Hello all ,
Hope everybody is o.k. and getting enough birding time in.
Firstly i would like to thank DOC and REZMOLE for their advise that they gave to others , that helped in the purchase for me of the Tamron 200/500.
Many thanks for your indirect assistance its a great lens.
So my problem is this i also have a Sigma 70/300 mm f4-5.6 apo dg macro with a ratio of 1:2 which i use mostly for macro work, but would now like to up-grade to a dedicated macro lens. Tamron 90 mm or 180 mm macro lens both have ratio's of 1:1. Sometimes at 300mm with the Sigma i just could not get close enough.
If for instance the camera body is mounted on a tripod with static object at say 1 metre and a photo was taken at max magnification how do they compare , the ratio of 1:1 of the 90mm and 180mm to 1:2 of the 300mm ????
Hope this makes sense,
Thanks Mick..
