In the test 90-105 mm macro lenses get the following points: >>Canon AF 100/2.8 - 9/10 >>Minolta AF 100/2.8 - 9/10 >>Nikon AF 105/2.8D - 7/10 >>Pentax AF 100/2.8 - 6/10 >>Sigma AF 105/28 EX - 9/10 >>Tamron AF 90/2.8 SP - 9/10 >>Tokina AF 100/2.8 AT-X 6/10 >>Pentax 100 mm performs well but needs stopping down and is expensive. >>All the best! >>Raimo >>Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho >> >>-----Alkuperäinen viesti----- >>Lähettäjä: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Vastaanottaja: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Päivä: 04. helmikuuta 2003 16:59 >>Aihe: Re: PDMLDSLR >> >> >>>Hi Mike, >>> >>>Do you have any access to tests of macro lenses? >>>I own Tamron manual SP 90/2.8 macro, I bought it when found that it >performed much better Pentax 100m in one Popular or Practical Photography if >I remember well and also beat Nikkor 105mm >>>I wonder if you ever used the lens.
