I love the off camera strobe in number 1. Very interesting shadows. I can't wait to get mine next week!

We dont have many freakishly poisonous bugs here. Much to cold in the winter. Closest poisonous creepy crawlers are the rattlers about 45 min south. And no freaking way I am every going to shoot them with a camera. I have looked at that Tamron and I think will be whatever better deal I can get. I have about a 800$ budget but I want a SB-600, a macro lens that would dble for portraits and a CPF. Only thing that I wonder is would I be better with the Nikon for resale if I get bored of the lens.
Buy used and you get rid of the resale drop and you can afford more. I saw a Sigma 150mm f2.8 for sale on another forum not long ago for something like $525....Great deal and would be cheap enough to allow you to grab an SB-600 as well.....of course, I've seen some incredible shots with the T90 as well, so either way you'd be set for sharp images. I'd just keep your eyes open on the used market for awhile unless you're in a big hurry.
...even without venemous (not poisonous...just fyi) bugs, the longer length makes it easier to keep from scaring them away. Very helpful when shooting skittish bugs in my opinion.
Wonderful as always!
As for exposure, do you use bare flash, or use a diffuser on the flash? I, too, have gotten addicted to macro since picking up my 105 2.8 and will be getting an SB-600 soon. Wondering how others as good as yourself are doing things with external flash + macro.
Thanks,
Mark
Thanks for the response!
If the problem with the flash is that its on-camer and too far away, why not take it off camera and move it closer?
