Although I am a firm believer in using the same brand lenses as the manufacturer of your camera this Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro lens certainly proves me wrong. It is an extraordinary performing lens. These are some images I took of early morning dew on some Hosta leaves.

Nikon D610 and Tamron 90mm Di SP f/2.8 Macro Lens – 1/250 @ f/7.1

I wanted to show the detailed texture of these fern leaves so I decided to use the full frame sensor on the Nikon D610 to maximize the detail in the shadow areas. I got lucky because it was an overcast day so the light was soft and diffused. Please note although the aperture is set to f/7.1 the depth of field is still very shallow when using any sort of macro or close up lens combined with a full frame sensor. Just a little tip to keep in mind for when you go out and shoot macro.
