I had a pretty good macro lens, the Tamron 90mm, but I think this lens is better. The Pentax is better made and I've been very satisfied with the pictures. It's actually smaller and lighter as well, which is a benefit when I travel or hike with the lens. The only advantage that the Tamron has is the focus-limiter. On the other hand the Pentax is water resistant while the Tamron is not. I'm very happy with the Pentax lens. The Tamron is now for sale.

Excellent macro abilities, 100mm telephoto angle of view is perfect for cropping out unwanted subject matter. F 2.8 is great for some low light conditions, but is even better combined with the macro for depth of field control. I'm looking forward to shooting many close up shots with this lens.
Razor sharp and water resistant. An excellent value.
