Originally posted by DonovanJM I appreciate the advice. I have read those along with the reviews for the Tamron and the Sigma and they all say good things! Which I guess is why I'm having such a difficult time.
I don't think I've ever had a bad macro. They're all sharp.
The Tamron has a plasticky feel(but not cheap) which I didn't mind as it felt a little lighter than the Sigma if I remember correctly.
The Sigma depending on which version can have the finish peel and flake. Build feels solid.
I currently have the 100WR that I picked up in the used board for a little over $300 and imo it outclasses the other two with it's feel and finish.
I personally like shiny well made things so the premium is worth it.
A focus limiter could be useful for non macro situations.
