great GREAT lens. Tried last night with my 2 year old and here are some results. I love how sharp the focus areas are and how incredibly creamy and delightful the out of focus areas areas. The lens feels great in my hands and it's a great compliment for my canon 7d. Looking forward to using this glass for portrait and DSLR film scanning

Lens comes in a variety of formats, Canon, Nikon, etc. Mine was for a Sony A-Mount (SLT-A77v) camera. The Sony version is a little different as far as switching from manual to AF but its not a big deal. First I went the way of extension tubes, magnifying diopters, etc. Those will work but they don't measure up to a dedicated macro. I spent a lot (a really lot) of time reading reviews and comparing the various options for macro lenses and was down to either this one or the Sony 100mm f/2.8 that was more $$$. I decided on the Tamron because of the macro pictures I saw primarily on Flickr. The images were sharp, good contrast, and no apparent aberrations I could tell anyway.
The lens didn't disappoint. The clarity of the macro is pretty amazing. I've uploaded a couple of pictures to the customer images part including a moth with amazing detail. Very happy with the lens and would recommend for anyone wanting a great macro capable lens.
