Macro photography isn’t something I thought I would do often when I had my first DSLR, but after buying the 100mm macro lens I literally cannot stop taking macro photos.
I have to say that my other, cheaper, 70-300 Tamron VC etc. is also good for macro. The most striking difference is that at a smaller aperture, the Tamron has greater depth of field, though the ability to drop to F2.8 is great on cloudy days.
This photo is from the 100mm F2.8 (Canon), when I post a macro photo from the Tamron, I’ll indicate it.
