I'm using Canon 400D, want to get a Macro Lens, don't know which one is good. How about Tamron SP AF90mm F2.8 Di Macro?
想影花花草草蟲蟲、仲有Macro lens 可否用來影人像?

Thanks, thanks.

272E good for portrait too! the bokeh is very circular

C hing,

90mm Macro 放在400 D上,等如144mm ,影人距離要遠一點, 室內不甚理想. 請考慮清楚. 60 或70mm似乎好用旳.

you can also consider using extension tubes.
i took these photos with a 50mm + kenko extension tubes.

im just trying to show you the power of extension tubes so that you can have one more choice. my technique isnt that good.

uSE "extension tubes" can become macro ma?

[clarice629]

if you use extension tube + any lens, you have to be closer to the object to take a shot but everything will be magnified. so YES, can be macro.

extension tube = poor men's macro.

only problem is you have to be very very close to the objects. a real macro lens allow you to take macro shots from a distance.

but i still prefer extension tubes!!!

鴨記富利有cheap cheap extension tube ..........no good ...... it havn't Automatic !!!

[petercyc]

You may try Kanko extension tubes (auto focus), but the price is much expansive (around $9xx).

BTW, I usually take macro with manual focus

[400dslr]

Agree !!!

I always use 400D + 大白+ Kenko extension tube !!!

Canon 180mm f/3.5L is a good lens but relatively expensive, heavy and big. If I didn't have it already I would go for the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS now. Here is a picture I took yesterday with the 180mm right shortly before sunset.
