Only problem with the Tamron SP 90 is that you need a 1:1 adapter or
2x SP TC to get 1:1. Otherwise it's a superb lens as both a macro and
a short tele. I'm rather fond of mine.

Only the older, adaptall, f2.5. The later, f2.8, autofocus version goes to 1:1.
To be exact, the f2.5 in Adaptall-2 or AF versions goes to 1:2, the
f2.8 in Adaptall-2 and AF versions goes to 1:1 (yes, both exist in AD2
and AF forms, but the f2.5 AF is rare and the f2.8 in AD2 is extremely
rare). We were talking about the f2.5 version here.
This has been chewing at me for about a week. I knew the 2.8 was
available manual focus - but not, afaik, ADII. Plenty of pictures out
there of alleged ADII lenses but they all seem to be ordinary mounts to
me. But then ....

lenses (1996) by the look of it.
The 2.5 AF? Never heard of, never mind seen, it. But now I have.
