August 14

First shot with new lens.
Well not really the first shot, actually the thirteenth, but the first one I'm posting.
I received my Tamron SP AF 180mm f/3.5 DI Macro lens yesterday. I've been wanting a longer macro for some itme.
this is a heavy lens so it's going to be hard to do all macros hand held with this like I did with my 90mm.
After a few shots I can say I think I'll like this lens. Really smooth manual focus.

The most fragant rose in my experience was a yellow rose!

I'd be VERY happy Walter... super clear, great color tones... man, you got something great. And... in your hands... I know we're about to see masterpieces. If this is only an appetizer so to speak... wow, I can't wait to see you really cooking with it. A superb shot.
