Great stuff !
Relief i cant see any purple things on the photos.
Yes of course i use tripod all the time.
Your 90mm f8 2sec ISO100 and 90mm + XT looks like macro distance to me.
With 35 mm i dont know...u could have shot more closely hadnt u? or is that the maximum distance ?
i mean so close as with the tamron +XT
Btw why is 35mm f8 lighter than f22 ? isnt it vice versa ?
The goldwatch is also great thanks shadeless
It seems sharper with 35mm to me, what do u think ? but the tamron is also sharp enough i guess,
at least sharper both than my kit lens.
Ill be glad to post some photos (with my new lens hopefully whichever it is)
it will be a step forward as dave said before
Great helps around here for a newbie like me
Thanks for your time and effort guys !

Thanks for all your inputs guys, really appreciated.
It seems that for this kind of photos 90 mm tamron would be a better choice.
What is in my mind at the moment.
In the link (thanks Dave) someone wrote that
>The Tamron 90 (which I have) has the purple fringe thing, very noticeable on jewelry as I have found out.<
...
I have almost decided to buy tamron but confused again..
Main reason why id like to buy a new macro lens, shooting things like rings necklaces gemstones etc.
These things are really tiny, about 3 to 10mm diameter.
Landscape or any other thing just would be optional.
That sigma 70 macro lens is 40 % more expensive than tamron or pentax lenses.
Is that lens so good worth that 40 % ?
K20d and love it !
Yes please, if u can take some photos of shiny metal things would be great ! tell me how is going with purple fringing.
(Well at least if i buy the 35 mm ill stay loyal to the pentax brand.)

Yes, have a light tent and 2x 5500k continuous lights.
1 side 90 mm > more distance for shooting, moving camera and lighting for better composition
other side 35mm > better dof
now iam stuck and standby...
nice shots LeDave, especially that cake.
what is p&s pardon me

Hi guys !
Need some help please.
After six months using my kit lens 18-55 ALII ive decided to buy a new lens. (not in a hurry as u see)
It will be used for shooting jewelries and minerals, thats the main reason.
Though i like shooting landscapes as well, maybe the 35 mm better for that purpose, i dont know really...
At my local store these lenses have the same price.
SMC Pentax-DA 35mm F2.8 Limited Macro
Tamron 90mm f/2.8 SP Di Macro
What do u think ?
thanks\peter

Hi guys, thanks for your nice posts.
Here are some examples that ive taken recently.
Had to downsize, the problem is still visible i think.
What i think its quite good in the middle, but at the edges blurred, not in focus,
shaky maybe, i dont know...
SR off with tripod, same results.
Ill try it later what you have suggested and post back the results.
Thanks, Peter

Hi everyone !
First of all iam totally amateur in photography. (a few months ago i even didn't know what aperture means)
I bought a k20d with 18-55 mm kit lens in spring this year.
I like shooting textures walls, rusty surfaces etc., but my problem is that
every shot is blurred, maybe not in focus at the edges at full size.
Tripod is always there.
This is because iam doing something wrong with the aperture or this is because of the quality of the lens ?
i just want it to be sharp focused everywhere.
Don't have any other lenses at the moment.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,H.Peter
