Kiron 105mm f/2.8 macro

Pros: Mechanical and optical construction

Cons: Lacks autofocus for on-the-fly photos

Opinion: I've had it for 5 years, for the Kiron I sold the excellent sigma 180/3.5 because it couldn't stand the comparison on sharpness. The latter is extreme at focal up to F13 then becomes normal ie good as other macros. Used on reflex canon is a pain because with the adapter without lens you lose infinity, while with mirroles (I have an R) it becomes all easier. I built the tripod ring, and I can't give up the comfort of it anymore. The focus with the dial is a unique enjoyment for accuracy; on the image enlarged to 10X you can see those details that other more expensive optics you dream of. Of course there are more emblazoned macro optics of which the photographers on duty fill their mouths, but the tests, in my opinion, are done on the livery of known butterflies, not on the "tulips". Used as an average canvas, from good results in the average of other average dated canvases. While used in the specific field... There's none for anyone. I thank Guz and Mgnax for recommending me well.

Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD

Pros: nondescript

Cons: nondescript

Opinion: I purchased the lens last year on it right away (used) by a Sicilian gentleman who then would not feel right to cancel the sale. The lens is the result of incompatible canon: 5d2, 6d, 30d, 40d, that is grafted perfectly but by mistake and it clicks (dry contacts). It works instead of 600d and 1000d. Brought in assistance through RCE (kind and helpful) I was made an estimate of more than 200 Euros, so I decided to let it go greet gandy
