Have you tried any macro tests with the 55-300 yet? I'd like to replace my Tamron 70-300 with it eventually, but I don't want to lose the ability to do basic macro. I'm not looking for a world beating, award winning macro lens. I just like that the Tamron does a pretty decent job of it on top of being a very affordable telephoto lens. I took these test pics of flowers with my Tamron after I got it last week, I was surprised at how well it did; especially just handholding in low light.

Edit: I just went back to the first page and noticed the red flower pics you took after the squirrel. Disregard my question.
