I am in the market for a macro lens for my Pentax DS. The Tamron 90mm F2.8 gets great reviews and I will probably go that way, is there compelling reasons to look at say the Tamron 180mm or the 100mm Pentax macro. The Sigmas do not seem to be very competative, does anyone think otherwise? :/ I have been using manual tubes but want more, should I go for auto tubes to go with my AF lenses?

Hi NN,
I use a Pentax 50mm F2 lens with the tubes, great thing about that is the manual focus ring has a very fine adjustment, maybe I will get that 135-400 or 50-500 instead and continue with the tubes, I have seen some AF tubes at a reasonable price so perhaps I can play with one of those on my AF lenses.
Cheers.
Pete

I personally own the Tamron 90mm F2.8. It is absolutely outstanding. Everything the reviews say is true.

Decisions, decisions, went and bought a rotary hammer drill instead.

It's not a really, really big one (1050 Watts) but it will do for some nice medium size jobs that I have coming up.
