Thanks

~~~ Al how was your Tamron 90mm f/2.8 MACRO perform with XE1? If you have time please show us some of your work with this lens

Me and my wife are shopping for a better MACRO lens, or might try Raynox DCR-250 Super Macro lens

The Tamron adaptall (a manual version of their macro lens designed to fit/adapt to any type of camera with the appropriate adaptall mount) is superb. razor sharp with smooth bokeh. A joy to use and the perfect size/weight for my Fuji camera. You also always know what the DOF is since the aperture is adjusted on the lens.

I use it mostly for flower and the occasional bug shot. Below are a few, the flower shots are between f/2.8 and f/4 to get that sweet bokeh, and the insects mating is around f/5.6 or f/8? All hand held
