QUOTE(albnok @ Jan 15 2010, 05:09 PM) kfthoo: The 2 popular focal lengths, 85mm and 135mm on FF are also close to 60mm and 90mm on APS-C. So the 60mm F2.0 Macro or the 90mm F2.8 Macro would do great for portrait macro. Though you may want to put on a soft filter sometimes. thks for the advice.....does the wider aparture of the tamron 60mm macro may create a softer feel compare to the 90mm bro? i found that the price for the tamron 60mm macro is much more expensive than the 90mm one. if both of them don't have any significant difference in terms of sharpness....the 90mm would be a better option? |

QUOTE(albnok @ Jan 15 2010, 06:05 PM) kfthoo: The benefit of F2.0 is in the dark, so it can be used as a low-light lens. The 60mm as I remember is a lot sharper than the 90mm (the 90mm can still be used to some extent for portraits but the 60mm is a bit too sharp.) ok...thanks for the info.... albnok and achew too  This post has been edited by kfthoo: Jan 15 2010, 06:41 PM |
