This afternoon, my son(16 and becoming MF-addicted) and i went for some dragonfly-hunting. Where i chose the modern approach with AF-lenses (well, AF most switched off), my son chose the Tamron 103A 3.8/80-210 which has a very usable minimum distance of 90cm. Ideal for shy insects.
This is what he managed with the EOS350D and the 103A

Very nice, your son's a natural, I'd say.
Nice thing about most Tamron zooms I've run across is they really do a respectable job with their macro settings -- "macro" wasn't just a sales gimmick with Tamron with their adaptall lenses. They took it seriously. As your son's photos so aptly demonstrate. _________________ Michael

On behalf of my son i want to thank you all for the positive comments.
Our Tammy 103A came as an extra with the Tamron CT300 that was the reason for buying a couple of lenses.
First pleasant surprise of the 103A was the build quality, everything works as smooth like the lens was built yesterday.
The second surprise was the overall image quality and the easy way it was focussed on all of our camera's (Canon's, Sony, Pentaxes). Qualitywise it sweeps the floor with my Minolta 4/70-210 beercan.
The last surprise was what my son displayed here: the quality in the closefocus area. The lens is ideal for shy insects as dragonflies and butterflies. Next step will be the addition of a small extensionring to catch smaller insects. _________________
