help needed with Tamron 70-300mm f4/5.6 DI LD Macro

[A.M.D.A.]

Welcome to PR.

If you are really into macro photography (like me), then I'd suggest you get a good macro lens, and optionally some "budget" telephoto/wide-angle, instead of the other way around. That 70-300mm lens is known for poorer image quality, awful CA's and softness. But if you are only going to shoot infrequently, or want to use the lens as a lens cap, then it should be OK. For serious work, get a dedicated macro lens or quality extension tubes. An example is the TAMRON 90mm F2.8 MACRO or Canon EF-S USM 60mm F2.8 60mm MACRO.

Check out the gallery here at PR to search for photos taken with the lenses in question, I see there are many posted already.

I bought my son this lens - it's a steal for the price.

I took it out for a test drive and posted the results here:
