I have used Tamron 72-115 telephoto lens with macro with my Sone alpha. I
made use of this for photographing flowering shoots of taller trees, and
macro mode (brings closest distance from 1.5 m in normal mode to less than
a m in macro mode) for a better closeup of a a flower on a branch which was
nearby but not close enough to hold. But frankly I have never used it for
last more than an year since I bought 100 mm macro for my Canon 550D. For
trees I prefer Panasonic Lumix which gives 20 X zoom with 10 mega pixel
lens. I find it very covenient being very small and handy.
These are just personal experiences, not any expert comments.
