Hey folks,
I'm buying a 55mm-300mm Nikkor f/4.5-5.6G ED VR zoom for my D5100. The next lens I'd like is a decent macro and the Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro is on my list. I know the Tamron is a zoom but I've read it's not as good as the Nikkor, nor does it have the benefit of VR.
Is that a reasonable purchase, the Tamron for dedicated (occasional) macro use or should I look at another lens?
Cheers,
Bill
