I recently rented the Tamron 60mm f/2 macro lens and I love it! Autofocus seems a little slow, but I haven't noticed any other set backs. This may be normal for how close I am when the slow autofocus occurs. I've just been using manual focus for really close shots. Anyway, I've always told myself that I will only buy Canon lenses and aim for top quality. The Canon 60mm is a f/2.8 and is actually cheaper than the Tamron listed above. So my question is, is there a reason I should not buy the Tamron? I like having that extra stop for indoor and low light conditions. And as far as I can tell, it's really sharp! I'm just nervous about purchasing third party lenses.
