david_tolcher Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I recently replaced my 200mm micro nikkor (AI version) with a Tamron 180mm F3.5 macro lens. Very pleased with the results as you can see from the attached. Lens is very sharp, nice out of focus details. Taken on a D100 at 200ASA at around F5.6 / F8.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric friedemann Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 That's a nice shot you wouldn't have wanted to attempt with a 50mm macro. We have had the Tamron 180mm in my store for a few months now and I've played around with it some. It is a sweet lens, particularly for the price. The thing that strikes you is the sharpness and contrast you see through the finder before you even take a pik. I would certainly chose the Tamron over a non-ED 200mm Micro Nikkor.

alex_lofquist Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I had heard that Adders were endangered species. When Noah released them from the ark, he told them to "Go forth and multiply". But they couldn't because they were adders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnabdas Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 This looks to be a very good lens. Could you post a 100% crop of some detailed part if possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
