My first real try with my Tamron 90mm prime macro
I don't use this lens enough
To be honest i haven't been shooting much at all, with work commitments
PP in NX
shot in aperture priority
1/40 @ f22 center weighted

F22 hasn't done you any favours here Warren with DOF - were you focussed on the droplet? Might be just the jpeg compression or the size of the image (even in the full size one) but it doesn't seem very sharp to me. Owning this lens, I know how good it is so something's gone awry here.

it could also be the wind i must admit it was hand held & took me many trys to get even this shot
And i must admit i haven used unsharp mask on it either
thanks for the quick & honest reply

I agree with Simon here Warren, this lens is a pearler, either camera movement, subject movement or the focus was off.

I would say camera & subject movement too
will try again in the morning day off for this chef
after the morning due but will use a tripod this time & not be lazy lol
thanks for your comments

i have found the tammie performs best up to about f13...say f16 if you really need the extra dof. after that there is far too much sharpness lost to diffraction.

It's not a bit of reflection on the red leaves that are causing distraction perhaps? Perhaps a different angle? Just a thought.
Love to see more from this lens though and what you think of it as I may look at it in the next few months.

You cannot handhold a 90 mm lens on a 1.5 x cropped sensor at 1/40 shutter speed and expect a sharp picture...well I can't anyway..

add wind to that list you started, shakey
