Magic Wings, So. Deerfield, Mass. Nikon D90, f/4.8. ISO 1000, Tamron 90mm Macro</p>

<p>@AndyL I like to shoot casual stuff -- parties, people, animals, street scenes, abstract stuff. My kit 18-105 is good but big and heavy and I'd like something fixed and light for walking around with shooting stuff. The 90 is good for closeups but I have to get too far away from people I want to shoot. I'd like to be able to shoot people at a table at a party, or in a room or walking on the street. I could do this it seems with the 90mm if I was a block away.</p><div></div>

<p>Okay, so I was excited to get my Tamron 90mm macro lens and have been happy with the results. I was the shorter 50mm that was recently released because I'd like to do more portraiture work and street photography. Then today I learned of the new 40mm and now I'm wondering which I should get next.<br>

Is the best way to tell which one you'd like best just to get one and try it out?<br>

Thanks!</p><div></div>

<p>I also love the shots. I'm in the market for a macro lens but I'm on a budget with a Nikon D90 and considering the Sigma 70-300 but I'm not sure if that will allow me to do this type of closeup work, which is one thing I'd like to do.</p>
