    I’m going ahead and buying that Tamaron!!
    Were you on a tripod? If so then you must be really very patient and lucky. Great Job.

  5. Anurag Anurag Says:

    Well I went to Tamron site but could not find the 900macro. I believe Its the 90mm Macro.

  6. Javier Gállego Says:

    Well,

    obviously the focal lenght is 90 mm, this is a typo, the working distance was about 7-8 centimeters! LOL

    Many thanks to all!
