Knockout dragon fly shots. Lens envy strikes, thank you Jeff. Last week I agonised between the Tamron 90 macro and a Nikon 85 f1.8. The Nikon won out because the flyball was at a low-light indoor venue on Saturday. How far is the lens from the subject when you get these insect shots? There is a good macro lens on our Lumix FZ30 but it needs to get too close-in for insects to stay put. I love the new Nikon lens for its sharpness, but I do wish it was a macro also. And I don't think it beats your Tamron for sharp so maybe I made the wrong decision. 1.8 is nice though, the 1.4 would be even better but the price out of reach.
