I bought is for my macro shooting such as flowers and small insects. I like it because it is light and good sharpness. Talking about sharpness it is very good, but can not bit my old Nikon 55mm f3.5 which is little difficult use on newer digital cameras I have One Tamron 90mm f2.8 for older AF Nikon's which was hunting a lot, But the last one have build in AF motor in lens and it much better and quicker focusing. So I'm happy with and I would recommend to any one. Oh yes bay it from Hong Kong where it is $A200.00 cheaper.

The lens is great, exactly as specified in the description ( no nasty sunrises). Fantastic for macro shots and one of my favourites for portrait photography. The images are generally very sharp but because it had no IS the lens would not work for sports photography. A great lens and priced very cheaply! Great buy for a photographer at any stage!
As a beginner very amateur photographer in training, I was recommended this lens, by a friend, who said this macro is every bit as good as the 50mm but with a little extra range. And I am so pleased he gave me that advice. The Tamron is every bit as good, if not slightly better, than the canon lenses that I always buy. I would definitely recommend (and have done so!) this lens to anyone wanting a portrait lens.
A surprisingly good lens. clear images. great value for the enthusiast. The mechanism on Manual Focus is easy to use, its continuous and no infinity. Its a fickle using macro as the slightest out or movements and your out of focus. great for those looking to explore texture
Sharp lens. Good value for money. As soon as I received the lens started shooting anything small. Happy with the lens and I look forward to some great shots soon. AF hunts a bit in macro mode.
Pros: The lens is a great affordable macro and on a 40D with its 1.6 crop factor brings the image in close. It is clear to the edges and reproduces colours well. All in all well worth the money Cons: the focus is a bit noisy but that is about all I could find against this lens.
