Hi Boris the Tamron 90mm SP 2.5 manual lens is my favorite lens now for portrait and macro shooting. I use a 49mm Pentax Takumar metal hood with it and it looks very good ;-) The Pentax A50mm macro is a very nice lens too.
Both of them are highly recommended and you should find them second hand for a good price, just be patient. greetings to all of you (back from lurking to chat mode) Markus Maurer >>----- Original Message ----- >>From: "Boris Liberman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> > >> >>Nope, the A50 is a new toy and I'm keeping it. >> >>As others have said the Tamron 2.5 SP is also cheap and *very* good.
