Yes, that was the style of new diners a while back, but retro is in now.
The Millburn Diner is in Short Hills, a very affluent suburb of New
Jersey populated mostly by people who work in New York City, many on
Wall Street. It is also a downtown diner, and near the local regional
theater.

IMHO, autofocus on a macro lens is ridiculous.
Not if you use it for other purposes, other than Macro i.e. short tele, long
portrait lens. The Tamron has the benefit of a focus limiter, whereas the DFA
100/2.8 does not IIRC. One of the reasons I bought Tamron.

I'm a bang for the buck kind of guy and I spent this past winter
wheeling dealing to accumulate some nice macro gear on the used
market.
I'm quite sure that the Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP A/M 1:1 Macro is a
GORGEOUS lens. However, with three daughter's weddings in two years'
time span, I have to

I am certainly glad that you are physically sound enough to use a manual focus
macro (or any MF lens at all). There are those of us where being visually or
physically disabled have severe problems with MF lenses. I suppose it might be
helpful if you looked beyond beyond yourself before

In fact the Tamron 90 is somewhat legendary as a portrait lens. But
the AF on the AF version is so slow as to be useless for anything that
you can't reliably track in manual focus. Long focus throws are the
bane of AF performance and a requirement in macros.

I'm a newbie on the forum. Have been using Pentax off an on since buying my
first Pentax Spotmatic back in 1968. Made a regrettable change to Nikon in the
mid-70s and found the bodies to be a bit more prone to breaking than my

Greetings back to you, Jeffery, and welcome to the group.
I have been using Pentax cameras since 1966, so I have a little

new K-7, and share some images with us.
