Everything I but is used it seems!
I bought a used Tamron 90mm f2.5 macro with a 1:1 extension tube about a
year ago. This is the older first version with a 49mm filter size. The lens
focuses down to 1:2 without the extension tube. The tube can be hard to find
sometimes. The lens is very well built mechanically and quite excellent
optically. The sample I bought had a couple of dings the focusing barrel but
otherwise not too bad. Actually, this particular model of Tamron lens has
quite a good reputation and I can recommend it without hesitation.
