verion of CameraRAW. Next time I'll bust out the tripod and shoot at f/11 and also try some top down shots. Oh and maybe try stocking my tank with some more interesting subjects!

bqq100 January 30, 2015 Author January 30, 2015 Sweet shots, nice lens! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thanks! The tripod will help a ton, not that you need it though =P Very nice photos! Thanks, with the super high ISO i was able to keep things relatively sharp while handholding. Hoping the tripod will let me shoot with some more DOF without being a shaky mess! Cool coral with that cleaner shrimp, what is it? Darth Maul Porites from piper. It's kept it's color but really hasn't grown in the last year. http://wamas.org/forums/topic/61267-rare-darth-maul-porites-fs-at-meeting-or-local-pickup/
howaboutme February 5, 2015 February 5, 2015 question for bbq... are you able to get your lens open to 2.8 at 1:1? i have heard that 2.8 is only from ~10' to infinity and not close up. At that point, it jumps down to 5.6 ish or something....would love to get your thoughts. do you have the DI or non-di?

At that point, it jumps down to 5.6 ish or something....would love to get your thoughts. do you have the DI or non-di? I have the DI version without VC. I just tested it and you are right, at 1:1 it's f/5.6, and about 12 feet to get 2.8. I hadn't noticed that before, but isn't really a big deal for me. I'll mainly be using this for 1:1 or near 1:1 shooting where the DOF is so shallow I wouldn't want to shoot at less than f/8 anyway. Having only taken a handful of shots with the lens, I'm quite happy with it so far. I too would like more info on the lens...can you provide a little more details of the exact lens? Here is the exact lens, although mine was bought used so I didn't feel as bad about the price tag on a lens I won't use a ton http://www.amazon.com/Tamron-AF-90mm-2-8-Di/dp/B00021EE4U
