Hi Andrew

I bought a 300/5.6 SP last year at the same time as I bought my 4Ti. Funnily
enough I paid about $115US for the lens, and $175US for the 4Ti. The lens worked
pretty well, and test shots were fine, but I sold it because I reckoned that I
would not use it enough. Subsequently I have changed my mind, and currently own
a Tamron 350/5.6 mirror with 2X extender, a Tamron 60-300/3.8-5.4 Macro, and a
Zuiko 85-250/5. The 60-300 has very useful macro capabilities to 1:1.55, but
lacks a tripod mount. Good for hand-held butterfly pictures though.

mvh / regards

I've got a Tamron SP 300/5.6 Macro (not a mirror) which I haven't got
around to using yet but it is lightweight (58mm filter) and has the matched
SP doubler. Never seen the SP Macro version before and Bob Monaghan's 3rd
Party site doesn't list it. I got it literally the week before my Zuiko
300/4.5 so it got shelved. Anyone used one? Worth keeping?
