Tamron 60mm Macro Lens


Friday I purchased a macro lens.  Got a good deal (I think) from Rockbrook Camera (discounted price and hefty rebate).  Have been looking at Macro lenses for shooting flowers.  New lens is Tamron 60mm f/2 Macro 1:1.  Photo taken hand-held.  I can see that using my tripod will help for macro shots.

Looking forward to getting out to shoot some flowers to check out the lens more.  Note: The color is not vivid as the tree is covered with road dust.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i  f/5.6 at 1/500 sec   ISO 100  60.0 mm  Processed from RAW with Photoshop Elements 9.

  1. Great shot, Tom! I've taken several shots with this lens and love it for not only its macro but also its portrait ability, too. And thank you for your business with Rockbrook Camera!
