That's Jim, high praise indeed for Tamron! I also like the fact that
at f2 it's a great portrait lens. It doesn't focus quite as fast as
the Nikon 60 on my D5000 but the difference is minimal. And for macro
I always use manual focus anyway, I find it easier and more accurate.
Just focus and lean in and out. I always figured if anybody saw me
shooting macro they'd think I'd had a little too much wine;-)
