Tamron 90mm and SB600 arrived earlier this week (good service from Poon), first chance for a few shot was this morning.

This gear will be fun :D.

Just noticed I had the camera on ISO 800 :oops: will have another go later. These are straight out of the camera.

Yeah, its a great lens. Especially happy with the bokeh in the top shot. Have wanted a macro set up for a long time - couldnt resist the low prices through Poon

beautiful shots, the 2nd could do with more DOF though. It is a great lens, I have been tempted to get this lens for a long time, now with access to Poon pricing it is even more tempting.

Classic lens, doubles well for portraiture.
