I'm well aware of that thanks, and certainly didn't read every post in full, a brief look was sufficient to make me feel the need to post my comment.

How lucky you are to see such a bird, and well done on the captures. Over here we only get three species of Woodpecker, the Greater Spotted (pictured), Green Woodpecker and the Lesser Spotted, the latter being as rare as Rocking Horse poo.

I've had and have macros by Canon , Nikon , Pentax and Tamron . The major difference ; build quality . I've had and used my Tamron for more than ten years and it's never failed .
I urge you though to focus manually for any close to subject shooting . be it for macro or portraiture .
Would I rcommend it to a friend ? ..................

Oh, thanks, jonnyd. There are two versions of this lens. Be sure and get the new version designated with the Di(digitally integrated) and SP(super performance). Also, be sure and rent one first, because tamron lenses could be inconsistent from copy to copy.
It is highly recommended by Photozone. Here read this review:

By coincidence I had already read the Photozone review, they clearly rate the lens highly, and I will be sure to get the DI version. With regard to renting, if I rent one first in the UK I'm guessing that would already be a 'used' one and so when I purchase it would be a different lens anyway? Or have I got that wrong?
Thanks again friend.

I like #1 with the color and reflection of the flower but the junk in the back is distracting...any way to crop itout and keep the good stuff?
I agree about the 2nd shot...gorgeous but not really clear

For me the original is better, the water just looks more natural. Okay, the moss is a bit intrusive, but it's a great shot overall.

They certainly are sharp, and I took a look at the link shot, impressive. I guess I have a pretty steep learning curve to travel lol. Thanks for posting.

Hi guys, thinking of getting the Tamron 90mm macro lens, just wondering if anyone has experience of it. Read several reviews and the consensus does seem to point to it being a good lens, but I'd appreciate any comments from people on here as I know I can trust them.
Thanks.
Thanks.
