Don, The Tamron 90 SP is a very good lens which now suits me also well on the *istD so I take it along all the time as macro/ portrait/short tele. You will find it is worth the money. Here is example taken with it of a butterfly:

(So what else's new?) I've been playing with a 90 macro Sigma and 50 with a tube. The 90's a bit long but it does give room for light/flash. I'll have to get both outside when it stops raining :-( and see how they do. I'm getting pretty lathered up about the Tamron 90 SP but it's way too pricey to buy and then not use much. Don
